A supposedly unprovoked punch against a push. But it does go to disprove the point I made. I was thinking about scuffles in the tunnel before and after football games. Were there any repercussions for the ManU/Arsenal pizza incident?
I know you are not. just wanted to point out that Aus deemed Warners behaviour unacceptable and banned him, whereas Eng are trying to sweep it under the carpet. They are not exactly comparable, and we don’t know if Root provoked Warner, or both of them were just too drunk but point point is Aus atleast take responsibility of the stupidness of their players and take necessary action, not protect them. Would have expected Eng to do something similar, as Cook et al know exactly what happened. And we all can fairly deduce what would have happened.
