I'm probably in the minority here but was yesterday's tussles between Haarland and Gabriel really what football is all about?
Torn shirts, wrestling, headbutts?

I think ref let a lot go throughout the game.

Both players grabbing each other. all a bit silly. I think If I was Harland I would play more for fouls, with the eventual 'yellow for shirt pull' than 'fighting back'. I think don't think was really a head butt.. if it was it was then it was the worst head butt ever.

It was a head rub - not a head butt.

Definitely not a red card - although credit to Haaland for not acting as if poleaxed, as most current players would have.
