[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 907713, member: 72942"] I’m being deliberately contentious. The rules around dangerous play and subsequent sanctions has become whimsically subjective and far too open to individual interpretation. There is no doubt about the red card decision. The ref has no choice because the them is the rules. I’m not anti AB either I just believe that there were two high-ish tackles (neck head area) around 21min mark that you and I might say there’s nothing in it as in- play incidents but another individual who is sufficiently informed may interpret it differently. I get there are guidelines but I think TRF_Olyy says it best - “Accidental play leading to an injury is not a red card offence Apart from when it is” I don’t know what the solution is but let’s face it the red card has ensured an AB result which fundamentally ruins the best competitive narrative that we want from a game.
