Spot on, seen enough of this character to see he's a major liability. No more Osho please.

I've watched it back and it's not a red card.

He rushed into the challenge but he was in control.

No high studs, no intent to cause damage and just a genuine tackle.

So stand by what I said at the time - not a red card.

So many posters jumping on the "Osho is a liability" bandwagon. Yes he made a few mistakes in this first few games but since coming back from injury he's been very solid and has deserved his start in the team. BBM certainly thinks so.

I wonder how many of those posters would be saying "yes it's definitely a red card" if it was Chambers or Fish that made that challenge, cos they are both capable of making it.

Give the guy a break, he's our player and I bet he's feeling terrible right now.

He needs our support, not abuse.

I think it probably was after watching the highlights after the game, but as it was early and the first only foul really, I would say only about 33% of refs would have sent him off on a live view. Still, it is was what it is, a stupid challenge that cost us three points.

It's a yellow, and not Osho's fault he was in control it was late not dangerous, ridiculous decision

I also said at the time it was a yellow, and the replay shows that while it was rash, it wasn't a dangerous tackle. The ref didn't take any time to think about it - had the red in his hand before he even got to the players. It was a shame as Osho was having a pretty decent game.

That ref has given 13 red cards this season he couldn't wait to get it out of his pocket, was it a bit of a rash tackle yes but we've had plenty against us this season without even yellows given, the whole game turned on that moment we were comfortably in control and would have won that game with 11 men

Totally agree. He couldn't wait to show his authority.

Osho had a fantastic game against Exeter and deserved his place in the team last night. We will miss him but thankfully we have cover.

Agree entirely with that analyses. I watched it at the time and thought it was a yellow and to me the replay clearly shows that. However it was a rash challenge and for that he must take some of the blame. But people need to get off his back.

Even some Wycombe fans are saying it's not a red.

When you watch the replay, you can see the genuine shock on Osho's face that he got a red card.

9 refs out of 10 it's a yellow in my opinion but the officiating in this league is atrocious I just saw the Luton penalty from last night and it's 100x worse than the osho decision the efl need to have a long hard look at referees as something needs to be done, I hate var with a passion but the number of shit decisions that have gone against us this season makes me wonder

A lot of of own fans couldn't wait for an excuse to abuse Osho, the ref gave them a perfect one.

Shame on those fans :thumbdown: :angry7:

What you say about people getting on his back is true and it seems like some are just looking for an excuse to have a go at him, but Osho was actually clapped off by pretty much the whole stadium as he made his way down the tunnel last night.

It's ridiculous.

Can guarantee that those who are saying it was definitely a red card wouldn't be saying that if Lawlor had made that tackle.

Some (so called) supporters seeming need a ‘Boo Boy’ to take their frustration out on! Happens every season! :cry:

I would say 95% of the useless pricks refereeing in League 1 would have sent him off. The other 5% would have taken their guide dogs onto the pitch to help with their decisions.

Osho would not be my defence pick.

Part of the red was probably around intent .

Re: Osho red card

Fri Mar 20, 2026 2:55 pm

Are we really still debating this?

He went recklessly steaming in at pace, missed the ball and wiped him out with excessive force.

How can it be anything other than a red? :lol:

Reckless, but not dangerous.

Yellow card all day long.

Surely they talk about the ref before the game? So knowing he’s red card happy and jumping in like that is plain stupid. No sympathy whatsoever and I most certainly didn’t clap him off.
