Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... :emoticon-0107-sweat

He aimed a headbutt at one of the Cardiff players, and got a red. Then when leaving the field, he apparently tried to headbutt the linesman as well! :emoticon-0104-surpr
 
Well, Rocha has a cut on his cheek. Apparently he did aim his head towards Boothrood, but he claims Boothroyd did the same to him, and that he should also have been sent off :/
 
I was listening to the match on BBC Radio Cardiff (or whoever) and despite their being biased, of course, they seemed sure that there was 2 sides to that story and that Rocha saw red because he moved toward Bothroyd - this was after they both tangled (did they both hit the deck?) Anyway Ricardo was very, very angry and Cotts had to get him off the field.

I think he feels an injustice was done there. Will be interesting to see the highlights.
 
Pompey now have 6 red cards this season. Puts us in 2nd place in the list of offenders. Think it will be difficult to match Sheffield's total of 12, but with a little effort, who knows !!
 
Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear !!

Rocha is a good player, BUT he does seem to have a short fuse at times.

By the way, as he is under 6 foot tall, how on earth can he be accused of head butting Bothroyd who I believe stands 6 foot 3 inches tall ?!
