Doubt it. He doesn't seem nearly as imbalanced as seasoned lying pedants 
like your good confused self...

billy liar, as you call him, absolutely destroyed you in yesterday's 
thread. It was funny to see you coming back for more punishment, not 
realising what a twat you were making of yourself - brilliant

I would have been pissed if Lucas had of got booked.

But Blue cubed is right, we do need to rid the game of the play acting, 
diving and cheating. Gerrard included.

Nani touched him with his forehead. He did 'not' butt him. Neill went down 
as if hit by Tyson.

Nana was not the only embarrassing idiot to play-act in that incident. In 
fact, Neill's actions made him feel he had little choice.

Play it back in slow motion....Neil pinched Nani's leg and slapped him (big 
girl's blouse that he is). I saw this on MOTD, I had recorded it on my PVR 
and played it back really slow. Not that it excuses Nani's foolishness - we 
have to remember the importance of the game and that he could have just 
turned the other cheek like Ronaldo does week in week out, but really both 
players should have been sent off.

Will this new evidence be reviewed and action taken or will the Neil get off 
with this because the ref never noted it in his book? :/

My first line was tongue in cheek, both players reactions were not what we 
want to see.
The problem the FA have is they can only punish the blatent actions. I 
didn't think Neill  was hit with any power, but he was hit, giving the FA a 
difficult job to prove anything. Nani though, was a different kettle of 
fish. I am not defending Neill, blaming Nani or provoking an argument, but 
what can the FA do? Nani has been sent off so has had his punishment and I'm 
ot sure they can prove anyhthing against Neill.
I'm also a big believer in what happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch. 
I'm against trial by tv, goal line technology on any other decision not made 
by humans. The errors have always been there, they are just being 
highlighted by tonnes of camera angles etc. The skill and the mistakes are 
what makes the talking points and the fun. Without these there would be less 
excitment and the game would be cut and dried and no one would bother 
turning up. Technology is great, but do we want the game run by robots?

Nani deserves any punishment coming his way. I was just pointing out that 
Neill playacted almost to the extent Nani did.

The relief is that it did not happen at 0-0. Or in the CL final.

Let's hope that it was a good lesson learned for Nani.
