[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 815088, member: 20605"] Oh dear, I despair! You really haven't looked at the video very carefully have you? Note that Franks starts with his arm OVER Douglas' shoulder and then moves to position his arm UNDER Douglas' shoulder. The head-on view where you see Franks immediately removing his thumb from Douglas' eye area is AFTER he went back, not before. Your statement that he[I] "jammed them straight back in afterwards"[/I] is at best an error, and at worst, a lie (I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you are just in error.... at the moment) Yes, it should have been a penalty Yes, it might have even been a yellow card infringement... I think players should not be playing opponent's heads at all. But the Citing Commissioner will have seen the whole footage from the front on view (which by the way, is very close to the view that Poite had). BOTH officials have determine that Franks' actions did not meet the red card threshold.... and I agree with that determination. [/QUOTE]
