Equaliser in an international. Starts to remove shirt realises that’s a booking so stops but gets sent off anyway. Looks wrong to me this one https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/62774636
Saw it the other day. Was a bit surprised, but is there that much difference between taking it off, and just scrunching it around her throat/neck? I don't think so, not sure. It does seem harsh because you can tell it's just sheer reaction, and it takes her a second to realise and pulls it straight back down, it's not like Chloe Kelly's one for us when we won the Euros
Looks like Luxembourg employ someone to stop the team doing something absolutely mental if they score. Unfortunately he fails on this occasion. He does manage to stop the goalscorer actually getting her kit off with a bit of finger waving, but while he's preoccupied with that, one of the subs surges onto the field to take the goalscorer out at waist height and follows that up with a double knee drop right into her face. He does at least manage to get between the subs and the first 11 before there's a full on brawl. Surprised the ref only booked one of the lunatics.
To be fair. How many times do Luxembourg have the opportunity to flash a sports bra.? Not many. Refs should learn to exercise a certain discretion..
Luxembourg employing someone to calm the players down after a goal celebration is the same as me sending someone 2 miles down the road to hand me a drink when I'm out running.
I find it amazing that taking your shirt off when celebrating has become such a natural part of the process that players have to be reminded not to do it - even worse that they still do, earning themselves bookings and ultimately suspensions which mean they can't play for their club. Also mental knee slides - as a club paying a players wages I'd be telling them not to do this, especially as half of them go arse-over-tit anyway and create unnecessary stress on their joints. Save your energy for open play.
You never know, the women's team might be competitive. But to do an analogy similar to yours (which made me laugh): like me employing a personal assistant to run my social diary.
I think the yellow was for the tackle on her team mate just after the goal rather than her taking her top off
That's a fair point actually. I did make my assumption purely on the fact that the men's team is absolutely useless. The ladies may be an footballing powerhouse who only missed out on a place in the Euros due to an appalling refereeing error in the qualifiers. I genuinely have no idea.
