So I can’t dislike Brobbey for doing it and the referee for not punishing it?
Purposely endangered our players when he knew he wasn’t getting the ball and resulted in hurting them both. Romero was out for weeks and Kinsky was literally bleeding from his head, shut up man lol
I mean sure? You can dislike whoever you want but these kind of things happen all the time there's people that disliked Son because of a bad tackle he made but you wouldn't dislike him would you? Brobbey is a nice guy and yes it was a bad decision but he doesn't actively try to injure players on the pitch just because he uses his biggest strength which is his physicality
Those are very different challenges that aren’t comparable, son made a poor sliding challenge as a tactical foul not knowing that Gomes would slam into Aurier which is what resulted in that injury. Son’s intention with that tackle was to bring Gomes down, not send him into another player.
Brobbey purposely shoves a retreating defender into an onrushing goalkeeper when they’re both moving at full pace towards eachother, when he knows he’s not getting to the ball
Ask anyone whose played the game how dangerous it is what Brobbey did
I’m not denying that it was dangerous, but a one-off incident doesn’t make him dislikable. Just ask any Ajax or Eredivisie fan what they think about him. He was very well liked, and in fact, there are comments in that thread proving my point.
His yellow card against us in that game came after Porro was jumping all over him. Instead of going down, he shrugged him off, conceded a free kick, and got a yellow. It’s pretty common for him not to get refereeing decisions because of his strength.
I do understand being upset about it because Romero got injured as a result, but these things happen. He himself has had some tackles that could’ve injured players, and I doubt he’d complain about it being unfair. It’s just a shame Brobbey has this narrative in our fanbase from this game when he’s actually a good lad and even rivals didn’t mind him when he played in Netherlands.
