What Rice did was a yellow card offence. He dived and rolled around like a big old baby to try and get Velts sent off. But you can’t dabble with the dark arts if you are not a master.
Veltman is a master. The incident made me laugh very hard for a good period of time. I loved it and so did all the northerners in the pub I was watching the match in.
That said, if I were a ref, I’d not have followed the letter of the law. I’d have gone up to Rice, laughing, and told him that he got what he deserved and the next time he kicks the ball away, he’ll get a yellow.
