What did everyone think of the red card to Marquez and yellow card to Howard?
My take? Marquez deserved the red. The challenge itself was normal and acceptable except for the studs up, attempt to injure kick to Howards leg.
The yellow to Howard was a stupid call. The match report said it was for delaying the restart. How do you penalize someone, in that situation, for delaying their own free kick? Especially when the referee was trying to disperse the angry mob. A quick restart was never gonna happen. Puzzling.
