Now, I know my allegiance is obvious..
But is the hair pull obvious?
The fact Bassey doesnt even make any noise about it, in a close rivals local derby, fighting for the extra points chasing Europe I think helps tell the story.
The angle of the footage could also show the arm go behind the head/hair and the player fall down at same time as coincidence. He doesnt fall backwards as a the type of hair pull would suggest.
If its proven he did, then he should have been sent off. No doubt about it.
