    Was a very nasty one just because you like him doesn't mean you have to make excuses for it

    Definitely a moment of madness and deserving of a red.

    But we all do stupid things on a pitch and I think by his reaction after the card was shown he was on the verge of tears.

    Howe needs to sit him down show him that and drum it in that its unacceptable, not to mention hurts the team.

    Looked like he meant it to me ... he's been getting carried away celebrating tackles etc.. Great player love his attitude but the reds been coming.

    I can't say too much on it like because I was saying for years our midfielders were soft as **** and I wanted some metal.

    Him and Joe are nutters and I like it.

    Just less crippling tackles please.

    His passion is both his strength and weakness. It was stupid but hopefully he will learn.

    Bad time to lose Bruno, next 3/4 games could really put us in poll position, 12-15 points a strong possibility

    Who is making excuses?

    Just don’t see the merit of your comment ‘it’s been coming’.

    Dreadful tackle and if it wasn't him he'd be getting rinsed by the fans...

    He was at it vs fulham he's been showing the tell tale signs of a player on the edge ..that's my opinion and its happened.

    Needs to calm down..

    Disagree. He’s always had an ‘edge’. It’s part of his make up and probably part of what makes him the player he is. If a player is like that then occasionally he goes too far. Not good but I wouldn’t get him to change.

    Bruno was partly riled tonight because the ref rasn't giving obvious free kicks. Bruno got kicked and shoved loads of times. They basically got to him and he got wound up. But the ref allowed it.

    It's no excuse. I'm saying what happened. He got wound up, I said that. He let the team down. But the ref never had a grip on the game.

    What happened was he committed a very nasty foul with malice...I get it he's a great player we all like, but just be real.. he needs to calm down or it'll happen again.

    Lost his head

    Lost his head? Yes
    Reckless / careless? Yes
    Malicious? No, I don't think so.

    He was frustrated and trying too hard. Definite red card and yes he needs to calm down without losing his grit in midfield
