Id argue it was more brushed, but as his hair is curly as it is, there would be a lot of entanglement and, let's assume you've all got hair, or your partners do, any "knots" will always be felt. But have you actually pulled the hair?
Are we really getting to the stage that teams may as well sign players with hair and any feel of the hair being touched is a red card?
I must admit, I thought at one point he did had a grab of the hair and as Cucurella was moving at pace, it would definitely create some force but you got to be 100% sure and I don't think the evidence is fully conclusive so VAR right not to get involved.
Too right.
I absolutely hate this move. I know the Brentford keeper has gone down (ironically against Leeds) before and players went over to listen to gaffer but most (i do think the Brentford one too) was for tactics and kill the game.
I personally think we should be taking a player off, for a minimum of a 30 seconds (maybe the captain or chosen on field captain if keeper is captain to avoid asking the question of who), as that could well stop the fake ones and mean that genuine ones are actually seen to.
