I was surprised to see Keown do that, and if the ref or the linesmen had seen it, then it would of been a straight red.

Yea it was a good 'push' with his fist into Nistelrooy's face.

Well, there's a surprise! I'm sure none of us were expecting that.
Don't get me wrong - he'll deserve whatever he gets.
But going back to last season's match at OT, RvN punched Ljungberg in the stomach. The ref and linesmen missed it, and oddly it was never reported that the FA requested a video of that particular incident. And he was certainly never suspended for it.
And people wonder why many fans - of all clubs - suspect the FA of favouritism.

Well, looking at the playback it's fairly obvious that RvN was looking for a reaction. He seemed to step on Keown's foot on purpose. Probably an effort to get the man cautioned, so he would have to watch his tackles for the remainder of the game.
I won't say that I appreciate that type of football, but it didn't work on the day, and Keown should have known better than to react to it.

upson and campbell!
yes RVN did elbow Keown in the stomach last year and yes he should have been punished but hitting someone in the face with your fist is trying to cause alot more damage than elbowing someone in the stomach and alot more dangerous
he pushed his face not punched him........ rvn should of got something for last year tho.....
he pushed him with his fist bwahahahahahaahah!!!
Last time I looked, pushing someone's face with your fist at speed is punching someone. Just because Keown isn't Lennox Lewis doesn't mean he doesn't have the same intent.
He punched him.

He punched him.
hence the reason i put 'push' like that and not writing it normally. *sighs*
