"Is he even anywhere near Curry? Why is Curry feeling intimidated? What a waste of time. Deal with this Curry guy. "

@Johan_Jordaan72 tweeted:

"Sounds to me like wyd kant wyd kant meaning open side. But he is definitely not saying it to Curry, he is organising the defence."

@Space_Pirate76 added:

"That’s good footage and audio. Also, Curry looks quite hesitant before approaching the ref, could be debating with himself if he should say anything or not."
