I'm sorry but it's no excuse to fall to the floor clutching your face for that. The defender is cheating. Yalcouye is stupid to do it, yes - as ref's give reds. Cheating has won.
Sheehan needs to change things - his selection hasn’t really worked all evening, even before the red card. We need Galbraith in midfield, so Key will have to come, and at the same time I’d also bring on Widell - Stamenic and Inoussa to come off. Later on I’d introduce Ronald and Vipotnik for Eom and Idah.
Instead of a blanket rule that one player's face touched another, so it's a red - have some common sense. If he's gone down like that then it must have been a forceful headbutt, so review it later and if it's not then ban the player who's dived for three games. It'll soon stop. The beautiful game my arse. Almost (100%?) every single player cheats and feigns injury, it's pathetic.
Not good enough with 11 players, at home. Not good enough to go for it with 10 minutes left with 10 men. Very disappointing.
We've been the better team tonight. You would never think we were down to 10 men. Disappointed to not get anything out of it.
It obviously wasn’t for nothing. We’ve all had a drink. We should have put it to bed with the chances in the second half but I thought the game plan from Sheehan to keep it tight and have a go in the last 20 minutes was the right one. I know Idah has been a bit underwhelming but thought he showed what he’s about and we struggled with him throughout the half when he wasn’t getting a lot of help. Seen enough of him the last few years to think he’ll come good at this level.
