And I'm sure Thatcher, who isn't a total wuss, could handle it anyway. The intent to injure was clearly not there, the intent to foul was!
As for boasting, Winterburn and Dixon have said they did it, as do others. Are they getting fined as well?

I'm sure it happens all the time, but to come out and basically say "look at me, I'm so clever" is stupid.
I don't see anything wrong with deliberately getting a yellow card, but he couold have got it in another way than a bad tackle, which could have injured the other player.
I'd laugh if FIFA did ban him, just because he was stupid enough to admit it.
