    "That spot-kick was awarded after referee Simon Hooper harshly adjudged Matt Mills to have fouled Aaron Mclean in the area and dished out a second dismissal of the season for the Leicester skipper."

    wow Edit: I just read further down the page:
    "Mclean broke through on goal only for Mills to make a superb block and as Mclean got up for a second attempt, he appeared to slip over with Mills nowhere near."

    If you mean by the word harsh then by all accounts Mills tackle was great, but he flicked his leg out afterwards to bring him down. Not seen it myself apart from at the game - just going off what I have read

    My son watched on a stream. He said that the first tackle was a good tackle but the second hack was a pen.

    Having seen the FLS it was a defnite penalty and red card. Mills' first tackle was a good challenge, but he stupidly kicked his leg out at Mclean.

    Was a great challenge the first attempt, but definitely took him down with the second challenge, really don't hunk mills will have any complaints.

    That's exactly how I saw it, even NP said that he had no complaint about the penalty.
