I'll be surprised if the existing double standard for the English boys is eradicated.

Why? No Fergie to berate him or John Terry to lead a march of players surrounding him. The game which went 120 minutes and pks, was generally a polite but intense affair as it was the final of one of our regional competitions. I think it has become cultural thing to beat up on the officials in the PL, and it is unhealthy.
