ASTON VILLA scorer Matty Cash, was controversially booked for unveiling his "under" T-shirt, backing a Poland team-mate stuck in Ukraine. After firing the opener in the 2-0 win at Brighton on Saturday, Cash revealed a 'Tomasz Kedziora + family, stay strong bro' message for the Dynamo Kiyz defender. Slough-born Matty Cash, who has two Poland caps, displayed where his heart is.Referee John Brooks followed strict FA rules by handing Cash a yellow card for taking his top off. Villa chief Steven Gerrard 'took responsibility' for the yellow card after revealing he had urged his players to keep calm. Kedziora, 27, who has been with Ukraine capital side, Dynamo, since 2017, is trapped in the country as the Russian invasion intensifies. Russian president Vladimir Putin has stepped up his aggression against Ukraine as troops close on Kyiv despite fierce resistance.
Manager Steven Gerrard said: “I’ll take responsibility for Cashie’s yellow card. "I should have spoken to the players before the game and said to them, ‘If you score any goals, remain calm’. We’ve all got to respect the situation and I think that’s what Matty tried to do. But I’ll certainly take responsibility for that. There’s no blame towards Matty. Everyone has different feelings. That’s on me that one.”
Some say "Deserved, this is football not politics." "Use this platform to make change? Nothing wrong with this!" "The ref doesn't want to give him a Yellow, but he has to!"
By the way, the Russian Premier League is carrying on its programme, uninterrupted by these politics. If you are really interested here's another set of news on footy: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzGmvBtHWmrLVlMXZdXBJCCsNrpm
