It's a fact it's studs up, it's a fact it makes contact on the ankle and rides up his shin, and it's a fact he's lunged in so I don't know what you're disagreeing with.

He ticks every single box for a referee to think he's endangered a player's safety and that's a straight red.

It has been confirmed he got a red for DAGSO not for endangering a players safety, had he not prevented a gso, the decision would not have been a red, so you are wrong.

I have no idea what the correlation is between having a social conscience and a ref making an dubious decision.

1 decision????
I'm seeing shite happen in almost every game.

DOGSO. Denial Of a Goals Scoring Opportunity.

And it's a red twice over as I said.

One last thought

If it had been in the area, he may have given a penalty, but no way would he have sent him off.

We’d know for sure if it were DOGSO or serious foul play, the former would have got a yellow and the latter a red.

Fortunately the 2 referees covering the match tonight do.

They know that malice has nothing to do with a tackle being a red card, nor does making contact with the ball.

They probably even know that making a tackle that means you're inevitably going studs up into the ankle of an opposition player when through on goal is a red twice over.

Looking at the standard they probably think the game has rules as well clueless.

Foden didn't get to the ball afterwards, so it couldn’t be DOGSO in that case if the ref thought he touched the ball.

That was a penalty as he didn’t touch it though.

Fair point (I couldn't remember if Foden would have got to the ball or not) but with today's officials it should have still been a penalty though as even if he had touched it, he still caught the player after and therefore it was a foul.

I think the ref is a Portsmouth fan. That would explain most of the decisions tonight!

Because he wouldn't have been denied a goal scoring opportunity.

"Studs up" has been bastardised to within an inch of it's life/meaning

Maybe not!
