If he deserved a yellow card for what he did, then every player being fouled for the rest of the season should get a yellow. Really shows the knowledge of some people.

Don't forget, last year Fabregas scored with a broken leg and played for a short time after before subbed off. It happens all the time in every sport - athletes continuing through injury for a short period of time through adrenaline. In this case, Nani rushing over immediately after the foul.

How anyone can claim Nani was faking injury is beyond me.
What do you want man? Was the foul a yellow? Absolutely, was the foul potentially a red? Potentially.

But he jumped up instantly and then rolled around for a bit, and then had to be taken off on a stretcher. For a cut?

And then he was listed as injured for a month and then he played yesterday.

So whats the truth then? They say one thing and then go ahead and do something else entirely. No wonder theres doubt.

You're right about one thing though, it really does expose some people's knowledge of the game.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
