So was wasn't Sterling sent off against Swansea.

sm if you are refereeing a game and get a clear view of the sterling incident wouldnt you be reaching for a card, i would and i think it would be red

It was petulance from Sterling and he was a little lucky to get away with it.

as I said before he was lucky. He certainly asks the ref to make a decision.

If it was one of my games then it kind of depends on the temperature of the game at the time. It could be a red, it could be a serious ticking off - depending on what the game needed.
