Wheater's shot was blocked, but he hit it into the ground anyway - looked like a mishit to me. Aye, the defender pulling Jeremie to the ground was bad, but at least it didn't have intent to disembowel.

Wheater's shot wasnt mishit it was deflected by a defender and in what way was Dong Gook Lee's shot lucky? He connected with it firmly and it got past the two defenders between him and the goal - do you think he was aiming for the cornerflag. You mention Huth's "red card" incident - which admittedly was hard to stomach for some... but at least he got the ball whereas in the 2nd half a Mansfield player decided that rugby tackling Aliadiere on the halfway line was fine. I seem to remember Jummy Hill banging on endlessly about "professional fouls" and if ever there was one that was it. Did you watch the game?
