What did you see? Tactical foul by the Celtic defender against DRO (approx 41st minute)...Should have been his second yellow.

Ha, forgot it was even on.

Hey found it's still on. I'd be shocked if you saw a send off in an exhibition game.

Understand, however, it appears that Celtic is taking it more seriously than a friendly (taunting Johnson after his saved PK). Friendlies are also a lousy place to pick up an injury.

To me that was a case where the second caution and send-off really doesn't buy you anything in terms of match control. They were already down 2-0 and overall the game was pretty clean so given that and the fact that it was a friendly, no reason to send the player off. Now had that been a WC Semifinal or if things had been overly physical then maybe it would have been time to make a point. Notice there wasn't much disagreement from the MLS players.
