We have to learn to be cuter in Eurooe
By cuter I mean NOT giving referees ANY chance of issuing yellow cards for silly reasons
I realise it's a contact sport but Bayo with 2 yellows in 5 minutes last night was crazy
The 1st one was marginal but understandable but the 2nd one was ridiculous He didn't really touch the keeper but he gave the referee a decision to make by challenging for the ball when the custodian was lying on the ground with the ball in his possession and the theatricals of the French players were both convincing and cute
We ARE a good and capable side and their penalty apart I think that Forster was rarely troubled all evenjng
I love Big Ajer to bits but he has to learn to stay on his feet when tackling in the penalty box
I know he's young and playing in defensive positions which are relatively new to him but his decisiin making needs to be better at times He's cost us penalties against Hertz and now Rennes for similar actions as well as getting himself red carded against St Johnstone for bringing a player down in a last ditch attempted tackle
Simulation by going to ground has become part of today's game but Edouard last night at least didn't cover himself in glory and probably made up the ref's mind not to award Christie a spot kick when he was grounded in the box just before Forrest won his pen
Rennes are a good and capable side Occupying 2nd spot in Ligue 1 they must be but they were there for the taking last night
A 1-1 draw away from home was a decent result but it could and probably should have been a lot more
