00:00Yeah, I don't think there's any debate about that. They say he didn't stop the counter-attack.
00:09I think every manager would prefer if there was a tackle being made 40 yards away from
00:14our goalkeeper. I don't think you really stop a counter-attack then. Every manager would
00:18prefer to get a second yellow card for the other team than to finish that counter-attack
00:23with a player less to play that counter-attack with. And then if that is not a discussion
00:28then the next discussion is, was it reckless enough? Just give advantage and then just
00:33come back and say, yeah, I thought the tackle was still too reckless so I still have to
00:37give a yellow. But yeah, in the far decision he had to tell everyone what his decision
00:42was and unfortunately he didn't have to do this in this decision. So things happen. Very
00:48unlucky for us, very unlucky for us. The good thing for us is that if you ever have to lose
00:53a game it's better if you lose one where there's still a second leg to be played. Far from
00:57ideal starting position for us because they have a really good team. Probably some players
01:00come back for the second leg. Decision is made. You can't change it in the moment. You
01:05feel like, okay, when he didn't give the second yellow, nobody thought that it would have
01:10had such a big impact 30 seconds later. I think, I haven't asked him, but I'm 99.9%
01:17sure that I wasn't the only one who felt, I would use the word, which I cannot use anymore.
01:27What other words could you use then? Not the best. Which didn't feel not the best. I'm
01:3199.9% sure when Bergvall scored the referee was like, ah, is this really happening?
