    For those that saw the Man City v Liverpool game last night and the head to head confrontation between Skrtel and Dzeko.
    Can anyone explain the difference between that and the Barton/Johnson episode as there foreheads definitely met.
    The only difference I saw was that neither Skrtel or Dzeko pulled there heads back.
    Oh! And the other big difference was the referee actually saw the incident and spoke to them both but neither even received a yellow card.

    BUT...

    Did players surround the ref, like the Norwich players did against JB and bleat about the incident?

    Obviously not...

    Two factors here -

    1. Total inconsistency is making the FA look stupid (not difficult!)

    2. Neither player was called Joey Barton

    The referee must have been a good one and wasnt out of his depth...
