Ah yes Phil 'the Saint' Bardsley, who looked like he was trying to break Colo's leg. Let's just say there were a few heavy challenges going in from both sides (mostly from the mackems though). These things happen in derbies
If we take the Cabaye's tackle as the standard for a yellow then Bardsley was right to get 2 and Twattermole should of had 2. If we had a proper ref you'd have been down to 8. There is no excuse.
Yeah Cabaye's was a deserved yellow. You see them all the time. Late in after a clearance, yellow card. Fair enough. Bardsley could have broken Colo's leg. Indefensible.
cabaye's was a late mis-timed tackle and a deserved a booking, the mackem ones were done with intent because they had nothing in the locker or talent to do us football wise
Still amazes me that Barton gets slapped and stamped on and is called a thug, yet Cattermole goes out every week sliding around like a ****ing nutter and gets nowt.
