From Porro’s shit-caked perspective, why wouldn’t he give it a go? It worked last week and Veltman was barely punished. On top of that the entire media circus about how Rice should have known better as opposed to Veltman not being such a fucking cunt means that he probably had a 40% chance of pulling it off successfully. Notice that he went down about 4 times during the match (including the initial incident) and the physios never once left the touchline. Meaning that even the staff knew it was bullshit, and somehow pundits maintain that Timber should be fired into the sun for daring to touch a ball.
