Sky TV has come across video that appears to show Stoke striker Peter Crouch running his hands across the eye of West Brom captain Joan Olsson at the weekend. The action looks very similar to that used by rugby players when they are "gouging."
What the hell is going on?
Strikes me that there is so much off the ball, casual violence going on these days at the top level that referees need to call in the video ref urgently. I haven't been a supporter of such assistance in the past, but cheating is reaching scary levels. Punishments need to be severe.
The video shows absolutely no reason why Crouch would be running his fingers across Olsson's face from behind. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that it's a nasty attempt at gouging.
Where will it all end?
