If Boro were playing against another team, could easily have seen red.

Must admit I didn't really see that properly at the time, but it was a dangerous and uncontrolled challenge for sure. On another day could easily have seen red. Anywhere else on the pitch that's a def sending off.

So if the FA can punish Sissoko after the game , why will Valdes get away with dangerous play?

the FA will only take action if the ref says he did not see it. If he says he saw it and thought it was O.K. the FA will not investigate. I don't think the FA will even ask the question.

Did the ref say he didn't see the Sissoko one then? He was right in front of it and thought he had a chat with the lino about it at the time.

DERMOT SAYS: I'm in the minority here. I saw this on Saturday and my immediate reaction was 'penalty'. I also think it was a red card because I think it's serious foul play. The goalkeeper cannot possibly play that ball and his knee is up and hits him high up. I think it's minimum a penalty and a red card.
Clear cut then, his minimum is also the maximum :hihi:
