    Did anyone see this incident? Sounds weird to say the least. Was he the full ten yards away when he chucked it?

    "The Chilean, frustrated with how long Busquets was spending to take his free-kick, picked a lump of grass off the ground and threw it in the face of the Spain international, who held his face and started to go down."

    Sounds like a bit of a sod.

    I'm glad the player got sent off. Football would be impossible without lawn and order.

    Getting turfed out seems reasonable in the circumstances.

    A spot of gardening leave would do.

    The other man's grass is always greener.

    Would Jon Moss have sent him off, though?

    I'm old enough to remember George Best getting sent off for something similar.

    SSN showed it this morning. He looked pretty calm. I thought he was picking up a foreign object at first, then he just calmly throws it at Busquets' face, only one the close-up, slow-motion replay can you see it's a bit of grass.

    I'm not surprised he got sent off, throwing a blade in someone's face!
