My thought is theres an unofficial rule that if you stud someone high enough in the chest/back, then it just doesn't count.
Bosingwa, Evans on Drogba, De Jong on Alonso and Skrtel on Jo are the ones i recall in the past couple seasons that all should have carried extended bans, were all ridiculously dangerous tackles and mostly very much on purpose, I don't think any of them got anything did they?
I should be able to remember the De Jong one being most recent but, did he at least get a yellow for it? From what I remember Bosingwa, Evans, Skrtel none were called as fouls or received a yellow/red card.
I think all were bad enough to get a straight red AND an extended ban from the FA/Fifa due to the ridiculous nature of the "tackles", theres got to be more I can't remember but those ones stand out for how ridiculously bad they were coupled with little to no punishment or even fouls given.
