00:00I was amazed. Amazed, amazed, amazed because how inconsistent decisions can be. In the
00:08first half, there are two incidents, nothing happens. And then in a non-critical area,
00:15the ball hits Declan Hill. He turns around, he doesn't see the player coming, he touches
00:19the ball. By law, he can make that goal. But by law then he needs to make the next goal,
00:25which is a red card. So we play 10 against 10. So this is what amazes me. At this level,
00:31it's honestly amazing.
00:33What did he say?
00:37Obviously we had a reaction that it was a back-to-goal, it's not in the middle of the
00:41part that they're trying to counter or anything. Anyway, I repeat myself. By law, you want
00:46to do it, you didn't do it in the first half, do it. But then you have to play 10 against
00:5010. That's it. Very simple.
