Emre racially abusing Didier Zokora and getting what was coming to him.

This is kinda my point, maybe it’s because I went to St.Illtyd’s in the 70’s, but to me, those tackles, whilst robust, don’t constitute physical assault or battery.
Hiding in the car park and beating the shit out of him would’ve been.
Even the kick in the bollocks was deemed a yellow by the ref.

Then you need to look up the definition of assault and battery because that's exactly what was in the video.
