Well, I would hope that any fourth official would get involved if they saw a player elbow or punch another player off the ball, and the fact he did so does suggest he clearly saw it. So if Butler did so, the fourth official was spot on to call the ref over and to get him sent off, and Butler should not have done it.

However, to go against that I did also make the point during the game about how many players who get elbowed or punched don't go down, and the majority of the ground were totally oblivious to the incident, even the aftermath, as nobody went down or made a meal of it. Which does make me wonder whether it was one of the cases where a shirt is being pulled and a player (Butler) swings his arm to escape it, and in this case either the guy doing so thought fair enough he deserved it, or wasn't actually contacted. If that is the case then no wonder the fourth official isn't in the middle and is clearly a fussy twat who was bullied as the shit child he blatantly was :).
