You see "head butts" like that in game all the time, it's just a tap. Although it's wrong, a global ban is stupid, if he had done this to a player no one would think anything of it.
Gattuso for global ban?

This guy is a hooligan and always has been.
I remember in the 2006 world cup he was a to**er then too. He really should have seen red tonight. Am I the only one here who still feels him and his 2006 world cup winning team killed football?
If he does get banned - victory for football!

Over reaction much?

so that push at his throat was at 58mins.
If Italy killed football, what have I been watching for the last four years? The ghost of football? The football of Christmas past? Pro Evo 2487? Imaginary football? Have I even been watching anything this last four years? Is it 2011 or not? OH MY GOD AM I IN THE MATRIX TELL ME

a clear headbutt.
This has got to be my favourite post in a long time.

Oh dear, that was nothing but a little tap. Some people need to wear glasses.

Shocking behaviour. I wouldn't say globan ban but several games.

Nice one Gatuso, made my day.

i was more shocked at Flamini's shocking tackle and his reaction to it. could have easily been a leg breaker that one, and then he has the cheek to signal to the crowd and start tapping an imagnery watch for time wasting

Attempting to break someones leg is a daft statement to make, almost as daft as Redknapp, who's upset about the tackle because, according to him, its 2 to 3 feet off the ground.
Yeah, sure he made contact somewhere around the hip.
It was two footed, but he slid a LONG way, it was easily avoidable by Corluka and the actual contact comes from Corluka swinging his leg at the ball, missing(because Flamini does get it) and kicking Flamini's studs which are, inches, if that, off the ground.
Its a dangerous tackle because he went in, legs locked, with way to much force/momentum, but if he does that one footed most people wouldn't have batted an eyelid. LIke I said, if he went in standing, got the ball and Corluka's follow through kicked Flamini's studs, same injury, not even a foul.
As for time wasting, its a harsh call, Corluka was obviously injured but he was off the pitch and then after 2-3 minutes puts half a leg back on the pitch, it was actually I think the medical staff who did it to make time for the sub, it was time wasting, anytime anyone injured rolls back onto the pitch the other team gets angry about time wasting.
Flamini should have seen red, the tackle is too dangerous and the more often you see those, even without intent, the more likely you are to accidentally do that and be a foot off the ground, the injury would/could have been shocking if he went through Corluka above the ankle or around the knee. You punish those tackles so people don't risk doing it, so they don't accidentally do much worse ones.
Flamini should be the one getting the lengthy ban. Gattuso lost his rag but is banned for the next leg and that's punishment enough, maybe a small fine as a warning too. Still doesn't stop me from thinking Gattuso is a prized knob.

An Inter player got punched in the face and broke his nose (Burdisso now of Roma) by David Navarro. I think Navarro got a 4-6 game ban or a seasons ban from the CL.
