was he?
from memory watching it live he was down for the entire first brawl because the referee took ages to give cards because he got a physio over to look at rufer and then turned his attention to Bilen and Doyle (at which point Bilen and gulley were at loggerheads)
I have not seen the incident regarding Rufer
If he was head-butted as alleged, and this caused him to fall over "as if shot", and he remained on the ground for some time, in the interests of legitimacy, should he have not been taken from the field for a concussion test? Or if he got up and played as if nothing had happened, it would show to me that he is a pretty poor actor and should be playing in South America.

I believe the reason for Bilen's action was was because Rufer racially sledged him.
That is a pretty big accusation to make without any proof to back yourself up..
