There is a difference. De jong is notorious for his bad tackles. Just like divers often don't get legit penalties called bc of their reputations.

you realize you're doing exactly what i said y'all were doing, right?

you're not arguing the actual scenario...just trying to compare it to other situations that have no bearing on today

that doesnt have anything to do with this.
I was just making a point that the two offences were very similar.
Some of you guys, not necessarily you PTbob, are seeing how you want to see it. To me nani today was just as guilty of dangerous play as de jong was. The results were different which is really frustrating but you have to have some continuity of what is and isn't a red card offense.

ETA don't get me wrong I am not saying that nani should have been a red card. I am only listing comparable events and showing that they are regarded very differently in the public eye.
