Is there only me thinks he actually won the ball with his 1st challenge?
Nope, I thought he won the ball as well. The problem is that whether or not you dive in with two feet or one, you can’t then vanish. He wins the ball and then both players collide. It’s what happens. Probably is a booking, but the Stearman one before it (which could quite easily have been red as it was a shocker – he was certainly nowhere near the ball) definitely influenced the decision.

I don’t think anything influenced the Thomas decision. Both were clear red cards and to be fair, there shouldn’t even be a debate. He had to go and there would have been outrage from everybody bar WAFC supporters if he hadn’t seen red.
Who’s give a sh*t? He got sent off, so what, we won 2-0. that’s all that really matters.
He is a half decent player who will miss a match but with the emergence of James McCarthy he may even struggle to get his place back anyway.
I have to agree with JamesC here.
Both of Thomas’ challenges were foolish/reckless and the second one could easily have been a straight red on any other day.
You can’t go in with two feet raised like that and whether or not you get the ball is immaterial.
However with hindsight I do believe that it would have been better to take him off before he got any further in trouble but as we all know hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Hendry needs to be very careful when he returns from suspension because he is a valuable member of the squad and with the amount of cautions he has picked up so far any more and he’ll be up for further absenteeism and that of course could prove very detrimental to our top flight status come May.

I meant for his booking 60 seconds after Stearman’s but I know what you mean
If you jump into a tackle with both feet off the floor it is deemed reckless as, under the laws of the game, you are deemed not to no longer be on control of your body/the tackle.
In that respect the first challenge was worst than the second & to say Webb wouldn’t have booked him if he hadn’t just booked Stearman is a load of rubbish.
As others have pointed out, the fact that he won the ball is irrelevant. If a player leaps in like that & just misjudges the other players speed or the speed of the ball & catches him, the to put it simply the other player would be f00ked
As for the second one, the full back was going to clear it & Thomas committed himself to a tackle. The full back cleared it & then Thomas arrived about a second later & wound up booting him up into the air.

A clear bookingTyldeselylatic… That is EXACTLY what I have been saying, Regardless of Stearman’s booking, or anything else, any ref and in fact anybody who saw the two tackles know that they were both easily worthy of a booking and he HAD to go, Im not saying I wanted him to or anything it’s just that people are arguing that the 1st one was partially because of Stearmans booking just before and that the 2nd one was because he was ‘looking to even it up’. Both were clear bookings and wreckless by Thomas and would have been a sending off regardless of the circumstances. The first would have been a straight red for some refs.
He deserved to be sent off for te first one tbh.
The second was easily a yellow card offence.
He shouldn’t have done it, he deserved sending off, end of discussion.

Never mind im out, girl kept bluffing, all game, I raise pre-flop with pocket 7’s, she goes all in (as per) so I call thinking (knowing) im more than likely good. She had Jack F***ing 6 off suit. I flop trips and she needs runner-runner for her 4 card straight with the 6, and sure as hell, runner-runner. Dents my stack, I push with Kings, 1,200 all in on blinds of 50-100, Idiot calls me with 6-3 off suit, Full F***ing house! Oh there was some words exchanged. In another bounty, bigger buy in now, awesome :D
