You're right, it's far from his first time and that's not any worse than some of his previous tackles either. Somehow he never gets sent off for them though.
The worst thing about the challenge last night was that the ref was stood right there with a perfect view of the challenge.
Indeed, i was quite surprised that the ref, with him having a perfect view of the tackle didnt pull out a red.
Just like the other night when Blackburn should have had a penalty against Wigan, again the ref was right there and had the perfect view.
I swear yr by yr the reffing in football gets worse and worse...many teams have been cheated out of a goal or a win in some cases ie Wigan against Chelsea a few mths ago is one that comes to mind.


So Steve Kean doesn't even know... Should be an interesting press conference!
