red card opinion thomas?
Was richards ever that great?
Although it was undoubtedly stupid and unnecessary, I didn't actually see any contact between the two that warranted a red card. Yes, they squared up to each other, and yes, they put their heads together, but I don't think either lashed out in order to deserve a red.
Also, one thing I noticed about their goal, which may be rubbish but might be interesting, is that before their player hit the shot Richards ran back towards our own goal. I'd have to see it again, but I got the impression that he totally blocked Michel's view of it. Ok, it was a fantastic strike, and it probably couldn't have been saved anyway, but I did wonder what the hell Richards was playing at.
Also, to all those who say Richards wasn't great today, well, perhaps it wasn't his most magnificent game, but he was in a different class to ANYONE we've forced into playing at left-back recently. Just be thankful he's here.
That's another great point... WHY THE f*** DO WE DO THAT THING WHERE RICHARDS RUNS BACK TO THE GOAL LINE?! THERE ARE NO ADVANTAGES TO IT, ALL HE DID WAS OBSTRUCT KUIPERS' VIEW!
