It should have been a red card, but Atkinson had no chance of seeing it from the way he was blocked off.
But he gave a yellow though??...
I've not seen it but did it perhaps fall into the category where he has seen the incident but not the whole incident? We've all seen those decisions where the close up or a different angle has shown studs being scraped down a shin or whatever has been missed that 'complete' the incident and turn it from a yellow to red, had that part also have been seen. Maybe it wasn't and I'm just chatting rubbish, wouldn't be the first time and I doubt it will be the last, but just asking if that was perhaps the case here?
