Do you reckon that was showboating? I thought he just kind of bottled it - either way it didn't matter in the end and there was the right result. Anyway, I thought you were going to be sulking and watching The Apprentice...
That didn't quite work out as planned and I got to the pub for the last 25 mins + extra time, during which I managed to get slightly pissed which parly explains whyI was even more potty-mouthed than usual. Partly.
(why do commentators always say that a sending off spoils the game? I love a good sending off to get things going).
Me and my mate (a Finnish fan of ice hockey, which may explain it) were just agreeing that there's not enough violence in football these days - not the leg-breaking, career-ending kind, but when you can get sent off for little more than a provocative slap on the cheek, the authorities' think-of-the-children protectiveness is way out of control.
