Isn’t that dangerous play? What did the ref do?
Max: Interesting question. I hadn’t really considered that aspect. I reckon I was distracted by the brutality of it all.
I only wonder who made the more dangerous play, John Terry putting his head in the area of a boot or Diaby putting his boot in the area of a head.
I had the same thought when I first saw the clip, figuring that as odd as it might seem, any dangerous play call might go against the guy sticking his head into the fray.
