Dumbest second yellow in EPL history? Take a bow, Paqueta! Just made liz truss look sane!
No plaudits for Bowen or his teammates who didn't do nearly enough to take him away from the referee. FWIW, I would have dished the YC about 15 seconds earlier. Referee bent over backwards to keep him on.
Maybe his teammates struggle with him too. They def did little to restrain him
 
I've just watched Atletico Baleares, of the fourth tier, beat La Liga side, Espanyol, in the Spanish Cup.

The commentator was clearly English with a fairly nondescript English accent. His Spanish pronunciation of the players names was fine (I won't go on about the fact that the match was between two sides where the native language is Catalan). This was until Tyrhys Dolan came on. Then the commentator explained, in a broad Lancastrian accent, that Dolan had come to Espanyol from Blackburn. He then reverted to his nondescript accent.

The contrast amused me.
