PRO offers interesting explanations for Tim Melia’s yellow card

Related Topics: Tim Melia, Cristian Roldan

One of the truisms in soccer is that goalkeepers are given far more latitude on fouls than outfield players. Still, there’s a line that even they aren’t allowed to cross. One would assume that body-slamming your opponent would be well on one side of that line.

Apparently not.

Tim Melia executed a body-slam on Cristian Roldan with such form that even The Rock was impressed, but managed to be shown only a yellow card in Saturday’s game.

this is called delivering a devastating, “Rock Bottom”
+ I assume player in green got up and fought his ass off, unless he got his bell rung.
