00:00Should you add a penalty right at the end there?
00:02Yeah, it's a penalty for me and I don't think I'm...
00:05I'm being biased in my understanding of it that
00:11Marcus Edwards has touched the ball first
00:13and then he's touched it onto the player
00:15who's slid on the ground onto that player.
00:18So the ref has said to me that the defender got the ball.
00:21He didn't get the ball.
00:22The tackle is...
00:24If the defender's running with the ball and I want to tackle him
00:27I have to get contact with the ball first.
00:29If I touch the ball first, then I get that's a good tackle.
00:33In this case, Marcus has touched it
00:36and he's hit the other player and then wiped him out.
00:39Penalty. That's how I just see it.
00:42What do you say to the ref?
00:43Did you get booked? I saw quite a few bookings come out.
00:45I got booked for my reaction after the penalty
00:49and maybe my emotion there just went boiled over.
00:53I mean, I'm not sure it was a booking,
00:56but it was probably the way the game was going at that moment.
00:58He decided to book me.
00:59Are you getting in trouble?
01:00Do you think the referee's struggled to control the game today a little bit?
01:03A little bit.
01:05I thought the game...
01:06It was a tough game and a tough game to officiate.
01:10I get that. A lot of incidents went on.
01:12We've just gone through a couple of them
01:14and I thought the game at certain moments did turn a little bit like that.
01:17It turned a bit ugly.
01:18So I get that it may have been difficult at times.
01:21But overall, it wasn't worse.
