Take a look when the highlights come out... I didn't think it was anywhere near a red card, soft decision in my opinion

It was a no arms shoulder charge to the jaw & whether you agree with the red or not the laws say anywhere near shoulder & head is dangerous & red - whether you agree or not that's the laws

That's what I'm hearing Louise

Came in from the side and smashed the guys jaw. Ref has no choice but to go red. Will probably didn't have a good angle if he's saying it's a soft call

Will Rymer

Well, maybe it was dangerous but on first glance it didn't look like a red card offence to me but I understand if it's the law however I think that the decision makers should have more of a feel for the game. looks like someone else has been sent off for the same thing

The second red was worse than the first one the second one was a shoulder charge straight into the head!

Are we surprised, coming from the Argies??

Will Rymer

Yes I agree that one was worse than the first but I really don't know if a red is necessary yellow would be fine

Louise Pugh

I did think the first one was a bit harsh but the second was def a red

Will Rymer

Fair enough, I guess you've got to have consistency so ref had no choice on 2nd one. I think he might have taken what the TMO said a bit out of context for the first one though
