How the fek is that a red card
We call them a Royale with cheese...Just sent off for Brazil in a brainfart that even Aurier wouldn't have.
Easily a second yellow which is what it was.Fucking ridiculous. He was watching the ball the whole way, so what if he vaguely catches him in the bollocks. Get up and get on with it u absolute fanny instead of rolling round like you've been shot. Hate this bloody sport at times!
I dont necessarily disagree that most refs these days would see that as a booking. I just wish that wasn't what had become of the game. Its a sad state of affairs when that is worthy of a second yellow in my opinion. I'd like to think refs would be able to apply a bit of common sense and recognise when someone is feigning injury. All the diving, rolling around, play acting, trying to get players sent off etc does my head in.Easily a second yellow which is what it was.
I mean, he kicked him right in the dick.I dont necessarily disagree that most refs these days would see that as a booking. I just wish that wasn't what had become of the game.

His shin tickled the underside of his sack. If I was Emerson I'd have run over and booted him good and proper in the gonads while he was rolling around. Full pelt. No messing about. Kapow!I mean, he kicked him right in the dick.
Totally unintentionally, but only because he had no awareness of what was around him and flung a leg out wildly.
That's a yellow all day long.
Honestly, a shin to the sack is one of the few cases where I can't blame the player for rolling around!His shin tickled the underside of his sack. If I was Emerson I'd have run over and booted him good and proper in the gonads while he was rolling around. Full pelt. No messing about. Kapow!
There was nothing malicious about the challenge, but it was careless and reckless because Emerson did not know what was around him.
Hardly a kick in the balls. And certainly not as bad a kick in the balls as paying £28.5m for this fucking joke who weeks before was €9m….
But another take away from that footage.
The washed up, busted, not wanted, not good enough for Spurs, Philippe Coutinho is playing #10 for Brazil.
Might as well have a demented clown running our recruitment - oh we do - hi Steve
Playing for Brazil means next to nothing these days. Fred is a Brazil regular, guys like Telles, Sandro and a geriatric Alves get call ups. Shit, Emerson got one and I actually think he’s a worse wing back than Doherty.
