1. Referee was nearby, had a clear view of the incident and play continued.
2. There was no significant reaction from nearby WHU players as play continued.
3. Sergio was looking away from Reid at moment of contact so there is little, if any, evidence of intent.
4. The contact was Sergio's outstretched arm NOT elbow across Reid's chest NOT his neck.
5. As stated by Bilic post match the collision impact was not the reason for Reid coming off. His substitution was already planned.
6. The football man that is Bilic dismissed the incident in his post match as no big deal unlike Wenger and Mourinho who would be demanding a jail sentence.
Of course these facts were not highlighted by SKY. Quinn clearly briefed to start the witch hunt for a ban to the benefit of our next opponents ... SKY United.
