To be fair it happened so quickly but this is the best picture yet.
I didnt realise it was a punch at the time, I thought he just pushed him round the throat.
To be honest,. I am not a fan of the "shithousing", but it's the rank hypocrisy that annoys me. Bassette didn't do anything exceptional, even on the "shithousery" scale, yet he seems to be being called out for it by the same fans who undoubtedly look at their own players as if butter wouldn't melt whilst playing fast and loose with the rules.
Bassette clearly wound up Sheffield Utd and a player reacted like a complete numbskull, no-one to blame but himself. As for the reaction of Sheffield Utd players, coaches and fans, that is the real embarrassment.
Judging by Carr's comments, and Robins creating of a quite "fair" style of play that clearly still permeates the club, something will be said to ensure Bassette channels his "aggression" in the right way, but timewasting, keepers feigning injury are also "shithousing" yet nothing is said, anyone says anything about Bassette, I will tell the hypocritical cont to get fucked.
Hmm either you did not see the full interview or you are just trying to be contrarian.he didn’t say any of that

Be brilliant if they zoomed in and saw that one of the culprits, jostling and throwing punches was Frank Lampard.
Agree with this. I’d love to see him develop as far as football skills go. A few naive moves and decisions in the game today but love the passion. That’s exactly what we need right now. He’ll come through well if he can be coached.100% milked it. As @Otis said it’s totally unnecessary as the offence is worth a red anyway.
Got a long way to go for convincing of his actual footballing ability though.
He'll be a marked man though in refs eyes, they'll be aware his antics I think and not everything will go his way.He got himself sent off. He should have shown more self-control.
Yup. And he didn't even need to clutch his face. If he clutched his throat, where he WAS actually grabbed, it would have still had the exact same result of a red card.the only thing i have an issue with is the winking and blowing a kiss afterwards. that makes it all look to calculated.
cameras will always catch that, and then you become the aggressor.
do exactly what you did, but just smile afterwards. it will wind them up even more.

It wasn't a punch, that photo was taken as his hand left Norm's throat. The full match replay is available on iFollow and the 'elbow' on Milan is around 59:30 in and doesn't look that bad -Could be a much longer ban for that wind up merchant Anal Haemorrhoids of Sheffield United. Look at that Jake Paul punch to poor old Norm.

Or just show the ref the finger marks on his neck!Yup. And he didn't even need to clutch his face. If he clutched his throat, where he WAS actually grabbed, it would have still had the exact same result of a red card.
The Sheffield United have short memories, they never complained when they had Neil Warnock as manager and the likes of Chris Morgan and Paddy Kenny as wind up merchants, plus Oli McBurnie is a pretty nasty player.
Yup. I do think it may well backfire on Bassette.It's shows that if players don't exaggerate the offence they know that some referees will not punish the offence. However he should have gone down holding his throat not his head. The refs will be looking at him now and awarding free kicks against him all the time. Victor fell into that trap and never ever got anything from there on in. He was wrestled at every opportunity by the thugs they call centre backs that infest the EFL. Doesn't happen in Portugal hence his goal return for the last season
It looked bad to me. It certainly could have warranted a red card.It wasn't a punch, that photo was taken as his hand left Norm's throat. The full match replay is available on iFollow and the 'elbow' on Milan is around 59:30 in and doesn't look that bad -

Why free kicks against him?It's shows that if players don't exaggerate the offence they know that some referees will not punish the offence.

Yup. I do think it may well backfire on Bassette.
Refs are definitely going to have him on their radar now and possibly think he's playacting whatever the circumstance.
Certainly creates doubt.
Free kicks against him? Not sure about that. Not getting free kicks he normally would have had maybe.It's shows that if players don't exaggerate the offence they know that some referees will not punish the offence.

Still images can be manipulated and made to look like anything you want, to suit your agenda. He's warmly shaking Norman's hand according to Sheff Utd fans.It wasn't a punch, that photo was taken as his hand left Norm's throat.

Nah they won’t. Those players always get away with it. Have done for years.Yup. I do think it may well backfire on Bassette.
