Sorensen egged him on, but Van Persie needs to be smart enough to not fall for that crap. Taking the risk of nailing the keeper on something as stupid as that, knowing you are playing Man U around the corner, is just too stupid and risky for words. If I was Wenger, I would bench him for 3 more games after his suspension. Imagine he did that in the last game of the group stage in WC2010, or even worse, cost Oranje the tournament by playing with 10 men in the knock-out stage? Don't you understand my concern? The guy needs to mature, because he is still a liability, not an asset. He is a great player, but that does not mean he is above the team. @bart, our opinions on this differ just slightly, but not by much.

It's not fair of you to say "what would you do if you just got 16 stitches". You know what I would do, I wouldn't be an idiot and lower my head to nearly ground level and pick the ball up just in time. Sorensen clearly has no problem with his head because he's doing this dumb shit himself. Oh and also van Persie gave him a little shove on the chest NOT the head. Robin got unlucky that Sorensen is such a little cunt, any respectable goalie wouldn't do that shit anyway. So the verdict for me is that Robin should have gotten a yellow and a warning, and Sorenson got told to stop being such a baby. @finnster, Is it just me or was it Sorensen that taunted van Persie.

So he will miss the next 3 games. @Jess: A straight red in the Prem means 3 games. So he will miss the next 3 games.

I totally agree with you mate. Sorenson acted like a girl. But he also has 16 stitches in his face from last week and was probably not very interested in a skirmish. He just wanted to test VanP's temper, which turned out to be a very smart thing. Unethical and girlish, yes, but completely legal. Like it or not. However, even an under 16 player knows that charging a goalie will get you off the field anyday anywhere. When will VanP learn? Van Persie needs to see some headdoctors soon because we need him in 2010. He reminds me so much of a young Rooney and I can see him lose his head for Oranje when it really counts. Just like Rooney did for England. And that can cost us more than a game, it can cost a complete tournament. @caleb. I totally agree with you mate. Sorenson acted like a girl.

But I have to disagree about the red card. Had it happened in another part of the field it would almost certainly have been a yellow. But it was stupid though, so I can't really defend it too hard. @Finnster - come on now, he should act like a man and not role around on the ground like he was taking lessons from Dida. Sorensen even admitted he baited Van Perise into it - meaning he was trying to get him in trouble, meaning he would have no problem exaggerating it to make sure Van Persie got into trouble. It's no surprise fans of other sports make fun of football players so much when they act like immature little boys (Van Persie), or weak little girls (Sorensen). Great goals Goose.

Van Persie is a piece of work. The lad is as talented as they come, but his head is...I don't know how to describe it. My English isn't good enough. @Bart, what would you do if you were a goalkeeper and were attacked by a moron on prozac for no good reason when you already have 16 fresh stitches in your head from last weeks game?
