It's clearly a foul on Daniel. It's a foul, it isn't given and the goal stands. The yellow card for Daniel is just a joke - when you look at the incident back, it's poor. We feel a bit aggrieved because of that.

Columbus Crew boss Wilfried Nancy is on the Celtic managerial shortlist, along with Bodo/Glimt's Kjetil Knutsen and Kieran McKenna of Ipswich Town.

"I don't think there is any point for us. If you lose as many games as we have lost, I don't think we can look at the table at this point, but I have been in the game quite a long time [to know] that seasons aren't decided in November or December. It's when it comes to March or April time when it starts to become very interesting how it all shapes up up there. We want to be there but there's a long way to go and a lot of hard work to be put in. So we have to stay humble and we have to keep working and that is the only aim and the only thing we should focus on."

This weekend's game between AC Milan and Pisa will be officiated by Luca Zufferli, who has only taken charge of one Rossoneri game previously. The AIA, the Italian Referees Association, announced the designation for the game on October 22, and Zufferli will take charge at San Siro on Friday. Rossi and Mastrodonato will help officiate, whilst Collu is the fourth official.

The challenge by Matty Cash on Daichi Kamada was a poor challenge and deserved a red card. Cash comes in with speed and catches his opponent with his studs above the ankle, which could have risked a bad injury. This should have been a red card, and again, I cannot understand what the VAR is looking at when it comes to these types of challenges.
