Razov is an A $ $. "We've got to play as if it's our last game."-Dema on the next game. Truer words have never been spoken (although that attitude could have been used in the last game). Thanks for the links Knave.
In the quote he may be right, but if you had seen the game in person you would know what I am talking about. He blatantly was baiting Dema all over the field. He would give him a shove or push away from the play (and of course the referee). I found it disgusting that he pushed and shoved him for quite a bit, before the linesman saw Dema's retaliation. Dema was given the yellow. That same linesman also ignored a blatant foul on Quaranta during that runup. Let me also mention that Razov is a good foot taller than Dema, so the intimidation factor was certainly there. I was kind of disgusted that our bigger defenders did not stand up for him a few times.
I am honored that such a highly respected poster took the time to answer my post in it's entirety. Here is my reply. Hristo does not intimidate anyone. He wishes he could. Who exactly were they baiting? They might have been whining to the ref, but that is about it. You fit right in with the hip crowd! I stand corrected. He is considerably taller and bigger than Dema. Not too sure about that. And I stand corrected again Exactly. The series is not over yet. Cheers!
