I'm right with you mate. I honestly don't even know if he meant it. Looks to me like he is trying to leave is marker for the throw in and accidentally hits the feller.
Anywhichway, football is a contact sport, these things happen whether in purpose or not. His elbow hit the fellers head but it was hardly a full scale knock out, big deal. Some of these modern players need to grow pair of bollocks. Twenty years ago that was standard and no one thought anything of it. You give some, you get some, FFS.

Thats the refs job to see, he was right there, if they continue to not see these things and continue to avoid their job, they should get a fine.

Well this is the whole point from the Ade incident!
I agree that the game becomes shitty if this becomes the norm. But like I said what's good for the goose has to be good for the gander. It was an intentional strike to the head... of that there's no doubt. Ade's seemed, even in slow motion, to be an intentional strike to the hand IMO. Do body parts matter, or is it all based on intent?
Question: Why did our player get banned for 3 games, based purely on a slow motion replay, if they are not willing to do it for every single foul (Mascherano being the perfect example) that the ref didn't see?
ITS COMPLETELY FUCKED UP.

I agree completly. I am completly opposed to the Ade ban. I think that with the ref right there, he has to make the call, and if it is a no call then he should get no fine after the game. I think they should only use the video evidence to give someone a ban if he hits a player for example like walking off the pitch, or if there is a full scale brawl. The rest is up to the refs. If everyone gets bans for this smaller stuff though, it is setting up a dangerous precedent. Players will start diving if someones hand goes in the air and what have you just to get the player banned.

If nothing is done in this case it PROVES we're not operating under the same rules.
