Hence why Bmouth are nose-diving towards the bottom three. 1-2, 0-2, 3-6, 0-2, 2-2, 1-3, 3-3, 3-0, 0-3, 1-3, 1-0, 2-3, 4-3, 1-3 Since beating Stoke in mid November, only twice have Bmouth not conceded at least two goals. They cannot defend to save their lives. But scoring, they broadly can do. (But maybe not with Afobe as their main man)
Phew. Official must have had a word with him to remind him. Absolutely nightmare for Friend, given that he's also kept Zlatan on, and not booked Boruc either.
They should both be sent off for that.no doubt about it. The ref did not have any idea what was going on .....
Two weekends in a row that video assistance would have easily given the correct decision, against Utd.
Poor Surman....what he said may have warranted sending off, but all stems from nasty play from other players not properly dealt with by the ref.
Mings stamped on Ibrahimovic's head, then the latter elbowed him after already having a yellow card. Both should probably have been sent off. If the ref didn't see Ming's action, there will be further action against him. Surman got a second yellow for mouthing off.
Mings stamped on Zlatan's head. Missed by officials. Zlatan elbowed Mings. No card (already on a yellow). Surman booked for complaining/pushing Zlatan (already on a yellow). No red. About 90 seconds later, Surman gets the red. And I don't mean a little elbow. A proper swing in the face.
BBC saying Zlatan pushed mings to the floor , later Zlatan and mings collided again & both should have been sent off , surman complained to the ref about it , got a second yellow but was not sent off Rooney pointed out to the ref that it was his second yellow , then the ref sent surman off .
Speaking of rule changes, the FA should be more subjective about how long a ban should be for red cards. Mings, 6+.
