"Man utd lucky not to have finished with 7 or 8 men."

Keane should definitely have walked that was atrocious.
Phil neville definitely should have gone for that horrendous tackle after he was already booked.
Beckham was slightly less clear but as his booking was a little unlucky i think rennie let him of that bundle in the box which was easily a booking as the first one was so dodgy.
Now, Laurent Blanc was the subtle one, he took a leaf out of "the henchoz book of defensive goalkeeping" did anyone notice how subtly he saved McAteers shot just before Flo scored. If flo hadn't of put that in the game would have stopped and Blanc would have been of good keeping but e was lucky to get away with it.

Keane and Neville should both have walked
Blanc was extremely lucky to have got away with it.
Beckham shouldn't have got the first booking so deserved to stay on. (but has anyone noticed he is getting a lot dirtier of late)

Keown shoved Hasselbaink at the top of the chest near his neck, now whenever i play football i don't expect someone to shove me and wind me by almost hitting me in the neck. I expect someone to be pulling my shirt give a few shoulder digs in but not shove me around the box. Keown raised his hands to Hasselbaink and should have been sent off. There was obvious intent which warranted a card even further

I didn't actually see him do anything to Hasselbaink, I saw it happen to nearly all the other players though.

You also need to remember that Keown and Hasselbaink have a history of aggro with each other, a bit like Keane and - well, everyone else.

Can't remember what started it, but they're always at it.

That was not jostling for position, you could understand a bit of shirt tugging and trying to out-muscle each other but he was just lashing out at anyone standing close while they were just standing and not dishing any back.

On a different note, Wiltord looks like a Sperm Whale :P

He should have went off for that shove though, that was intent. Ok, the ONLY intent was to put him on the floor, but it's still intent.

I agree with that. But Gronkjaer was also booked, so there was something going on there that we didn't know about - maybe some verbal. Wiltord isn't usually the sort to respond like that.

Watch any football match and you'll see that going on - "part of the game", as they say - jostling for position.

He wasn't shirt pulling but physically assaulting everyone. A few times nearer the end of the match the cameras zoomed in whilst waiting for set-pieces and he was constantly shoving all the players around, yet didn't get booked for it at all.

Keown is only using shirt pulling because he is so cr@p and can't keep up with anyone.

Not dirty, just "cunning" like he said the England team needed to be during the world cup ;)
