Having looked at it Carragher should be arrested let alone sent off. and terrible by the number 17 before Rafael's booking. Arguably should be 9 v 11.

That's certainly a balanced conclusion, Simon.
In my view, both the Carragher and Rafael 'tackles' were straight red offences (and the Rodriguez thing nothing more than a glancing scrape in a bouncing ball situation - something goes unpunished every week) but seeing as the non-sendings off evened themselves out and the teams were allowed to carry on with 11 against 11, it was for the benefit of the game as a whole.
Top result... just a pity Arsenal cocked it up (albeit with the intervention of awful decisions by the officials)
On a final note, funny to [not] see Baconface being a big baby. That numpty needs bringing down a peg or ten; he really does think he's bigger than the game itself.
