Bab 796: Snap My Fingers

"It's common to see a player being sent off with a red card for contradicting the referee, but it's not every day you can see a manager fighting nonstop with the referee and the fourth official on the sidelines, then finally being sent off with a red card. Last night, Tony Twain played out such a passionate scene for us at Camp Nou..."

As the television footage switched, the recording of the final moments of the previous night's match between Barcelona and Nottingham Forest emerged onscreen. In the image, Tony Twain had one hand on his hip and a finger pointed at the referee while he jabbered nonstop. He looked agitated, as if he wanted to throw a punch at the other man. 

When the referee pulled out a red card to send him off, he walked to the entrance of the tunnel and made a money-counting gesture. This infuriated the Barcelona fans at the stadium, and it could be seen clearly in the imagery that lighters, coins, and other debris came raining down.
