People Are Saying The Same Thing About Joe Hart And Gianluigi Buffon

Remember what Joe Hart did to Michael Oliver in 2014?

Well, Hart's actions from four years ago got plenty of people talking following Gianluigi Buffon's red card against Real Madrid.

Cast your mind back to the Manchester derby in 2014, a game which Michael Oliver took charge of, Hart was very fortunate to escape a red card after putting his head on him.

Oliver failed to brandish a red card on that occasion.

Four years later, the same referee sent off Buffon for confronting him but not physically touching him.

Naturally, it got Twitter comparing the two incidents:

Buffon was furious with Oliver's decision, and lambasted his officiating.

"Clearly you cannot have a heart in your chest, but a bag of rubbish. If you can't handle the pressure and have the courage to make a decision, then you should just sit in the stands and eat crisps."

What's your take? Let us know.
