Good luck to officiating team tonight! It will be intense!
ReplyDeleteGood early YC, clear decision.
ReplyDeleteYep,no messing around .
DeleteOne more correct yellow card issued to Buendia!
ReplyDeleteDon't think its even a foul,
DeleteYeah he only tried to decapitate him with one arm. Clear YC
DeleteAnd one more correct yellow card to Cash!
ReplyDeleteshould be red
ReplyDeleteI dont agree
DeleteYC ok
DeleteA sending-off would certainly have been supported by the VAR; nevertheless, I dare say we cannot conclude that the caution was a clear error, the the contact is initially with the ball, and then with the opponent’s foot, before finally, eventually, making contact with the shin.
Deleteno compromise
ReplyDeleteFirst YC: correct, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteSecond YC: opponent exaggerated contact, as we know it's always done, but correct decision by French referee.
Third YC: maybe even more than YC...
So far a game in which we haven't seen, thank goodness, a "final approach" by the referee.
The third YC Letexier gave was because of Cash’s reaction, not because of the foul itself, from what I saw… the foul itself was at the very least a YC
DeleteThe fact that Cash is playing the ball first and that there is. I pressure on the leg is saving him otherwise it would have been a clear RC.
ReplyDeleteCertainly high end YC. The block lacked intensity and impact so VAR won’t get involved
