He aims for the ball, the defender stops and he can't change direction midair. Comparing it with walking up to someone and bite him in the shoulder is ludicrous. A case can be made to give Ballotelli a red card but it's not a no brainer, the bite is always a red card, yet it was Italy who got the red card, not even for the challenge that could have been a red card, but for something that never was close to worthy of a red card. Italy should never have been given a red card and Uruguay none, and that was what happened. If the ref was competent he could've given one red card to both teams in these situations, but he could also have given Uruguay the only red card and still been competent, depending on how he views the Ballotelli hit. But in no situation is it valid to give Italy a red card and Uruguay none, not even mentioning that he awarded Italy a red card for the challenge that wasn't the one that could've been a red card, he gave it to them for something that never was a red card. Uruguay was helped ridicoulusly much by this incompetent referee.
My name is Serbia, and my talent is causing Gillipig to lose his mind.
Bollocks.
Either you are the referee or you are incorrect. Pick one.
