European midweek games.

I thought there was minimal contact at best & the Dnipro bloke didn't move his head much at all- think the ref was conned

Yep. He barged into him (trying to get a reaction - they'd had a spat earlier) and then walked directly into him with head down before clutching his face.
 
No doubt the press will be telling us what a motivational & tactical genius Tim Sherwood is after that.

The head butt. There was contact and he definitely butted him. That's a red. The spurs player did have a delayed reaction though! but that's a red card regardless of the reaction.

Made a meal out of it, but its a definite red.

Vertongen walked into him & the Dinpro guy kinda drops his head like he wax nodding, connects Vertongen, who pushes him away and goes down like a sack of shit.

If Vertongen doesn't go down there's no red.

Vertongen acted like a cunt.
 
Football has turned into a game for pansy's. So what if he lightly butted him, that should be a yellow at best.

The rules state that violent conduct is a red card. So the ref has to send him off if he has head butted him. The Dnipro player made the decision for him.

I disagree. The Dnipro player butted him. Regardless of whether Vertonghen goes down, if the ref sees the head butt or even the attempted head butt, he has to send him off as per the rules.

Also Soldado should have gone for his blatant and pre-meditated elbow.

Yeah I know it was the right decision according to the rules. Just saying that personally I think that something like that shouldn't be a sending off offence.
 
I hadn't seen the incident before. It's pretty clear to me that Vertonghen butted the other guy and then fell down.
 
The more times I look at it the more wrong I think it is tbh. Looks like Vertonghen barges into him with his shoulder first, the Dnipro player lower his head from the impact thats coming and hits Vertonghen who goes to ground like he's been shot.
Can understand why the Dnipro player wanted to tear him a new one after that.

Vertonghen is a dirty cunt.
