still dont really understand why nathan dyer wasnt sent off for the challenge on reina. i'm not bitter about the result or anything it's just one of those annoying inconsistencies in football. just because 'he was within his rights to go for it' doesnt mean he should be excused leading with his studs up and his boot at least a foot high in the air.
i know he got the ball but just imagine for a second that he followed through into someones shin like that. i think most would then be arguing for a red. for example, see rodwell's red card in the derby against us
