Exactly, it's madness to call it reckless. It ended up being a bad challenge but there was nothing malicious or even out zof co trol about the challenge. The Saudi Sportswashing Machine player just got the better of him, it was a deserved yellow but never a red.
It's crazy to think Cash just straight up kicked Bentancur, got nowhere near the ball and gets a yellow yet Neville thinks a genuine challenge should be a red.
Haven't been on here since the game, and we're really discussing Romeros challenge? Unbelievable...
Nothing to discuss, ref got it spot on, free kick and yellow. Move along.
Romero did get a similar treatment himself earlier in the game, with the same result if I recall correctly.
Of all stupid decisions made by refs lately this is a non-starter, and shouldn't even be on the agenda after such a brilliant game.
I guess someone is questioning the Son penalty as well then, even though the keeper catches him not just once, but twice in the same challenge. First the foot, then the hand to the knee.
Just about half a year ago we were humiliated by this lot, not because they were so frickin' good, but because we were brick, had a clueless caretaker out of his depths in charge, and completly lost the plot. Yesterday, we got our revenge. Not because they were brick, but because we were (for the most of the game) very good.
We're still not firing on all cylinders, we're still missing quite a few important bits, but this was a very good improvement from the Spammers-game.
If we continue this progress and keep scoring goals like this, I'm totally fine with having to live with my hearth in my throath even when Spurs are 3 goals up 10 minutes before full time. As a certain fellow would say, "That's who we are, mate!"
