Personally, I can't see any benefit in the sort of things he said yesterday. I'm pretty sure most referees wouldn't look on such stuff kindly. There is often talk among City fans about how the team is regularly treated by match officials. I think such complaints are generally exaggerated, but I don't believe Warnock's comments help the situation.
It's a tough one. You can argue that, under the current rules, it should only have been a yellow, but it's all down to interpretation and I'd have been surprised if a VAR panel would have overturned the red card. His foul against Man City should unquestionably been a red instead of a yellow, though.
Some of Warnock's past comments I have found what one might call "ill advised" and i too have cringed, but he was right to have a go at Kane, the England captain, yesterday.
Yes, it probably won't do us any good regarding pundits and referees going forward but I can't really blame him for saying it.
Harry Kane, Englands finest. He's such a nice boy. He was only looking out for his teammate and safeguarding his career after that "horrific" tackle.
I am not defending the tackle but if it was Hoilett getting brought down by Trippier in the same situation, with Morrison getting in Trippier's face and us all surrounding the ref, he almost certainly would not have got a red and we'd more than likely be berated by the pundits for causing affray.
Warnock is under pressure and needs a break from somewhere and it seemed we had contained Spurs really well before the incident.
Kane did nothing was frustrated and Warnock was right to call Kane out on that just as he was right about it being little old Cardiff.
Tbh, I like Ralls but I just felt embarrassed for him. Looked like something you’d see from 1960s South American cloggers.
