I don't think that one was a foul to be honest - it's from the side and his studs are not really showing and there is ball involved - but I can see from the angle that Chris was on that it looked like a foul.
Tough game for him to control as both teams initially seemed to want to test his limits before it exploded and clearly Waitakere settled better.
I don't know, he got the ball, but he took a good chunk of the man first. Looked a foul to me, a bit of a soft 2nd yellow but don't think ACFC can complain too much.
Pretty much all commentators make the "he got the ball" claim when desperate to find controversy so they have something to talk about for 90 minutes (since for some reason they feel like they have to talk the entire time). I like to think De Jong would know better, but apparently not.
Agree, definitely a foul. The yellow card might be slightly harsh, but given its not a clean tackle, you can definitely make a case for it being reckless and therefore a yellow.
Not the refs fault that he had to send Riera off once he deemed that to be a yellow card challenge, pretty silly to put in challenges like that when you're on a yellow.
