true but IMO reina was stupid for doing it he know's if you raise your hands into a players face like that you are going to get sent off. Robben didn't help him by going down like he got shot. But IMO there was nothing else the ref could do but send him off.
Originally posted by T.MYep, the ref was right in giving Reina a yellow for the challenge and a second yellow for raising hands to an opposition players face, but Robben should have been booked for over-acting or bring the game into disrepute, it's a contact sport, or at least it used to be, lets make the players behave like men, not kids.

That pretty much summed up the state of football nowadays, too many sissy boy cheats playing. Not a great example to kids on how to play the game.
What do you guys (especially Spurs fans) think about the Danny Murphy signing?
A great signing for Spurs IMO.

He didn't get 2 yellows he got a straight red.

OK, I stand corrected, well actually I am sitting, but I will be standing soon when I go to the toilet.Still can't raise your hands as it's a sending off offence (but how can a keeper catch a high cross without raising his hands? 😕)
I still think Robben's play acting warrants something too.
Same thing as and plyer jumping for the ball your arms are going to go up.
but I think it was him holding Robben by the neck that did it
