Ha ha ha. What a twat Townsend is on itv.
"Yes his foot is high, yes it is dangerous play but that's no reason to send him off"
That was after going on a rant about having rules about dangerous play but that sometimes you needn't bother applying them - priceless.
I have never bought into the media bias for the rags before, but tonight has really opened my eyes. The defence of the indefensible has been truly staggering. No one has dared mention the Vinnie sending off as that would show how blinkered they all are - as the gif shows Nanny had both feet off the ground, was not in control of himself and could have injured an opponent. What other choice did the ref possibly have?
