Furious fans have taken to social media to criticise the decision to send off West Brom striker Dwight Gayle during the Championship Play-Off semi-final at Villa Park.With mere minutes of normal time remaining, Gayle was given a second yellow for a late challenge on Jed Steer to round off an uncomfortable afternoon for the Baggies at the home of their bitter rivals.2
That's disgusting refereeing. Dwight Gayle is a striker! If he's not going for that ball then he's not doing his job! Awful awful decision. What a farce football has become. #AVLWBA— Dylan Baker (@DylanBaker1986) May 11, 2019
#DwightGayle has every right to attack that cross. Shambles referee— (@CammyDicko) May 11, 2019
Game ruined by refereeing, thought WBA should have had a penalty for the barge in the back by Abraham, then the red for Gayle incredibly harsh as hes entitled to go for the ball #ASTWBA— Stuart Forsyth (@sjforsyth) May 11, 2019
Anyone who thinks Dwight Gayle should be sent off for that is absolutely deluded. Game has gone soft.— (@conorrryan) May 11, 2019
Dwight Gayle has got to go for that ball there, poor sending off I think— Disco (@youngdavid85) May 11, 2019
For me Dwight Gayle has every right to go for that ball, maybe thats bias, but if he doesnt go for it then Albion fans would have a go that were behind and he doesnt try #wbafc— Kayleigh Tully (@MrsTully14) May 11, 2019
Very harsh red that on Dwight Gayle. Promotion on the line, you want your striker going for that. #AVLWBA— woggle (@woggleisking) May 11, 2019
Dont know why people are saying its a daft challenge from #dwightgayle for a start there was minimal contact, and secondary he has to go fir that ball! Shocking decision! Should get overturned that but its 2 yellows so it wont. Terrible #villa #WestBrom #Playoffs2019— Bryn Shurgold (@shurgold_bryn) May 11, 2019
