The young bloods of the South: men who never did work and never will. War suits them, and the rascals are brave, fine riders, bold to rashness, and dangerous subjects in every sense. They hate Yankees…and they are the most dangerous set of men that this war has turned loose upon the world. They are splendid riders, first-rate shots, and utterly reckless. Stuart, Morgan, and Forrest, are the types and leaders of this class. These men must all be killed or employed by us before we can hope for peace. They have no property or futures, and therefore cannot be influenced by anything, except personal considerations.-WTS

A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:

BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.

The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.

When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.

In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.

This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.

The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.

@CorpBarnaby “ thus did old Dan Sickles leave the war, to go onto other endeavors, including a well publicized liaison with the deposed nymphomaniac Queen of Spain” Shelby Foote
That is in the running for the greatest sentence ever written in the English language.

@FischerKing64 Is that a warning or an admonition ?

@imasillyposter @TjWhite1017 @Will_Tanner_1 In an event, it’s one of the greatest “what ifs” of the war.

[Scott Sullivan @SullyVt68]

@imasillyposter @TjWhite1017 @Will_Tanner_1 They had enough to fight the greatest battle of this continent had ever seen, on the attack no less. Imagine if they were the ones receiving an attack.

[Scott Sullivan @SullyVt68]

@TjWhite1017 @imasillyposter @Will_Tanner_1 Under supplied, they gathered enough forage to feed the ANV for months upon months, before they even fought the battle
