Romelu Lukaku was sent off this weekend by referee Delferière in a quite ridiculous way. Trainer Jacobs criticized the ref by calling his decisions "a lack of understanding and insight".


Delferière defends his decision and says he would draw the two yellow cards again.

Lukaku got two yellow cards: the first when he kicked the corner flag after celebrating the 0-1. The second, he got when he shot on goal just a second after the referee had signaled offside... Ridiculous of course, but Delferière says: "The rules are what they are. Everyone must follow them, also Lukaku. This is part of his learning process."

Jacobs and the rest of the football loving world sees it differently. The trainer immediately left the field after the second yellow card, denying de referee a friendly handshake after the game.
