It's a tug of the hair. An utterly trivial act. Speaking of petty, there is some irony in your lot repeatedly bringing it up more than a year after it happened.
I don't think Rafael was too bothered. It's amusing to see how it still riles your lot. I hope he pulls it again next week.
irony? in what sense?
trivial act sure. but petty and cowardly it definitely is. and its brought up as I said as a reference to his character rather than any sense of injustice by united fans. he's your player. you need to defend him. but he's a cock. if ye saw some bloke doing that in another setting youd think 'what a gutless prick'. pull the mans hair and then pretend ye did nothing. its laughable to be honest. like you lot trying to paint him in a positive light.
