That referee last night was a joke, he is the epitome of UEFA,FIFA turning the game into a non contact sport, any challenge he deemed dangerous he blew up,
Even the slightest of touches and he blew, i remember one in particular in the 1st half Bobby won the ball fair and square but that f***in ref called foul,
He has to be the worse ref i have seen for yrs, it was ridiculous and sadly there are more like him, we're a long way off yet but it's the beginning of the end of tackling in the game we all love as we know it.
I thought Virgil's tackle was brilliant, ok he caught the fella in the follow through but there was no intention to harm, now had that Fuckstick of a ref had ever played the game he would have recognised that as a bona fide tackle and not booked Virgil, but no, he played it from the refs handbook and deemed it a bad tackle and therefore dangerous, without a seconds thought to common sense, exactly how UEFA want to control the game, neither referees nor UEFA officials have never played football professionally so the don't fully understand/ appreciate the art of tackling, and that sadly is part of the problem and always has been.
