Sanchez yellow card was laughably soft. He touched Ayew's shoulder and he went down like he'd been shot. The second one deserved a card IMO but maybe Madley had the first yellow in mind when he let it go.
One of those incidents which would never have been given if it was in the box, and we wouldn't be talking about how Sanchez perhaps should have got a second yellow. I mean, how many times a game do you see defenders doing that during corners?Sanchez yellow card was laughably soft. He touched Ayew's shoulder and he went down like he'd been shot.

I thought the second foul was largely due to the shitty pitch and conditions. He went for the ball where it should have rolled to but it stopped on the surface and he took the players shins out instead...
a sending off would have been very harsh.

I actually don't think Madley had a bad game personally. Unlike some I didn't see either Son or Dele's penalty claims as a penalty. He got a few minor decisions wrong, but on the whole was good in difficult circumstances.
generally agree but the Dele push was a pen....put him off and probably prevented a goal to be honest
Yeah, U.S. Coverage was awful. David Prutton was furious Sanchez was not sent off, despite the first yellow being a joke. Kept on whining about the offside too, but hardly mentioned the Lorente one on one that should have been onside or the two penalty shouts.First yellow is clearly a case of the two simply crossing paths and Sanchez puts his hands on Ayew to avoid losing his own balance.
He certainly didn't haul him down or do anything in a manner where there was intent. Was a ridiculous booking.
I watched US coverage and the commentary team were repeatedly saying Ayew should have gone down under Hugo's challenge. There was less contact than the challenges on Alli and Son, and he would have ended up with a 3 game ban.

NBC seems to have hit a new low. I can't stand Tony Gale either. A few weeks ago he accused Verts of being a thug and a cheat and is very biased against us. The best commentator they have is Lee Dixon! Despite starting ever sentence with 'back in my day....'

Tony Gale is a twat. That Spammer's always had a huge chip on his shoulder about Spurs
