Mate. First of all I am delighted we won, as we all are. I am simply saying Vinnie got away with one (and I'm delighted at that too) - forget the other tackles whether they were worthy of red or not. I have just looked at it again on Utube to see whether my eyes were deceiving me as some were saying it wasn't even a foul. He leaps off the floor and goes in studs showing. Now, I don't for one moment believe he made much contact (if any) with Salah who again proved his ability to mock injury, but the rules of the law could have quite gone against Vinnie last night.
The acid test would be, what would BMs reaction be had that have been VVD on Kun ?
I agree with you. In my day, it was a great tackle but now, even though eradicating such great tackles diminishes the game in my view, I'd be complaining like fuck if one of theirs did that to one of ours.
Mind you, Rojo used to get away with those every week last season so fair play to Taylor for his excellent judgement on this occasion.
