HATCHET MAN: Big Sam wants justice for Ronaldo's kick at Dunn - but only if it benefits Blackburn an

25 February 2009 01:20
Sam Allardyce says he doesn't want Cristiano Ronaldo punished retrospectively for kicking out at David Dunn last weekend because Blackburn will get no benefit.[LNB]In the whacky, self-centred world of Big Sam, other teams fighting relegation will be the only ones to benefit if the Manchester United attacker is suspended on the basis of video evidence and his side, Blackburn Rovers, will be the only ones punished.[LNB]It won't act as a deterrent to other sneaky players then or have a bearing on  the title race?[LNB] [LNB]Ban Ronaldo - when Rovers are safe: Big Sam fumes as the United star stays on the pitch [LNB]Sam needs to take his blinkers off. Even if Ronaldo had been punished during  the match, the length of the ban, if there is to be one, would surely be exactly the same.  [LNB]OK, so Rovers might have been up against 10 men in the game and Ronaldo wouldn't have scored the winner. That advantage has been lost, but that is not  the point.[LNB]Ever heard of the idea of justice, Sam?
