Federico Valverde should get a statue outside the Bernabeu for this. Possibly the greatest professional foul the game has ever seen pic.twitter.com/lrraoLQA6n
Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me.
Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing.
Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial.
Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid.
Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.
edit. Different reaction from the players back then who just accepted it and got on with it.

notice how Valverde hangs around for long enough to try and incite Athletico players to get themselves sent off as well. dark arts of the highest level/

resulted in a change to the laws IIRC - was a red thereafter
Yet Hansen got away with a tackle like that on Mark Brennan at Portman Road [North Stand end] mid-80s, can't even recall him getting booked. But back then Liverpool players were untouchable.
It's a sensationally brilliant & equally outrageous piece of sh1thousery.
I'd be livid if it was Town on the receiving end though. Livid.

Funny when it was Gary Breen doing it to Norwich at Carrow Road in 2007 though.
Seem to remember Warky getting sent off at their place for something very similar..?
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

A slightly different take on a professional foul
Schumacher knocked Battiston out and didnt even get booked.
Should have got ABH. Right up there with Keane's stamp on Haaland - I genuinely believe that players who deliberately injure other players should face criminal charges.

Keane's stamp was nasty - but Schumaker's was borderline attempted murder!

That was mental. Shi1thousery of the highest order.
For one, the challenge never made any difference as Battison had already played the ball - was sheer thuggery.
He ended up in a coma ffs
Shumacher never even got booked
Germans went on to win on pens
Schumacher never seemed to show any remorse for the bloke he nearly killed.
Can't think of a worse incident of violence and/or unfairness on a footie pitch.
Although I think Battiston's aim might have been off because he had 6 ft 1 Harald Schumacher hurtling towards him with elbows poised to strike. So in that sense the challenge might have made a difference.
