People in glass houses

I love that all footballers have short memories.

Richard Dunne: "I didn't see [France's world cup exit] but I did laugh. Henry admitted afterwards he handled it, but it doesn't make me feel any better. We were cheated."

Strong words. It's a good job he's never handballed it himself:

At Ewood Park, Richard Dunne… deliberately handled in the box in a huge turning point in Aston Villa's defeat to Blackburn.

Referee Alan Wiley seemed to lose control somewhat as tempers flared and Everton were left incensed on several occasions, including when former player Richard Dunne handled a Leighton Baines cross in the area but no penalty was awarded.

From Radostin Kishishev's free-kick, Walton ruled that Richard Dunne had handled the ball and awarded a penalty.
