I remember a dirty slide made by Koscielny at Tevez in the second half and the ref talked to him without even trying to give something, but for us... Barry - yellow card for a fault that was usual in a game (his first), Nige -yellow after a late foult, but without any intetion at Nasri or Fabregas if i recall and again the ref booked him even though it was his first foult of the game and most important, the Barry and Nige card were at the middle of the field, not in our 16 yard. I can bet that the rvp cunt cheeky elbow will be "forgotten" by the fa and so on. I'm starting to think if for the Scum game. Atkinson is available.
This should also be considered when people slate how negative we played, the ref made clear from the beginning that we were not supposed to battle their midfield by waving yellow at both our holding midfielders for no reason. That made it very difficult for us to really challenge and win the ball back as Nige for me had an off game, pulling out of tackles and being generally cautious after that early booking.
