I was kinda hoping Tierney would see the field today ngl but that was never gonna happen after Zinny came on. Still, good to see our fringe-r players get minutes.
I see people on twitter complaining about Diomande not getting a second yellow but isn't there like that no double punishment thing? or am I missing smth about the complaints
