Stupid tackle, but in the context of the game that should never be a red.
So you're saying that two identical tackles, in different matches, should be treated differently? Give over. It was a stupid tackle by Adebayor and fully deserved the red card.

Agreed. And a great cross by
Not in comparison to another game, but given there had be little to no fouls and no yellow cards up to that point it's harsh to send somebody off for being a split second late.
The ref should do all he can to ensure the game remains 11v11. I know I'd be annoyed if Aguero or Tevez were sent off for a similar tackle this afternoon. Had he gone into that challenge to do him then fair enough, but it was just late and clumsy rather than malicious, IMO.
