Sure this will go down like a lead balloon. I kinda feel sorry for Martin Atkinson. First time I saw the Huth foul at full speed, I thought reckless and a bit high and on that viewing could see why he was sent off. It is only when it is slowed down that you see he pulls out and goes in with his studs not showing. Atkinson does not get two or three views of it, so you cannot blame him. I think he does catch the Sunderland player with his knee on follow through, so this blaming of the player for feigning injury is rubbish and Pullis should shut up on that issue and apologise. Just my view, await the missiles.
I couldn't tell what had happened at the time, could see Huth went in pretty hard, too fast to see if he had studs showing. Just another argument for video reffing, this season there's been way too many players sent off for nothing, and players managing to stay on for what look like potential leg breakers.
