Classic case of a ref thinking he made too many decisions one way then over reacting the other. Oh well, another test for this team. 

Thats 100% why thats a red no other reason

[The Doctor]

That probably gets overturned on appeal right? He's an idiot to make that challenge when the ref is a melt and under pressure from the freaks in the ground but it's not a red

How is Fatawu’s a red… tell me? 

Because he is off his feet. 

[StonyFox]

Not a straight red. But if you're giving the ref a chance to give a red, it your own fault. Just so unnecessary after taking the lead.

[Jaspa]

When the ball is bobbling around, multiple tackles and someone flies in at force you often see reds given. He's off the floor, lots of momentum. The Cov lad did well to spin with it, their fans and players up in arms and it's a hastily made decision.

 

Will be a tough second half - O'Hare & Sakamoto were causing problems. They don't have a striker on the pitch yet. Need to dig deep now, fans and players.

[EnglishOxide]

Fatawu gets a red for excessive force. 

 

The Cov defender gets a yellow for  dangerous play and being last man.

 

Make it make sense. 

[trugerkem]

No penalty for me and ref evened it up by giving a red for a yellow card offence 

[murphy]

So... if you're Enzo, what now?  How do we shuffle the pack?

[fuchsntf]

I can’t argue at first he left the floor diving in..

[Tazfox]

Not sure Fatawus is a red but the pen definitely felt like one, he's planted his studs half way up KDHs thigh..  cynical but VAR may have sorted both decisions

No he isn’t, it is studs down and a challenge you see nearly every match

Stupid tackle and unnecessary from Fatawu but I'm not convinced its a straight red. His studs weren't high. 

A couple of people have said that he's a red waiting to happen and there it is but I think that gets overturned if we have VAR, it's not high. If thats a red, so is the pen.

[David Hiorns]

It’s a red for the pen, out of control, injured the player, off the ground, studs up, it’s a clear pen. It’s a yellow for Abdul. Trying to win the ball, forceful challenge, studs not up. I said the ref would even things up as the atmos is toxic and he’s not man enough for it. 

[Supergray22]

Referee got the penalty right. Reckless challenge with studs up waist high. He went with the wrong leg. Actually catches kdh studs up when he takes an evasive jump. As for Fatawu it was a rash and poorly timed challenge but never a red. It wasn’t as bad as the penalty. Referee lost it there to appease the crowd. 

[trabuch]

On the brightside - it will be interesting to see how Enzo deals with this situation. 

[JimJams]

At least the studio crew got the pen call right.

OK, your opinion. I disagree as did the ref. 

[Fear Of The Fox]

It's simple:

Born after 2000? It's a red. 

Born before 2000? It's a yellow. 

Born before 1980? It's a warning by the ref because it was his first tackle. 

Game is destroyed. Sport is becoming a joke. Sorry, it's already a joke.

Pictures and slow motion always tell a worse story - if you’ve ever played then how do you realistically expect him to not follow through with his leg? Literally talking milliseconds from after he won the ball. 

[ealingfox]

Nigel thinks it was a red for both so there's the objectively correct answer. 

[Dahnsouff]

Yep, on review, both definitely red

[Sly]

[sishades]

Big Nigell says it was a red on both sides. He has spoken!

Leicester will win that appeal for that red.

 

It was a normal slide tackle reckless not dangerous 

I don’t think so - it’s the exact example of the sort of tackle the rule makers are trying to eradicate.
