A strong challenge from Joe to disposed the ball from an opponent. Only a small sample size but, to me, he plays better on the right side.
True. It was the reaction for which he got the 2nd yellow. But players do that ALL the time. The ref overreacted and destroyed the game. He literally got the card for swinging his arm. That is nonsense.
I suppose I'm giving him too much credit because of how fast he has improved his game just this season.
Not even close. The foul was not hard. And the referee was quite demonstrative as to the reason he gave the card. He mimicked the arm motion that Dahoud made at him at least a half dozen times. This was not about Scally. It was the ref getting his feelings hurt.
The announcer said the ref put himself in the position of being a wild yellow card giver by how he started the game by giving soft yellow cards. I tend to agree, now he has to continue.
