Rorschach

That kind of foul doesn't happen often though. Usually the player falls over at the first touch, or the referee stops play before things get out of hand, as they did.
I thought it was. I was trying to be as objective as I could at the time, and I thought that the only thing that described the challenge was 'serious foul play'. It was malicious; he ends up full-on booting Nasri's knee! I understand that he was frustrated, but it didn't excuse it.
Got him with his shinpad in the knee really. A bad tackle for sure but not a clear cut red in my opinion. Actually I was a little surprised that Nasri didn't play on. You can generally run off an impact injury so I'm thinking it might even be knee ligament problems which is heap bad juju for Nasri.
What about Toure? Was he badly injured.
