It was after Boateng had fouled half the Chelsea team, Ballack had fouled him and Ballack had give him a bit if a slap.
In a normal game Ballack would have walked for what he did. But half of the Pompey team would have already picked up yellow cards (and someone probably got a red too) so the refs leniency on Ballack was only in-line with the way Portsmouth were being treated.
