Remember when the ref said he never saw this?
Does that mean we also get a "get out of jail free" card as well?
Do you not get it!? If the ref doesn't see it that is the carte blanche opportunity for the FA to dish out their retrospective punishments. I have no idea what happened with this situation, but you have to understand the 'context' at the time.
Does anyone remember Rooneys forearm smash against Wigan where the ref said he saw the incident so 'supposedly' the FA were powerless to act.
No one is trying to defend an elbow. I think we all remember the left back for City who performed the forearm smash on the touchline I think against spurs. I think all blues supported that decision. To suggest that this was a clear cut act of violent conduct is a joke. If anything Sergio was merely protecting himself from a defender who virtually punched him in the face. It was six and one and half a dozen of the other.
If you can't see the inconsistency then you simply don't want to see it.
