You are spot on. He put his foot on the ball and the pace of the ball caused his foot to roll off. And to me it looked like his for barely even touched Porro’s for after that. No malice in it. And as several pundits were saying, players do that all the time with no consequence.

And yes, Porro not only played the rest of the match, but they were using him as basically an extra striker at the end. He was clearly not injured in any way. That was a yellow at best. I would have given him a yellow fit grabbing their keeper’s shirt more than for that incident with the ball. But again, that was very trivial, and players get into little scuffles like that all the time with no cards given. So even that was stretching it. And by definition the same applies for their keeper.

I think it was either Romero or Bentancour who Big Gabi pushed before our goal. But that was also a great example of the spuds looking for a non-existent foul. There was no malice or real force in that push either. It was just one player pushing off another to make some space. Happens all the time. That spuds’ player’s attempt to whine for a foul for that was pathetic.

The shit’s frequent tenancy to bottle it is now legendary. Yet we are the ones thought of by some as being soft. I guess it’s takes time for reality to catch up with reputations.
