Some of these "fouls" that get called just because he slid in a got a little piece of the player are weak. That said, just saw the tackle on Walcott and that was too much. Can't take a line straight at the player and go through him like that. Should have been a yellow at least. This video shows Walcott walking off and playing at least a little bit more though. Surprised he's out for a month. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OOONiByvBs&feature=player_embedded 95% of the time I support the “he got the ball” excuse.

It's a ridiculous notion.
