SOL BAMBA SCORES THE WINNER TODAY


BBC

Saturday 10th November 2018


Here's a tip - never play Sol Bamba at poker. He's an excellent bluffer.

After scoring Cardiff City's 90th-minute winner in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Brighton, the defender sprinted away and, pretty much immediately, tore off his shirt in celebration.

As we know, by the laws of the game, a player removing their shirt should receive a punishment of a yellow card, just like Demarai Gray did for Leicester last week.

So how did wily Bamba escape such a reprimand?

"The ref asked if I took my shirt off and I said 'no'," said Bamba after the game. Simple.

It's odd that Martin Atkinson and his team of officials didn't spot the Frenchman stripping off because:

1. He definitely took the shirt off (there's pictures and everything).

2. He ran directly towards the referee's assistant, half naked.

3. He definitely took it off (yes, we've said that twice but it's such an important one it needed to be repeated).

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock seemed bemused.

"I don't think Martin [Atkinson] will have done that on purpose, if he didn't see it that is what linesmen are for isn't it?" he said.

"I did mention to the referee when he warned us before the game about taking your shirt off that I hoped three of my lads got booked for taking off their shirts today, because we don't score too many goals, do we?"

True, Cardiff have just 11 Premier League goals this term.

No complaints here either his passion for the shirt is admirable,plus he messed up for their goal So must have felt sooooooo good to score the winner

In all fairness the ref should have a yellow card

Sol d'love the f*kg City!!

He did give a bit of a crazy legs performance today mind.

A fine body on a man and a hero today. Who cares if he took his shirt off?

Te FA will look in to why he was not booked. It was a good win.

I think these booking players for taking their shirts off is ridiculous. The game is about entertainment so let them entertain.

Perhaps the crowd should take their shirts off, when we score, instead. Now that would make an interesting and unique celebration for the TV

Blame Brighton players they kept whinging to him about goal even as kicked off!! City players took so long to get back to middle bet ref forgot about it?

Genius idea. I apologise in advance to any fan seeing my large gut.

Think they can only look at red card issues.

Watching the replay you can see Bobby Reid whacking Sol in the head with his own shirt a few times lol

He epitomises the spirit of the team this season. Love it

No they won’t.
