+x+xWatched the replay of O'Shea's yellow and Genreau is a dirty diving prick.
He ducked under O'Shea's arm and hit his face against O'Shea's arm on purpose then fell to the ground 'in pain'. Same as the tackle on Rufer where he studded him then pretended to be hurt.
Outright cheat and worst sort of cheating at that. Causes other players to get cards when he is at fault which is the very description of simulation and exaggeration.
I don't see Genreau deliberately hitting his face against O'Shea's arm or diving. He was trying to move to the front position and got caught with O'Shea's arm in the way. I don't see it as a card. Depending on where the ref was looking from it may have looked worse but it was one of those incidents that could have been let go without any action in my view.
Agreed pretty much on that foul, though I wondered why O'Shea left his right arm out dragging over Genreau's upper body eventually over his face, I agree about the play acting as well BUT thats todays professional fouls that are getting OTT, wish the refs would act more on these over actors for its becoming a shit show.
I'd say the ref looked at it as a disruptive action whilst WU being in attack motion.
Hollman is a fine up and comer and skills showed them up big time, yes the in experience showed not going down for a pen BUT isn't great seeing the exuberance of youth instictively looking to play on and look what it delivered, rippa build up and finish.
That play from their mid half cutting through 3-4 players was great pity his pass wasn't as good in the end but thats what he's got to learn yet.
I really expected a BR home win as I mentioned earlier BUT WU's shape in defense was smothering also helped by BR lack of decent shots away from class Federici, he's a class keeper even by how he punts the ball with that side body angle, love that style.
He will keep them competitve as long as they don't get many defense injuries to main players.
Derbyshire's read for his clutch goal was very well taken first time.
Stats are puzzling to a degree, watching it it looked BR had a bucket load of possesion yet I see BR 43% to WU's 57%.
BR 415 pass's to WU's 574.
