    He's often a typical overly dramatic foreigner who enjoys throwing himself around when anyone breathes close to him, however on this occasion the TV replay proves that he shouldn't have been given a second yellow against Hull.

    Michael Dawson did catch him, and both he and Steve Bruce admitted it after the game. Dawson even held his arms up as soon as he made the tackle which is always an admission of guilt.

    The trouble is I don't think you can appeal a second yellow card.

    Wont be the first player to have his reputation get him sent off- It was a foul but if he plays that way, I have no sympathy- Dont hear of it happening to Gareth Bale any more-

    it will be interesting if they appeal and it gets thrown out, the booking that is ... as the pundits said he is quite clever at leaving a leg in! or similar ...

    Why didn't Dawson tell the ref that he had caught him?
