My girlfriend (Villa fan) actually said, 'Bale what are you doing?' when he pushed AGGER - I thought he was gone.
We need to consider, in all situations, if we reversed things, if it was an opposition player doing something. Had Suarez dived and then jumped up and shoved Kaboul, we'd have been screaming for a red. I'd like to give Bale the benefit of 'riding' the tackle, but it looked a dive to me.
The Skrtel challenge on Bale a bit later was borderline, but again, had it been a Spurs player, would we be saying it was a clear red? I doubt it. Thought Benni's last week was worse.
Fixed :grin:, he pushed Johnson too i think the little scamp.
