Q2- Quite possibly they will look corrupt, especially if they're seen as harsh and the same standards are not applied to both teams
Look at the Arsenal away game. Yaya tugs a shirt and is QUITE RIGHTLY shown a yellow, even though it was his first offense
Arsenal player commits a professional foul on Yaya (which put him out of the game as well) and the player is not even spoken to
Early soft yellows and our players are walking tightropes.
As I said, if our strikers are on fire and we can get three or more goals there won't be a problem, because the refs bias decisions in an attempt to stop us from playing won't matter
If it's a scrappy game we'll be in trouble
yaya vs arsenal
his yellow, as you say, was correct, his shirt pull was an intentional attempt to impede an apponent, one which, no matter where on the pitch, should always incur a yellow
songs tackle was an accidental, careless trip, he went for the ball and missed it, not, in my opinion worthy of a yellow card
So let me get this straight, if you try to get the ball, but put your stoods through someone's knee, then that's ok?
it was knee on knee not studs on knee - songs tackle
balo on song was easily a red imo
