eshob double standard/single standard kore kono labh nai. people here are arguing that the 4th referee might not have seen it live, and that in that case - going by the rule book - zidane cannot be penalized. arey bhai, matha diya guta maira shuway dise...er por abar rule book dekhay...he deserves to be punished.

similarly, one might argue that matterazi cannot be punished either since racial slurs are not uncommon on sports grounds, and that ebhabe dhorte gele prottek matchei ekta/duita re laal card dekhate hobe...but that again would be like saying zidane should be let free because the referee didn't see it. IF matterazi DID indeed say something racial, then he should be punished too. racism is a serious offense and although it is impossible to penalize each and every little incident, FIFA should do the best it can.

ek haate tali baje na - dosh 2 joneri ase. zidane deserves to be punished, and so does Matterazi, IF AND ONLY IF the rumours about a racist remark are true.
