Here instead: Christmas stamps

[Slight_Return]

obi mikel kicked out tonight.

and

Alex clearly and maliciously stamped on Cahill.

I wonder what will come of these two incidents.

Nothing.

But you can bet your life if it was a stamp on Terry/Lampard it would not go unnoticed.

Prior to the Alex incident, what was Timmy trying to do?!...

Don't think it was all that bad, he stood on him, yeah, but not convinced it was a maliciously intentional stamp, really shouldn't have been sliding in from 10m away and been right under his feet anyway.

Can't say I picked up on the Mikel one, but either way, I think we got more than enough rub of the green from the ref for a change, so can't see anyone chasing up any other incidents.

if a player is losing his footing and the only place to put his foot ends up being on someone then i could accept it, but he put his foot down on him when there really was no reason to do so, petulance is the word i think i'm searching for.
i personally wouldve given it, sent him off, ordered big phil to get my meal while rafas in his sickbed, locked up abramovich after distributing his assets to needy childrens charities and made cech play the rest of the match with his hands on his ankles.

I thought Cahill slipped to be honest then slided into the back of Alex. lots of players were losing the footing from similar positions.

SSN are running the incident on a regular basis,they seem to think that the F.A will investigate it.

What did Mikel do, didn't see that one.

As for Alex, he clearly bought his foot down onto Cahill, blatant stamp.

But it wouldn't surprise me if he got away with it because it looks like he stops his foot just at the last minute as he begins to make contact so no damage done.

Of course the intent was there even if it was a split second reaction and he didn't stamp down all the way. And there are a lot of players who would of acted like they had been shot but Timmy just looked at him like "what the [Poor language removed] are you doing you knobend". I'm sure a few screams of agony from Cahill and alex would of been sent off but i'm glad Cahill didn't react like that.
