MATCH THREAD " AFC BOURNEMOUTH v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Cardiff just opened up there. The ball drops to Anthony on the left and he shifts it inside before firing a shot from the edge of the box. It's deflected again, but this time into Smithies' hands.

Harris dangerous cross is cleared. (1-0)

Oh massive chance! That's the second one Moore has fluffed from close range.

Giles again with a lovely cross across the six-yard box and Moore slides in but once again just places it into the keeper's midfriff.

Big opportunity goes begging there.

Keiffer Moore should have scored but instead looks to have taken a knock to the head

42mins 1-0

45mins: 1-0


Moore flicks it on at the near post from Ralls' corner, but McGuinness' half-volley is skied over the bar.

1-2 at 90

C'mon City Onwards and upwards

RED CARD! Leandro Bacuna sent off...!

Crazy challenge and deserved, I'm afraid

The first half closes as frenetically as it started but no additional goals

Bournemouth clearly creating the bulk of the chances but the Bluebirds not going without either

HALF-TIME SCORE: BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

There we go. Game gone. Idiot.

Bacuna must never play for us again

first impression not a red but no replays on on red button

The ref was conned by their players, he went for the yellow & they changed his mind but it should have been a red anyway.

Two footed scissor tackle in the air - red all day long.

Not sure what you watching

That was worth three reds that. Awful challenge.

A red all day long. He had to foul their player, but an ankle tap would have sufficed rather than a waist high lunge at speed from behind methinks.....

Their players got him sent off, never looked a red card

Bacuna is a tw*t..nothing more to say

As said above no replays on the red button coverage. But I actually applauded the challenge as a good ‘professional foul’ to stop the counter and worth taking a yellow card. And then of course the Bournemouth players do what they do best and the red gives a red. Unless the replay shows something different there’s no way it was a red. The midfield was having a very good game too.

Bad tackle , sorry not a tackle , more like assault . Red all day

Surely it has to be excessive force or dangerous to be a red? Its not like he flew in at him he more or less was on his back then chopped him down?

Shut the door on your way out please.

Just what you don't need when you're playing away against the team that's top of the table and you're already losing.

Can you sack a player for being total dogshit?

Game effectively over now. Chasing a game is one thing, with ten men against a quality side, well? If it happebs, I was here to see it...

It was an horrible tackle red card without doubt

Their players got him sent off, never looked a red card

Players never got him sent off - terrible challenge first time round when you see it again even worse.

Red all day long and some - he has lost his head - total liability.

Dobbin, it was an awful tackle and red all day long in this day and age!

As soon as I seen his name on the teamsheet I thought here we go. He doesn't offer anything

More than a professional challenge that.

No wonder the Bournemouth fans were fuming.

All because he followed the ball like an 8 year old.

My guess was he was the middle sitter but ended up in front of Ralls again, so realised he was on the wrong side yet again and thought that insane tackle was the way to redeem himself.

This whole group are so unprofessional its shocking.

There are tactical fouls when you watch back you will realise there was nothing tactical just reckless

At least we won't have to put up with Bacuna for 3 games now. A truly useless footballer. If he spent as much time on practicing football as he does tarting around with his hair he'd have won the Balloon D'or by now.
