- When the play happened Cronin was "aghast" that he got a yellow card. But the referee was standing right there looking directly at the play. On replay its an obvious red card.
- Someone will inevitably try to argue that Cronin "got the ball first." He sure did, and then his momentum took the bottom of his cleat right in to PC's planted ankle. Lucky its not broken.
