Aye it’s disgraceful by the ref, honestly though overall the ref was fucking dire. Zaha should have been sent off for two bookable offences going off how easy he handed cards out to our lot.
The thing that got me with the Cabaye challenge is what is the argument for not sending him off? He went in with two feet, lunged off the ground, scissored his legs, and went through the back. He had zero chance whatsoever of getting the ball and couldn’t have possibly intended too, it also doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to notice the connection between them not getting a pen for what they saw as a Yedlin foul of Zaha and Yedlin almost losing his leg 20 seconds later.
I’m also fucking sick of hearing “he’s not that type of player” first of all we all know Cabaye is a sly cunt, he’s as bad as Shelvey it’s just he’s smarter about it. Ignoring that though, it’s got fuck all to do with anything, he did do it, he flew in wildly, high, and recklessly with no control over the challenge and could have ended a lads season regardless of if it’s out of character in that moment he did do it.
