Internazionale 2 - 1 Chelsea F.C.
Champions League 2009-2010 round of 16 · 2010-02-24 Referee: Manuel Mejuto González

Either/or/or not

either

It was a foul, thus a penalty. Sure Kalou made a show of it, arms in the air, the dying swann, but it was a foul. Thus a penalty

or

It wasn't a foul, thus a dive. Mejuto should have booked Kalou. His second.

or not

Mejuto couldn't see it right, and his assistant isn't good enough. The referee just wasn't sure so he compromised: he did nothing. Maybe not really the Mejuto/steaming bull way but it more or less worked.

and

If you hardly book, players foul more, maybe not always everywhere, but this lot did. Pushing and pulling in the area, kicks from behind. Very manly and all that, but not good for the game.
