Jim, I am asking questions, right? You ve mentioned the disrepute thing: where is this rule? I couldnt find it on the FIFA site.
If/when I take my son to a game and he gets to see something like this I wont flinge. I suspect he wont either. Is it lifechanging for any human being at any age to see this for a second or two? Nah. Kids are exposed to worse things on telly every day just by watching the news. Red card? yeah? seriously? If so it should be backed up by a rule, that is my problem here. Wether you approved of the wrongdoing or not is irrelevant: Diouf is entitled to a fair treatment like any other player. I ve not been able to find cause for a direct red card online by looking at rules. I dont mind Diouf, I used to. I hope he stays and I like the fact thats hes not 100% compliant.
