"He (Roe) looked like an epileptic fish," Tangnes told journalist Nicola Berger (Neue Zürcher Zeitung), when looking back at the scene that happened in the 37th minute of Thursday's game against SC Bern, in which Roe went down in a rather theatrical way. In various newspapers this morning, Roe was even compared to footballer Neymar.
Nevertheless, Tangnes is sure that the penalty call in that scene was right: "Was it a penalty on Roe? Absolutely. Should he have gotten back up faster? Absolutely," he said to Berger. "We're not proud of it and talked about it." Roe himself said after the game in an interview with MySports: "The guy stuck his leg out (...) I was trying to protect myself."
