I know it was pretty harmless and there was no danger of causing any real physical harm, but it’s

quite clear from the video that Costa does barge into that steward.

Put it this way, if the steward had been a ballboy, I don’t think people would be so quick to brush it off.

I can't manufacture any outrage on this one, I'm afraid. No matter how hard I try.

Obviously didnt see that match this weekend when costa did that sort of thing at least three times as well as, as you say, barging a steward.

So, like, are you allowed to do this in front of the referee nowadays? Grab someone aggressively around the face, digging your thumb into their cheek?

Or summit else?

Nope. Can't find a dog to back in that fight.

His need to generate aggro is almost pathological. Like with Lehmann, who I still maintain was a lunatic.

gutted about it afterwards. I can forgive and forget.

team that every game he becomes embroiled in this kind of **** with at least one opposing player (and often more).
