It was not. If that is then football has gone soft. I know these days

Any tackle vaguely like that is greeted with gasps and we won’t get it overturned because it’s not a clear error but that red was very, very harsh and was due to their players causing a fuss as much as anything else.

It’s not the sort of dangerous two footed lunge that deserves a red. If you watch it from the side his feet come through at different times.
