Always best to get your retaliation in first if your going to get a red card make sure it's for something worthy I would tell my players .
Thinking back to the battle of Goodison in 1964 when Johnny Giles started it on the fifth minute with an over the ball cracker on a toffee then Sandy Brown gave him a left hook that Henry Cooper would have been proud of Brown got sent off no cards back then , then it really got going tackles that would have the game abandoned these days but then Derek Temple was tack chest high by Willie Bell everyone thought he was dead taken off on a stretcher unconscious both teams back to the dressing rooms for a lecture from the referee then back to continue the beautiful game if anything the tackling got a lot worse and at the end Leeds won by the single goal and believe it or not only one more booking
Aye it was a mans game back then ?
