in the goal we concede like that.
Utter joke.

We 100% deserved that. And just to make damn sure, we created the goal for them.Quote:

Leo's replacement scores an OG after a move he basically created on the left.
Oh, we totally deserved that. We don't deserve to win the title if we can't hold on to a 2-0 lead. But they give straight red to players trying to win the ball who can't quite keep their studs down because that loss of control can sometimes injure people.
But when a player just goes out to injure someone off the ball, leading to his substitution with concussion, that's all right.
I don't get it, just like I don't understand the shirt pulling law.
I dont think anyone genuinely understands the thinking behind red cards anymore. Including refs.Quote:

Calafiori blocked the debut kid's shot on the line, diverted it sideways where it hit the post, rebounded back, struck Cala again and went in. No way is that an o.g. Quite rightly has been credited to Edozie. And yes, we deserved that. Not the first rush of blood to the head Raya has been guilty of this season.Quote:

Disagree, that was Raya's ball all day long. Gabriel should have known that. Only excuse is if Raya didn't call.Quote:

Bueno looks across to see where Leo is and then deliberately smacks him in the chin with the top of his shoulder. He intended to injure Leo off the ball and does so, giving him concussion and getting him subbed off.
That should have been a second yellow at least. Imo, it should be a straight red. He wasn't trying to win the ball, like those late, studs up tackles that get a straight red are. He decided to see if he could hurt him, had a look at where he was, decided he could and did so. Paul Davis without the justification.
