Two footed = instant red

[gerrygowsjockstrap]

Been reading a few match reports from different newspapers. Not one mentions Maxi's 2 footer. Wish it had of been on SKY. Just to hear Neville go on about it. FA must surely now use video evidence to give a red card.

No coverage of the two footed tackle today then? Getting quite pissed off with media/fa now

No gifs of it that Ive seen, there were a million of Balos 5 mins after it happened.

I don't think Maxi should have been sent off, but its the consistency of it all that really annoys me.

I doubt it, because Halsey saw it. He mustn't have checked his inbox for a message from Mike Riley.

agger did exactly the same tackle that vinnie did on wellbeck, it was a poor tackle and wasn't even booked

An imminent instruction from referees’ chief Mike Riley will apply to Manchester City whether or not there is contact or injury to an opponent — and even if the ball is won first.

Will this new ruling effectively end Nigel's career in the English Premier League. If I was in his shoes, I would seriously consider playing somewhere else. After all, his perfectly timed, sliding tackle is his trade mark.

That could have easily broken Giggs' ankle had his foot been planted on the ground, straight red in my book, not even a yellow, unbelievable.
Can't for the life of me figure out how Skyrtel and Austin don't get sent off every other game. A pair of nasty thugs in my opinion.
