But based on what? That someone's on the floor and he didn't see why?

If so, that's a dumb system which won't prevent playacting, even if that's not the main intention; although it could be used to solve it if they thought it through properly.

Mate, I'll leave you to your agenda <ok>

What is wrong with football nowadays that people are justifying play acting to get an opposition player sent off to get any advantage. Even pundits in the studio that wouldn't have done that are justifying the red. Violent conduct? Hardly fecking violent, he just did it rough up Hendo. The game is friggin boring, at least this is making it remotely interesting.

The pussyfication of football.

Violent play is a red card. Colombia are clear trying to rough up England. And that includes their coaches. One of them barged Sterling on the way to the dressing room. This is not the pussification of football, it is more referees being pussies in not doing the right thing.

Henderson was headbutted and went down. He was rolling around screaming but as a minimum he prevented play from continuing until at least he was ready.

Name's not astro. I have no agenda.

I'm not saying it wasn't a red.
I'm questioning Hendo's huge over reaction holding his face when there was no force to it, it was all on his chest.
I'm also saying that I think it's daft that a player has to be on the floor pretending to be in pain to convince the ref that it warrants a replay on the VAR.

What part of that is an agenda?

Saying violent play is a stretch. There wasn't a mark on Hendo. What the Colombian did was silly but you can see from the reply that Hendo was trying his best to send him off. In my opinion, that is wrong and sends a wrong message out to youngsters coming through the sport.

to be honest I'm well disappointed with Colombia. I thought they would bring there clever, fast attacking game but all we've got is the usual South American bullshit of ******ly fouls and cheating.

I thought they'd be better than this...

Same here Colombia have been negative in this game, scared of England's fast players. It's made for a boring game.

They’re missing James to be fair. We’re missing him too <ok>
