Fat Ronaldo's

Robert Huth has been rightly banned for three matches today after striking Matthew Upson’s eye in Stoke’s 2-1 victory over West Ham last week. Although an argument could be made for centre-back on centre-back violence being an acceptable part of the game, Huth’s deliberate and nasty attack deserved to be punished. The question is though, where is Vidic’s ban for punching Hugo Rodallega last month? The referee didn’t spot it, the cameras did and a couple of newspapers called for action but nothing has happened. It could be argued that Vidic was in fact trying to hit Rodallega’s chest when the Ecuadorian lowered his head and received a blow to the face but there is surely no place for the clenched fist in the modern game? Is this the Fergie factor at play? Why was the case never taken on by the FA or highlighted to the extent that Adebayor’s or Huth’s were by the BBC or Sky?
