In reply to: Second caution for Haaland why? posted by wcnitz

It's not rocket science. He's made zero attempt on the ball and pulled down a player in the box in order to obtain an unfair result on the play. Advocates for it being the "correct call" to chalk off the goal and give the DOGSO point to the fact that you simply cannot ignore Haaland's blatant foul in the box. Well, then it's a blatant shirt pull. Nothing soccer about it. You pull a player down from behind by the shirt anywhere else on the pitch you're going to see yellow. It just so happens that it's also magnified because it was an attempt to save a game sealing goal.

- I didn't say every shirt pull was yellow. - NDMike2001 2026-02-09 14:02:24
But it was after Szloboszlai's foul - ndroman21 2026-02-09 12:40:02
