red card for Hannibal
U23's: Derby (H) Monday 7pm
- Thread starter Bertie Wooster
- Start date
straight red as well
Well, this is ridiculous (and typical of what we see from refs in the U23 level against United). Hannibal just got his 2nd yellow for dissent. I think this is the first time I've seen a player get sent off for 2 yellows, both for dissent, in a long time.
Getting tired of Hannibals antics now
These refs are straight up fecking cnuts
I think Thornley's misinformed. I saw the ref pull out a 2nd yellow before showing a red.
Straight red for waving the imaginary card. English refs 
Ref is a knob.
Truly incredible.
Hannibal gets his legs snapped every single week with no punishment. Yet he gets sent off for dissent.
Officiating at this level is dead.

They kind of remind me of the reactions from Ronaldo and Neymar, both of whom also got/get kicked regularly.
Oh give it a break - he stands there for 10 seconds indicating a yellow card.
He definitely pulled out a yellow, then a red. I missed the first half. Was Hannibal booked?
2-1 Derby
He was booked in the 35th minute
He gets kicked off the park every game and you are complaining about his antics.
He got a 2nd yellow - and that was 100% correct. So he must have got a yellow in the first half
A red though?
He has his hand right in the ref’s face too. Deserved booking. Silly boy. No idea why it was upgraded to red though. That was weird.
He has been fouled twice in the game - and when he is held and gets a freekick he indicates to the referee yellow card - which is a clear yellow card to him. So yes - this is all Hannibal.
yah lets give a straight red to a player who has been fouled 60 times this season with very few yellows given for them, for complaining about someone chopping him down and not getting a yellow.
Shows the cnuty priorities of these refs. Player safety, who gives a feck. Offend my ego, get off the pitch.
Yeah, he was booked in the first half after fouling a Derby player and complaining afterwards to the ref.
I don't recall a yellow in the first half unless he got one after the first half whistle. There was a skirmish after the whistle for half time when Shoretire whacked the ball in the direction of the Derby player who had just fouled Hannibal.
2 yellow - either he got a yellow in the first or he said something to the referee in addition to waving the card
ah there you go - well no brainer then. Well deserved red
Hannibal was at fault there but let's not forget there has been probably 100 challenge on him this season that deserved straight red. Must be frustrating for him that he gets absolutely no protection at this level and it's basically opposition players kicking him all around the park
I need to pay more attention. The commentator didn't realize he was booked in the first half either!
On the other hand, he was getting pulled and kicked more and more towards the end of the first half. To top it all off, he was down because of a head injury (after Cresswell's shoulder accidentally hit his jaw), and the ref let that go.
The rules for this level are you are allowed to try and end players' careers on a weekly basis, but don't you dare wave an imaginary card about.
Hansen goes off for Omari Forson, and Alvaro Fernandesz comes on for Max Taylor, who was already on a yellow.
That was nothing. He was bundled fairly off the ball and collided with Cresswell - it was an accident.
The rules at any level is that waving an imaginery card is a yellow - even for Hannibal
Yeah these refs literally don't give a feck about his wellbeing and he's not allowed to be frustrated. feck these refs.
There you go. He needs to learn to wind his neck in. He seemed to have a misplaced sense of injustice after losing the ball carelessly in the lead up to their opener, then accidentally running into a Derby player. Considering the genuinely nasty treatment he’s had in the past it’s disappointing to see how thin skinned he’s being today.
But normal rules are not applied to U23 football, hence why assaults are a legal move (or at least only warrant a free-kick)
Ridiculous, isn't it? Then again, you see what Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar have to deal with, and you sort of see why refs and other people put less importance on the constant pulls, trips, and kicks.
Is he suspended tomorrow?
This. There have been many games where he has been entitled to being frustrated. Today he has not had a single nasty tackle towards him - just 2-3 fairly harmless fouls. No need for him to lose his temper like that
I think Utd need to do something about the treatment Hannibal continues to receive by the opposition (and the refs!).
Edit: says me who is not watching the game today and therefore making wrong assumptions it seems.

It wasn’t a foul but it was a clear head injury. Referee’s should have a lower thresholds for stopping play at this level, where results don’t matter. So that was a shitty piece of refereeing, even though the sending off was fair.
