Wow, I am surprised they were both laughing at that. Would have thought he would have been red carded.
Maybe the ref is in Cardiff’s back pockets?
I thought it would have been after the game… it was in the first half?! Wow… that was ummm… risky.
Ah, come on mates. You gotta have a laugh and some fun every now and then. I dont know what the temps are in Cardiff at the moment but if your sweating and somebody is pooring some water on your head is actually good. Overall. its a pretty good prank.
A great moment! The refs would rather take a joke like that instead of having Bellamy bombard them with profanities like he usually does. Bellamy scampering away when the ref tried to grab him was a classic schoolboy moment.
