How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

@doondoondoondoon6588grabbing a shirt and hair are just not the same thing the hair is literally a part of the body and it causes a lot more pain than a shirt or other body part being pulled and you ca very clearly see tolu had his hair tied up and secured and even at that point are saying if someone with long hair gets their hair pulled it’s fine because their hair isn’t securely tied like assault=justified because their hair isn’t properly tied up to your standard???

You shouldn’t be allowed to gain an edge because of your haircut. Getting whipped in the eye by a dread or long hair isn’t pleasant but who asks for a red card for that? Accidentally grabbing hair shouldn’t lead to a red card. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Controversial
Wolverhampton supporters were divided after a 1-1 draw against Sunderland, with some praising Rob Edwards' side for competing despite going down to ten men early on, whilst others remained deeply concerned about their dire season and relegation prospects.

Ballard Red Card Sparks Hair-Pulling Debate
Fans are divided over whether Dan Ballard's red card for pulling an opponent's hair was justified, with many arguing the rules have become absurd whilst others blame players for not tying long hair back or keeping their hands to themselves.

Fans Rage at Referee Decisions in Contentious Draw
Controversial
Supporters are furious with officiating throughout the match, with particular anger directed at individual player errors — specifically Isidor's poor touch — that they believe cost their side a result.

Wolves Fans Exasperated by Tolu Arokodare's Finishing
Wolverhampton supporters are venting their frustration at striker Tolu Arokodare's woeful proficiency in front of goal, with fans questioning how a player who scored 14 goals in Belgium can be so consistently poor with both his touch and his decision-making in the final third. The overwhelming consensus is that selling him in the summer would be a relief for the club.

Wolves Fans Demand Manager Sack After 10-Man Stalemate
Wolverhampton supporters are furious that their side failed to capitalise on playing against ten men for over an hour, drawing 0-0 and then conceding an equaliser, with many calling for manager Rob Edwards' immediate dismissal over tactical ineptitude and poor substitution choices. The anger centres on defensive, passive football and a refusal to press numerical advantage, with fans questioning whether Edwards has any coherent gameplan at all.

Santiago Bueno Levels Match as Wolves Fight Back
Fans celebrated Santiago Bueno's 54th-minute equaliser that brought Wolverhampton level after falling behind to Nordi Mukiele's early header, with supporters praising Bueno's consistency and composure in directing the ball into the bottom corner from an inswinging corner. The goal salvaged a point for the hosts in what had been a difficult afternoon, though the prevailing tone among the discussion remained measured rather than triumphant.

"My gripe with the hair pulling thing is the classification of “violent”. We see some brutal tackles that are passable and not considered “violent”. I would say any hair pull we’ve seen this season doesn’t constitutes “violent” activity.

"The worst EVER red card decision iv ever seen in my life and will ever see!!!

WORST DECISION IV SEEN IN MY LIFE."

"The red card was soft as shite. No pulling at all"
14 replies mixed replies more positive Show replies
Just massive handful of hair tho haha
@attacklifeukit’s soft it was stupid but like I think he’s shouldn’t have tried to grab anything but like it’s soft. Some of the officiating in the game was dreadful −
The rules are the rules mate
@Freddieyorkshiremanyeah it’s a little soft but it should be common sense if you pull a full hand of someone’s hair you’ve pulled a full hand of someone’s hair mistake or not
@Mura-p8xthe thing is I think the hair pull is accidental my old man always says if your a pro footballer like in any profession you have like certain standards. He says your a pro footballer there’s gonna be pushing and shoving don’t have long hair it’s always soft. He shouldn’t be pulling I agree but it’s very soft
@Freddieyorkshiremanyes there will always be pushing and shoving but the difference is pulling someone shoulder and someone’s hair is dramatically different one causes very minor pain the other can cause genuine pain −
@Mura-p8xit’s not like he’s yanked it aggressively though. Violent conduct it’s not aggressive or violent −
@Freddieyorkshiremanyes but if you accidentally because someone is running very quick miss time a a slide tackle and seriously injure them because of it you prob will get a red not all reds have to intentional but he pull him backwards with his hair it’s still not a good thing to do −
@Mura-p8xI get ur point but I think it is soft. He shouldn’t pull but it’s not a red for me −
@Freddieyorkshiremanyeah I mean all I’m saying is that’s why the rules are how they are not saying they should or shouldn’t change I think it’s based on the scenarios and how bad it was rlly −

