Not a red for me. Yes the point of contact is high with studs showing however he only brushes the defender and there's minimal contact and so for me does not tick the boxes for a dangerous challenge and he isn't out of control either. If the contact had been more substantial then I would have accepted a red card.
So it’s pot luck for you then? Dive in however you want and see what happens?? Heads I get the ball tails I snap his leg.
That’s how it will be if these challenges are only sanctioned depending on how bad they turn out to be. Outlaw these type of challenges regardless and we won’t be spinning the coin.
No that's not what I'm saying. If he had flown in to the challenge and was out of control even if he had won the ball then I would have been fine with a red being produced. I just don't see the one tonight as a dangerous challenge or a red card. If you believe it should be a red then that's up to you.
With respect that is exactly what you are saying even if you didn’t mean to make that point. A studs up challenge with the foot off the floor over the top of the ball is dangerous and whether someone gets hurt as a result of it depends on which side the coin lands.
Well clearly you are misinterpreting what i'm saying. I did not say tackles like that are pot luck and that it's a flip of the coin on whether the player is injured and I never want to see someone get injured from any form of tackle especially a two-footed tackle. What I said is that i don't believe it's a red card for the reasons I have stated in my previous post.
