Missed the last half hour, how did Yedlin do?

 

Don't remember him touching the ball. Game died after about 70 mins.

 

We were happy just to casually knock it about, with 10 men they found it hard to get the ball , then in the last 10 mins they had all the ball and we just sat and soaked it up. I don't think Yedlin even got a touch at that point.

Only watched the highlights, but it looks like they were fairly unlucky. First Knockaert hit the bar and then their striker is sent off for fuck all just moments later.

Nah.

 

It was a definite yellow like, if that had been his first no one would have said anything. Could have broke Sels leg.

Striker was sent off for being the thickest cunt on the pitch. Hughts must've been spitting.

 

Aye, absolutely desperate lunge. They wouldn't have got anything out of it even with eleven, but that red card ended the contest. The spell after it happened up to the goal was great to watch.

You'll change your mind if you watch the whole game. Even the highlights showed us hitting the bar.

 

Was a clear second yellow

Get away. :lol:

 

You see those all the time, where a forward player attempts to block a defensive clearance and gets kicked. And you see the player get booked every time.

He did nowt wrong imo. Sels kicked the ball and hit their striker with his trailling leg.

That's what I'm saying, yellow all day long, yeah you see it all the time but his leg was twisted on his way down, if he'd have landed on it it'd been fucking nasty. Not saying it was a particularly nasty foul, but a foul nonetheless.

Dat professionalism. So rare to see.

Don't agree on the second yellow, but other than that you're probably right. Think I'll watch the full 90 minutes tomorrow.

Thought it was unfortunate but not 'harsh'. It's absolutely the standard result of an incident like that, problem for the lad was he had already been booked.

 

:thup:

 

Yellow (red) card for being utterly brainless.

Thought it was harsh tbh.

 

Had every right to close Sels down and it wasn't exactly like he could just stop running. I'd have been fuming if Perez, for example, got booked and subsequently sent off for that.

 

I think the reaction from the crowd also swayed the refs decision.

They were lucky not to be 2 or 3 down before they hit the bar (the same bar Gouff hit before that), we bossed the game and the sending off was one of the few things the ref got right out there. When you are on a yellow already, you don't go in like that, simply stupid.
