Doing everything that would've been asked of him. Getting stuck in, winning the ball, driving forward, spraying passes. It really was a "midfield general" performance. Playing way beyond his years.
But there's no excuse for the red mist. Yes, get up and push your chest into the other chap if you must. But a full-on headbutt is naive. As has been said elsewhere, he'll be targeted by older/wiser players, looking for that reaction. It's where Skuse/Chambers
/Judge will need to be in his ear. [Post edited 27 Jul 2019 16:46]

Its funny the reaction it draws in football though whereas in Rugby it's deemed completely acceptable. Any dangerous behaviour puts 'gentlemen' in the sin bin but in football it gives 'thugs' multiple game ban in football.
Think its time to realise they're bth competitive contact sports played by passionate platers with ambition and human emotion and to to put them on a level playing field irrelevant of the type of contact the sport dictates. |
Don't be silly. A headbutt in rugby isn't acceptable at all. And a player would get a ban of several weeks perhaps even more if they went in like that. |  |
