Dean bottle's it
Do refs need to have ever played football in their lives? Do they go on courses where they are taught to see the game as just that. A game. Not just a set of rules to be administered come what may. William Shakespeare broke what few language rules there were and yet he has a fair old legacy.
Rules are not made to be broken of course but sending Wenger to the stand because he kicked a water bottle in frustration smacks of little hitlerism. Dean sent him off 'cos he could. Not because it made sense, not because it was seconds left on the clock. He did it to say look at me, look at my power like an over officious, small minded traffic warden.
Perhaps in UEFA's new found spirit of second guessing match officials we can see this pathetic decision overturned?
But Dean was right to book Eboue. The Ivory Coast space filler showed the odd good touch esterday but he's still crap and his dive just days after the Eduardo incident shows the odd brain cell that inhabitats his skull must find life pretty lonely what with so little company up there. Leave the dives to Flipper...
