Ouch, really nasty looking collision in the Brum game, Ibanez getting a massive whack in the side of the head, looked out before he hit the ground though not quite the impact/type of smash into the ground as Drogba. One of the Brum players, having seen the guy while they were treating him, was crying, clearly very upset, hope its not as bad as it seems like it might be.
As for Townsend, the guy deserved to get sent off, simple as that, second yellow, he missed the tackle and pulled him back, thats a second yellow right there, what the player does afterwards is irrelevant, dive, or stands up, the pull is what the yellow card should have been for.
Dive, he went down kind of easy but then the way you go down often looks rather silly when two people are pulling in opposite directions and one lets go
Also, in fairness the ref should have seen the replays of his truly awful sending off, and as most ref's do try to even it up, considering the guy actually did a blatant yellow card offense its even more ridiculous he didn't send him off. The ref has been abysmal.

What a strike.
Absolutely shocking officials at the Fulham game. They should have had Chavez sent off long before he did, also was a De Jong'esq kick to the chest early on too. Didn't do enough to win, but the red card was absolutely laughable. Bet we can't even rescind it and Nunez gets off without anything mentioned. Shambles.
just seen that and it is harsh but he was pushed
He nudged him on the shoulder, so the guy throws himself to the floor holding his face? Never a red, fair enough a yellow maybe. That guy also kicked Dembele which is why he reacted.
These refs must be smoking crack because they know how to ruin a game. Saying that the guy reffing the Stoke game looks Israeli so he is probably biased/corrupt/cheating.
Just so harsh and how he was that certain when he was 30 yards over the other side of the pitch is just ridiculous.
