At the time I didn't even think it was a booking, but I stand corrected after watching this, perhaps the ref did know what he was doing!

and he's not a ""w*nker and we dont "always get shit refs" ;)

Wow, never knew so many on here have a real inferiority complex. It seems we don't trust our own players to make tackles any more.

Dangerous play and free-kick? Maybe. Red card? No way.

Most of the Kop didn't think so either. For the rest of the game, it was as animated as it has been all season.

Rosenior's challenge was no better nor worse then Danns' which you claimed it to be as Cunningham got injured, that is the only difference between them, McKenna was lucky where Cunningham wasn't.

To claim than Rosenior was was just because someone actually got hurt is just plain stupid

How is it plain stupid to argue that Rosenior's challenge, which broke Cunningham's leg was no worse than Danns' tackle, which didn't make any contact with McKenna?

Danns' lunge was a dismissal, but McKenna wasn't lucky whatsoever. Danns simply made little, if any contact with him at all.

Because you are plainly too stupid to realise the potential risk, the only thing worse was the outcome, if Danns misses the ball, which he could so easily of done, then BOTH feet would of smashed into McKenna's legs at fairly high speed and a lot of force and WOULD of broken his legs, which is EXACTLY why it was just as bad as Rosenior's.

A two-footed tackle is a coward's tackle, had Danns flew in with a 1 footed slide tackle then neither man would of batted an eye-lid but instead he leapt in with 2 feet in a stamp tackle

Oh because the Kop thinks it isn't a red, then the referee is totally wrong.

Clear red, as people have already said, if that was McKenna our fans would want him banned from football for life.

At the time I thought he'd given the ref some verbals and that's why he went. It seemed an age between the tackle and the red card.

only because of the players surrounding him and he didn't do it because of the Hull player's either, as soon as he gave the foul he was going to send him off

The games gone soft - just looked like two players determined to win the ball. We've been crying out for a bit of steel in midfield and as soon as Danns shows a bit of passion people suggest he is reckless.

Yes, i'm clearly too stupid to realise the potential risk.

Which is why you're arguing a theoretical point about something that didn't happen, if Danns missed the ball then he would have broken McKenna's leg.

But he didn't miss the ball and he didn't break McKenna's leg.

Christ, if we applied your logic then all tackles would be sendings off on the basis that, if he missed the ball, he would have brought him down for a penalty etc.

Danns' tackle was full-blooded, over-zealous and mis-timed but it was in no way malicious.

If i was Nigel Pearson and he bottled that tackle, (like Gallagher does) i'd have been absolutely fuming along with 20-odd thousand City fans.

Like i've mentioned previously, by the laws of the modern game it's a red card, unfortunately.

But i didn't think it was that bad.

I, personally, don't think it's as bad as some people on here are suggesting.

The ball is there to be won, he's just a little over-zealous.

It's a clumsy challenge, undoubtedly, but he doesn't make any contact with Rosenior.

If both players had actually played the ball the referee would've waved play on, but you can't tackle with 'aggressive force' in the modern game.

I think 10 years ago, that would've been a booking at most.

Yeah ten years ago. Times have changed. Like scouse said and like I said if the boot was on the other foot....

If you're going to go in for a loose ball, don't do it two footed. It's been a no-no for a LONG time now.

THIS!

Are you seriously calling Danns a coward? If so, you really have lost the plot.

Look at the replay again. Danns has his eye on the ball throughout - hardly the act of someone intent on crippling his opponent.

I'm not saying he wanted to hurt the guy but players often use both feet when they are worried about getting hurt themselves, there's a difference between doing something cowardly and being a coward

Stop being thick, nobody is saying that. It was a reckless and stupid and dangerous. If you have your standing leg on the ground and tackle with the other like their man did you are in control of your body weight, the force and the tackle. If you tackle with 2 feet, off the ground like Danns did, you have no control over anything and are putting another players career at risk for no reason.

Most refs would have given a booking at most. I recall several games this season where our players have been the victims of deliberate and full-blown assaults (Birmingham and Brighton away come to mind) and the perpetrators have got away with yellow cards.

50/50 tackle, didn't really get the ball but the player got straight back up so I think there was no need sending him off, yellow at the most but hull players pressured him!

After seeing that though we won't appeal i think
