  • Odd that Gabriel's ban got rescinded. However provoked he was, and however much Costa cheats (Zouma, 2015) he still did wrong and acted like a silly little twat, and committed at least one red card offence.

  • Except the red card is issued for something specific, and it was a straight red so something along the lines of violent conduct, which nobody saw, and it made a massive influence on the game. And Dean failed to red card Costa, who has now received a 3 game ban, which had a massive influence on the game.

    Commentary in the press? nil.

  • Surely the kick was violent conduct? I thought it was a pretty standard Beckham on Simeone or Terry in the CL semi kind of foul?

    Alan Green earlier on was moaning that nothing was happening to Mike Dean.

    I just worry this sort of thing is going to feed the Mourinho Bullshit Conspiracy Generator
