That's a shit rule.  They are saying on BT that if he had deliberately gone for the ball and brought him down, it would have been a yellow. But an accidental clip is a red.

To be fair, I thought Luiz had pulled him back. Actually think the red card is harsh. 

Letter of the law isn’t it?

Why? He stopped a goal scoring opportunity. Just don’t touch him.

Stupid in this case, odd how an accidental trip would have more of a punishment than if Luiz had cleaned him whilst attempting to get the ball.

Subjective call ?

Exactly - it is a bizarre rule

the only contact is Jose’s trailing leg clipping Luizs knee. Very harsh pen

[Ian Nacho]

Apparently arsenal still have their lead

 

[Finnegan]

Is Darke alright?

 

He's just said Arsenal have a one goal lead still, earlier he said it was 1 - 1 in the other game after the opening goal. There was a moment he almost seemed to notice both times and could have just corrected himself and nobody would have cared.

 

Just steamrolled through both times

yeah that's all i see. pen yes but a straight red for him just running naturally? seems harsh to me.

[Finnegan]

My word

[Vacamion]

 

Great goal.

 

Now don't do it again for ages.  

[RowlattsFox]

Great strike 

[trabuch]

Oh I say

[sdb]

Wow

[Finnegan]

Absolutely thrilled to see Wolves in with a good shout of ending their winless run.

 

Desperately need them to have won before they play us.

They were shite in that first half. Could've been 3 down but handed a gift

More as in any attempt at playing the ball would mean it's limited at a yellow, but an accidental clip makes it a red. 

[Finnegan]

****ing hate that so much.

 

He's fouled TWICE there and tries to stay on his feet both times. He can't get a good shot off on balance so there's no advantage, that's a penalty.

 

If you want to end diving - and we've ALL got to want to end diving - you've GOT to reward players that try to stay on their feet by still giving blatant fouls on them.
