I like Song being a bit of a bully, but not like that. He was wrong, and needs to learn when to be a bully and when not to.
But this is the Gervinho thread.

Sorry... I disagree. First and foremost Gervinho was clipped in the area, therefore it was a penalty... Also Barton manhandled him in the area whilst the ball's in play (it was mentioned by someone else too) so surely that should have been an indirect FK to Arsenal at best.
And I actually researched the Fifa/F.A rulebook and there's no mention of hands raised being an automatic red-card - Check it for yourself if you can be bothered to do so (I don't expect you to though lol)
That being said the only reason the referee gave a red card was because two NUFC Players one being Stephen Taylor (who actually told reporters after he "didn't see" what happened) told the ref Gervinho had elbowed Barton. When the camp slap he actually received could have been delivered harder by my sister.
But the 3 match ban clearly comes from the red card and the reason Barton wasn't punished by the F.A afterwards is because the referee had 'handled it' in-game w/ the yellow card.
