What a silly thread.
He got booked because he pulled a player back - the ref gestured that Johnson was heading towards goal that's why he booked him.
Then he led with his arm at neck height - he'd have gone down like a ton of bricks had it been the other way round.
Two stupid avoidable bookings from Mario - doubt they'll be his last either - but that's him I'm afraid.
Why did the ref book Carroll for the foul on Kompany - his first foul and not a particularly nasty one just uneccessary and pretty stupid considering where he did it - is the ref Geordie-ist?
Ok, I agree with you on the 1st booking. The second booking was harsh and unecessary. Maybe the ref was fooled by Skirtel on the second but up to that point he had avoided handing out 2nd bookings but with Mario there was no problem with handing one out.
I'm not having it that it's a silly thread. I said what was on my mind. Even if I am wrong other people have thought the same thing and it's better having it out than not.
