i saw a bbc article on this, it said a ref can give a penalty if a player kicks or attempts to kick another player.

ried took a massive fucking swing at him so he can have no complaints over that one, even if santi dived.

also im loving how west brom are so angry about santi diving and every player seems to be saying its a disgrace, and the media lapping it up while ignoring the fact that one of their own players dived in our penalty area later on in the game