ange gomes is confirmed gone basically, we’re covering all his wages which isn’t viable in the championship −
He’s been useless since he came. Don’t know he’s on the pitch most the time, scared of the ball. −
↳ I mean he's not exactly a ball winning midfielder sure
↳ He’s scared of the ball. A toddler would compete with him. Someone just sent him half way across the pitch in a 70/30 in gomes favour. −
↳ Did the same thing not happen with mout?
↳ When? The dude never let anyone near him to push him off the ball.
↳ Honestly idk anymore maybe I'm just clutching at straws of optimism −
↳ In all fairness, that was a great ball at the end. Few and fair between though. Cant have someone who’s apparently ‘skills’ are carrying the ball being scared of the ball, the other team and anyone getting near him. The mout comparison is miles off. He was never known for that. Never saw a player in a wolves shirt who can appear to be stood still but still in acres of space, took 1 touch then moved it on in a positive way. +

It’s also very easy to know what hair feels like and what a shirt feels like. Once you feel the hair, just let go don’t instead yank it or keep hold of it. You aren’t getting away with that, why risk it. He clearly holds it from before to after the jump, even if Tolu makes a bit of a meal of it (but that’s smart from him and how you get decisions given)
Nah, if you’ve played centre back it’s so easily done… he had eyes on the ball the whole time, hardly violent conduct.
Alright then, let’s just instruct every player to grow their hair down to their arses and nobody can lay a finger on them. −
↳ I know you're being facetious, but it wouldn't be the first time hair is used to one's advantage. Cucurella is known for putting his hair in opposition faces in a crowded penalty box. Even if MMA, i remember UFC ex-LHW champion Glover Teixeira made sure his head and beard was shaved just enough to be stubbly, so that it irritated his opponent's skin.
↳ I remember Marouane Fellaini using his barnet to cussion the ball during headers and would have the floatiest lofted headers you'd ever seen. Perfect in certain scenarios. +
↳ That shouldnt be a thing tho shouldnt come past the shoulders then. Will protect the leauges image from "violent conduct" if hairs past your colar theres a chance it gets pulled lets just remove that possibility. −
↳ You shouldn’t be allowed to gain an edge because of your haircut. Getting whipped in the eye by a dread or long hair isn’t pleasant but who asks for a red card for that? Accidentally grabbing hair shouldn’t lead to a red card. Live by the sword, die by the sword. −

The only reason why it's not the common meta strat is because footballers care too much about their looks. Otherwise every single player would be rocking the cucurella mane.

Another turgid afternoon at Molineux. Edwards is not the man. Even against 10 we had little ideas or any patterns and it felt like Sunderland could win… His lack of subs and the pointless Edozie on late on truly baffling.

Tolu drawing two red cards this year with a hair pull. Gonna see a new trend of players growing their hair out in the years to come.

Absolute joke. In recent weeks there have been 3 "major" incidents for hair pulling. Martinez - Man Utd vs Leeds - red card Cucurella - Chelsea vs Leeds - no red card Ballard - Sunderland vs Wolves - red card It's the inconsistency that is the killer - they're using that now li…

The sports gone. Fucking red card for that is an absolute disgrace. It should be a yellow card but if you play for Arsenal it's nothing. Absolute joke. I don't know why Ballard did it though.

I could understand if he grabbed a bunch of them and yanked his head back but the way his rat tails and flopping about I would say that was more of it just landing in his hand. They should start making them wear hair nets tbh if they want to protect hair styles so much.

What a stupid rule for hair pulling this is. I get cracking down on it when its done intentionally but there's no nuance to it when its 2 players challenging each other. Accidental incidents are bound to happen. Maybe tell players they have to have their hair tied up before just …
