I don't know what's so hard to understand... Matic got what he deserved in the sense that you can't do what he did... No exceptions.

Now, I don't think many or any one blames him for how he reacted... I certainly don't...



Yeah, totally agree.

It happens a lot more often than the outcry over this incident suggests that a player gets a red for hot headed moment that was completely understandable and provoked.

I could wall paper my living room in the red cards Roma has gotten over the years for very similar things.

An, like (our) Joey Barton says above. The league really seems to have no interest in policing these kind of fouls more closely because it would not only seem weak and "continental" but also would reduce the wild pace of EPL that's kind of its marketing draw.

I agree but a three game ban for what Matic did is the definition of soft.
