They were going back and forth before the goal, I think from the foul on Beto that wasn't given just before.

Seamus keeps going at him and one or two others all the way back into our half.

He does seem to play fair and if that's not reciprocated he goes all 'pounce and humiliate' with maybe the added aim to get them to retaliate. Pashun?

I'm not sure it's exactly the quality you hope to see in your captain, but then Tarkowski's a bit too meek and accepting when things don't go our way too.

If we have such high standards for one, we surely should have for the other.

Can we just put it down to white line fever?

I know the standard is a pretty low bar when it comes to player behaviour.

I don't mind a bit of it and normally I'd say he'd gone a bit too far, but what got me is that none of the spurs players around him reacted, almost like they knew he had it coming. Might be that the late goal just gutted them, but it was weird how they just watched it happen.

I want a captain who will take no shit. Stick up for the club, the players on the pitch etc.
