The ability to take a stand, knowing you can walk away, is vital to anyone who wants to hold an ethical position. We need more people who can think freely in that way.

The performance, especially in the first half, was not as good as we’ve had so many times this season. “We’ve been on the wrong side of the score after a good performance far too many times, but today I think we got more than we deserved. A draw would have been a fair result of this game, but then you think you’ve won it but VAR is there and it was disallowed.
