[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 677109, member: 40658"] The photo is above is to illustrate the positioning of Messam. He's way too straight to attempt to hit Schalk "legally", even with Schalk falling. I'm with you and that moron Veitchy on Sport with regards to the dangerous precedent this has created. But the fact remains the same. The players should take responsibility for their actions on the field. With the technology becoming better and better, and stadium getting more and more cameras at games, every player is under a microscope throughout the whole game. it saddens me that once again a referee decision is the only talking point after the game. Even though he made the right decision. The TMO first showed Barnes the slow-mo version and then when Barnes asked him to show it at real time, the TMO obliged. My understanding was that Barnes would have given Messam a card, based only on the slow-mo version, but the real time version, was the same as how Barnes saw it when it happened and then mitigated the situation. Stay on topic!!!! [/QUOTE]
