ShaneRalfRoss 304 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Walter saved Bougy from 2 reds By DEREK McGREGOR and ROGER HANNAH Published: 14 Sep 2009 rigTeaserImage WALTER SMITH saved Madjid Bougherra from a SECOND red card by telling him to say sorry to ref Dougie McDonald. Bougy landed two bookings for his wild protests at McDonald's penalty award at Motherwell on Saturday. SunSport understands the Gers ace could have faced further trouble for continuing his complaints on the way off the pitch. But a potential second flashpoint was defused when Bougy apologised after post-match advice from his gaffer. The centre back was accompanied to the ref's room at Fir Park by a Gers security officer. McDonald accepted his apology and limited his punishment to one red card, which will mean a one-match ban. The ref said: "He apologised for his outburst and was very remorseful for his conduct. "I think it was a very decent touch by him." McDonald gave a penalty, which Jim O'Brien saw Allan McGregor save, for Bougherra's late trip on Well sub Lukas Jutkiewicz in the 0-0 draw. The defender was fuming and landed a first yellow for his loud and lengthy protests. The ref then flashed a second yellow and red as captain David Weir tried to haul back the centre half. Fourth official Chris Boyle is understood to have been unhappy at the Algerian's aggressive attitude. But he will face no more punishment after a heartfelt apology to the officials. Bougherra will now miss Saturday's SPL trip to Kilmarnock, with Lee McCulloch set to step back into defence. The SFA's Head of Referee Development Hugh Dallas said: "Bougherra was sent off as a result of two yellow cards. "The first was for dissent and the second as a result of continued infringement of the rules, in this case also relating to dissent. "I would, however, like to commend the player for going to the referee's room to apologise for his actions." http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/ho...rom-2-reds.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnyLoyal 1,136 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was so pissed of when Boogy got sent off. It is such a stupid thing to get sent off for. Disappointed in the big man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,724 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The first was for dissent? So it wasnt for conceding a penalty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 358 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The first was for dissent? So it wasnt for conceding a penalty? The first was for his direct protests to the ref, but the second (which was also for 'dissent'), appears to have been for his actions while walking away from the ref, which for me, were NEVER a bookable offense!! He should NOT have been sent off, so I'm a bit dismayed at reading so many people saying they're disappointed with Boogie. It's the ref that was disappointing imo!

Otis 1 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 He'll need to learn to button it, ok it was no penalty but we're now going to Rugby PArk with McCulloch in central defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes something excessive in terms of protest for a ref to pull out a single yellow!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 358 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 He should know to zip it, especially after a first yellow. What is protesting going to achieve anyway? After the first yellow, his protest wasn't even directed at the ref. He was walking away in a manner which was just annoyance regarding the situation & the fact that the penalty had been given & possibly lost us the game & for some reason the ref deemed his actions while walking away from him as another dissent offense. All very strange, but the second yellow was definitely a shocking decision by the ref imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxblue 122 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Am I misunderstanding what happened? Is it just me that thinks he shouldn't have been sent off?? It's very unusual for a player to get two yellows in quick succession, both for dissent. I think it's a possibility that the second one was unjustified. But I suspect we'll never get an explanation of exactly what happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef 436 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 what is the difference from the dive rooney did that was getting talked about just days after the eduardo incident, to me there was no difference from the motherwell player and what rooney did, he was throwing the weight of his body downwards fooling the ref, to me boogie was undeserving of a red card, people should make there mind up with what is trying to fool the ref and what is a genuine foul. he did make contact and it was a penalty but NOT a red card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef 436 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The red wasn't for the challenge mate... yeh right enuff, so he must have said something that was serious enough to merit it, so it must be in his notes and surely would get printed in the press as things like this never go a miss do they, all confusing really but i dont think he did anything from what i saw, hence must have said really harsh words Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef 436 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 lets hope referees keep consistency wit these issues the, i agree that refs get hounded too much at times but nearly in every game here is someone disputing the ref or linesman atc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxblue 122 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 As far as I can tell the sending-off looks harsh. As mentioned above Boogie gets the second yellow while walking away: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8253592.stm A question is raised about consistency of refereeing when you see the same referee giving Scott McDonald just a yellow for repeatedly berating him. (Did the player call the ref a a "fucking cheat" - supposedly a big no-no?): http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=10py5ht&s=5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
