LOL Simon, come on, the Ljungberg incident was even said by the commentator he didn't see what the difference was, it was an arm right across the face and the elbow DID connect with the face.
I don't agree with the commentator as it wasn't as viscious as the Campbell one from certain angles but his point is that the player didn't even get a card when its been discussed since the Campbell incident that you can't use your arms. One player gets a red and another no card at all and his was definately an intended arm across the player to stop him getting away.
Its total inconsistency. Both for me should have been yellow cards. In fact the one on Ljungberg was more of a deliberate foul because the player was behind Ljungberg and he put his arm across him to deliberately slow him down which resulted in taking the player out. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Instead the one for Arsenal is red, one for another team isn't any booking at all. And people wonder why Arsenal fans complain about inconsistent refs
Having Campbell out for 4 games could ruin our season, although thats partly Wengers fault for not buying enough decent players to have a strong squad [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Refs will never be 100% consistent but sometimes its stinks of victimisation against certain teams and clear as daylight that one particualr team gets away with a lot more than any other team in the Premiership

Bravo - I dont think you get what I wa talking about. Henry, Viera and Campbell have been accusing Ole of diving badly. My point is that he got an elbow to the nose which is very painful. Ljundberg yesterday got more of a slap across the side of the head and he still went down faster than a thai hooker at happy hour.
I dont disagree that both were yellow card offences but its the fact they all whinged about Ole so much then do exactly the same. Since Weds night they have been making out that his reaction is the only reason Sol got red. The ref made the decision, he's seen the replays now and sticks to his decision - there is nothing Ole can do about that.

Simon ok no worries, bleeting on about diving is a waste of time anyway by any player and on that note Jeffers needs to be kicked out the Arsenal squad as that bloke is an embarrassment to our team for his diving antics. Send him to Italy where he will be a star!
I don't think Ljungberg went down like a sack of **** for no reason, it was a clear elbow in the face but again no blood so can't have been hit that hard, just like Ole wasn't hit that hard.
Think it was just rubbing salt in the wound by not booking the Boro player that was all.
