Apparently I am just getting old. All the kids are baying for blood and want sexual assault charges for this.

It would probably be slightly more serious but its not. Like it or not, there are different contexts to these things when the genders change.
Give the guy a few weeks ban or whatever and tell him if he touches a player again he won't be allowed back. Move on.

He was asking for it imo. Almost twerking at him in those shorts.
I think it's subconciously about mirroring people to build rapport. If I spend an intensive amount of time with people with a certain accent I start mirroring them. Stayed with relatives in Yorkshire and was doing subtle Yorkshire accent, went to Australia for a few weeks and it was rubbing off on me etc.
These football people get ridiculed for it but I completely understand how it could be happening without deliberate effort, based on my experiences.

Why did he kick it with his right foot?
Still, they were 3-0 so not really a biggie.
I read today that Robert Jarni got sacked from his Croatia U17 coaching role for saying he wants Betis to beat Dinamo Zagreb. He's a former Betis player, who also played for and supported Dinamo's main rivals.
I think this is a bit harsh. I mean, let's say Terry Venables had come out and said he wanted Barcelona to beat Arsenal when he was England assistant coach, I wouldn't have held that against him. He was a former Barca manager, he played for Arsenal's main rivals plus Chelsea, in fact he played for and/or managed quite a few London clubs.
