Ken Stephenson @kenstephenson.bsky.social · 17/05/2026@no1lino.bsky.social I see Pawson doesn’t think a yellow card should be upgraded to a red card when Soucek kicks Guimaraes. He was sh*t scared after getting previous decisions wrong which went West Ham. I can understand Gillet only giving a yellow card but Pawson wants shot with sh*t. He’s crap! 110
