Unbelievable.

Anybody who has ever played a game of football (even at the s**ttest level) can see that he's deliberately trying to block a run, nothing more than that.

He doesn't throw out an elbow to try and smack the guy in the face.

If we're retrospectively giving red cards for pathetic things like this, I'm assuming there will be loads of examples of this happening? Or at least, there will be from a lot of games from now on.
