Thread | Full details of Omer Riza's South Wales derby red card revealed ...

😂
"Riza was afforded to give his version of events and claimed that Franco had goaded him all game and believed some of the tackles he produced during the match also played a part in why he reacted in such a way. He even claimed that Franco raised his arm in a "reckless manner" which, in his opinion, was tantamount to violent conduct.
“Firstly, in respect of my personal circumstances. As I’m sure you will be able to empathise, the 48 hours leading up to the fixture following the death of my father were extremely emotional and taxing; however, I am certain that I made the right decision to lead the team into this match as normal," Riza said.
"I would like to apologise for my reaction to the provocation pitchside; as I’m sure all who have worked with me can attest, this was a circumstantially driven emotional reaction that is very much out of character. Nonetheless, I know my responsibilities and the examples that I must always set to my players and staff.
"In respect of the aforementioned provocation and coming-together, I’d like to offer my account of the circumstances around it. Swansea Player #17 Gonçalo Franco persisted in making targeted eye contact with me throughout the fixture which can be seen in the clips during the 67th and 76th minutes of the game.
"The same player overstepped the mark with several challenges during the match and I felt that he was waiting for an opportunity to try and provoke me into a reaction. When the player collided with me in the 92nd minute, the force and movement of his forearm can only be described as reckless behaviour and in my mind, violent conduct.
"There was no attempt by Franco to pull out of the collision. Following my sending off, Franco can be seen smirking and laughing as if the pre-meditated task had been completed successfully. I would ask that the circumstances and video evidence presented here are considered by way of mitigation.”

"But the plans put forward by the FAW would allow ANYONE registered with a club in the home nations for at least five years to become eligible to play international football for that country." |
