I'm in East Yellows and I saw Bailey run a fair distance and go into the back of Christophe. Couldn't really see the extent of Christophes reaction as players were in the way but I could see Baileys face and nothing touched it. A disgraceful reaction from Bailey and if the linesman didn't see it when we did at the back of the stand then he shouldn't be an official at this level.
I am in East Reds and that's what I saw to. I am not sure whether the Linesman would have seen the whole incident, Bailey managed to keep his back to the lino and may of prevented him seeing the "push" but could miss the delayed reaction. However, I would have thought that the 4th official would have seen it as he would have had a better angle. Bailey made a point of running over to JFC (some 20yds) and I thought lead with his elbow into Jeffs back pushing him down to prevent the quick free kick and allow in Patto and Vernon.
There did seem to be lighting and a camera on the scaffold in the corner between the East and North Stands, but if there were a reporter in the for Sky etc they may well not have had the camera in use for the game.
