Franco and Riza

Obviously, we all seen what happened at the end.

The reaction was very, very excessive from Riza.
Does anyone know or think he said something to Riza, in order for him to react like that?
I mean, Riza looked like he wanted to absolutely kill him!

With everything that’s gone in the last 48 hours, I just can’t help but think Franco said something about his Dad.

Hopefully not & Riza just let his emotions from the death of his father boil over.

Hopefully nothing was said, I'm hoping it was just the circumstances through the past few days and the emotions got to Riza.

However, I'm confused how Riza and Bulut down there, both got sent off, when all 22 players on the pitch were involved in similar scuffles doing more pushing, pulling and shoving than Riza and Bulut did.

Clearly, Franco went charging into Riza, if he went charging into an outfield player like that, he would be booked. If Riza was an outfield player reacting like that, he would also get booked.

So why are there different rules for our managers?

The reason he was sent off was he encroached onto the pitch.

That makes sense. I'm gutted he wasn't able to celebrate on the pitch in front of the fans, but I suppose the rules are the rules.

I believe the rules state that it any member of coaching staff enter the field of play (ie. Cross the white line) it’s a straight red. It wasn’t so much about the scuffle, moreso about entering the field of play.

He went through him deliberately and should have been booked, they are utter scum.

Gutted for Riza for missing out being on the pitch to take his well deserved applause and warmth from the fans done a great job with the coaches this week under terrible circumstances.Well done to players and staff great to see the passion required for a derby fixture

Agree 100% I think he thought it would get him some kudos with the rat eating caravan dwellers, should have been a booking for both

Referee had no choice but to send him off unfortunately.

Seen the replay and Riza looked furious, never seen him like that. Don't know if something was said or if all his emotions just got the better of him.

Franco just being a sore loser sadly.

Great reaction. f**k the red card, that's how our leader should react when a bell end dips a shoulder!!

Williams said was simply two people in wrong place wrong time.. and tbh probably right riza and franco both went for ball and momentum meant collided riza auto red for being on pitch...something and nothing really

Franco knew what he was doing very similar to bulut getting sent off disgusting vile rat

Biggest issue that makes Franco look more of a c**t and it being deliberate is how he just strolled away as if nothing had happened. Should of had some sort if card as well I think just because of how he walked off looking smug. Hope his legs get broken next time he plays dirty pikey

I’m not sure franco deliberately went into Riza and tbh Riza should have not reacted that way. However that’s easy for me to say, emotions we running high and he’s been through so much this last week. Gutted he couldn’t celebrate at the end but I’m sure he was more than happy with the outstanding result.

Riza reacted like most would at being shoulder barged ,the scum purposely did it and was laughing if he didn’t mean it he would have apologised . And did anyone see the scummy fans doing the aeroplane gestures and will they get into trouble ? I think Southampton fans did it a few years ago and got into trouble .
