I've been saying since the beginning of the season that Zlatan is a cheap player, with his stupid fouls, headbutts, etc...that sooner or later, he would end up with a red card...
I agree. Though I admit that this time Mihaijlovic probably provoked him a lot. But Zlatan didn't manage to keep his cool earlier on in the season, so I don't think we should stand up for him now. Zlatan is at times a ridiculous player.
Why are you guys discussing Zlatan action on Mihaijlovic? The referee saw that one, and it as nothing to do with the suspension. Or am I wrong? Ain't it all about the Cordoba issue?
Yeah, he received the ban for pushing Cordoba to the ground. It was quite an odd situation - I don't know what was the reasoning behind Zlatan's action, although Cordoba also faked the push being worse than it actually was.
Mihajlovic episode only got Zlatan a yellow card. Meaning he has to sit out a match for 5 yellow in all !
But Cordoba incident, I now heard it will be reduced cause Cordoba provoked Zlatan by kicking after him, and also putting extra "acting" when he got hit.

Zlatan's ban could be reduced to only one game and could be on the pitch this weekend. Reason is Cordoba's acting skills.
o good, at least some justice for Zlatan, but I still think that both Cordoba and Mihajlovic should be banned. Wad Mihajlovic said to Zlatan should be taken into account as well.
