The thing I don't get is right, Billy Sharp lost his son and didn't get booked cos he celebrated in his honour (and rightly so) but Aguero got booked for scoring one the most important goals in our history.
I'm not saying that the circumstances are the same cos God only knows how Billy Sharp felt after that but from a pure emotion point of view, they're pretty similar, albeit for very different reasons.
What would have happened if he was already on a yellow card? Surely he wouldn't have sent him off.
I just wish there was a bit of common sense at times
In that case the referee would probably have been lynched (and even the ref bosses wouldn't admonish an official for that) if there's ever an exception to the rule that was it.
Picture a scenario where a player has picked up enough bookings to get a suspension. Maybe one of the bookings was for doing the shirt celebration. This suspension coincides with a clubs biggest game of the season. Legally they could have a case to point out inconsistencies (had Aguero not been booked) and appeal against the celebration booking. Would a club do that? Probably not but there has to be consistency to avoid scenarios like that.
