I remember a few years ago Son (spurs) getting sent off following a challenge that left an opponent badly injured. This is because the ref saw the result of the challenge. In the days that followed his red card was rescinded because the contact and subsequent serious injury was completely accidental. The moral of the story apparently was not to judge a challenge by the outcome. When I saw the Martinez challenge in the game tonight I actually winced. If he makes contact with the opponent he gets a red card in my view but this is a case where the outcome of the challenge was not significant but could have been, so I think the the ref judges it on the outcome and not the act of jumping 2 footed towards an opponent. I will say though that only Martinez will know for sure what he was doing and what he intended.

As a 0-0 game, on last, there was never going to be much time to analyse it.
2 things though.
They looked at the Trafford Tramps Summer signings.
They never added them up to the c.£200 million spent though - why ?
Also, as Martinez just got to the ball first, a yellow was probably the correct card.
But, they should have asked the basic question, why did Martinez completely "jump in" ?
He is a dirty, dangerous player who seems to get away with it...

Because of the shirt he wears.
