It's over; a short post

Please have a look at this picture.

It is a picture of a collision between two fast moving footballers.

Some observations:
Nobby Solano's boot did not make contact with the ball.  It went straight into Antti Niemi's throat.
Then the ball hit Solano on the elbow and went in.
This was all quite clear in real time as well.
But the goal was awarded.  Is it now legitimate to challenge goalkeepers with your studs?  Is it alright to use your elbow to score goals?
Leon Andreasen (rightly) made these same points to referee Howard Webb.
So he was sent off (he had already been booked).
Because of this sending off we must now play Man Utd without our best (only) defensive midfielder.

That is all.  Why waste any more words?  It's all going wrong.

Ben, sporting? Footballers? Where've you been living for the last 20 years mate? Sportsmanship was eradicted from top-flight football with the advent of the Premiership.

You know what was truely dispicable. Having scored by studding the keeper in the throat and then handballing the ball into the net, he then got up and celebrated. Sporting? I think not
