As it was a penalty and not a dive, (confirmed by Shera) Barton's attack on Gervinho was unwarranted.
As MrR has said, after the ref allowed play to go on the next foul has to be be Barton's assault on Gervinho, which is another penalty.
Gervinhos pussy slap was the last offence and the only one penalised, as Barton hit the deck like a little girl.
Then scummy Taylor ran about screaming "Elbow" to anyone who would listen. And it seems the official did as clearly they hadn't a clue what happened.
Apart from the two cheating thugs, I would like the FA to look into the officials conduct here, too often lately the officials are making decisions where they are clearly guessing or reacting to players screaming at them.
I remember the old refs not giving decisions and telling anyone who would listen "I couldn't give it as I didn't see it!"
Which to me is more acceptable than giving decisions on what you think may have happened.
There are reasons the ref speaks to the other officials if the ref hasn't seen it.


i really cringe for you guys and your sense of "humour"
