71 mins Gary comes on 81 mins straight red for bad challenge and 3 match ban. CEO Mark Maguire said when he signed: "What happens next will be largely down to Gary and will either be seen as a stroke of genius or madness." Taxi for Gary and Mark / Board for the signing with Gary joining them, or welcome him back in 3 games time?  |

Chester are still playing and you woukd rather start a thread about a player who's been 'unfairly' sent off? Sad little man.

Absolutely crazy. Said it at the time. He hasn't played anywhere near this level or standard for years. A signing that stunk of desperation and it has cost us big time.

A bit 50/50 I've heard if it was a red or not, can it not be appealed?

You're probably right tbf. Many will say it was worth a gamble. Personally as a bit of a new league buff I've seen enough of Gary to know he's finished at our level. |

On the match thread (thanks hackett, I can do two things at once) several who were there have no arguments with it being a straight red.

Wasn’t wrong when he said he’d let his football do the talking!
How many chances does the lad need?
Doubt we’ll see him again now.

Manager and Board's decision.
How much has that 9 minutes cost us in hard cash?

If he serves a three match ban he will simply miss three matches on the bench. We played 9 minutes of a Mickey Mouse cup with 10 men. So what, no big deal.
Put things into perspective. Focus for the rest of the season now solely on league survival, apart from which, winning this cup is synonymous with relegation. It certainly won’t be the failure to win £7k today that has f*cked the budget will it?

By all accounts the whole performance for the whole match was unworthy of a win. The only chance of getting a result came from a Roberts through ball which Hannah proceeded to waste. You don’t mention that. |

But is he on a pay as you play deal, as otherwise he will be earning club (and therefore fans) money for being banned? |

Does he get paid during that time? |

Sounds like we were pretty abject before his dismissal. Not seen the lad play but I would be prepared to give him a second chance given the dismal quality of the current squad.

Here come the hysterics.
A player gets red carded. It's hardly earth-shattering news, is it?

In a theoretical way you can imagine now Roberts is banned for 3 matches, the few hundred from Blacon meant to be at the Gateshead match will no longer be in attendance. Quite a bit of ££ lost there. If we won today we’d have had 2000+ for Gateshead. Huge opportunity missed today. |

If he gets paid to sit out the next three games then it is a reflection of incompetence in the terms of his contract, and you know who to blame for that. |

I had a feeling referees would have his card marked, so any borderline incident was only going to go one way. Such a shame.

Wasn't there to see the red card, only heard the commentary, so I'm loathe to pass judgement on the card itself or Roberts.
Until certain people have seen it, I would politely suggest holding back on the condemnation.
This is coming from someone who wasn't at all enthused about Robert's signing

Going to lock this thread as it’s already getting out of hand, any discussions about today’s football can be posted in the match thread.
