Is that the first red of the season in one of our games? Ugly challenge, though I don't think that he meant it to be.
It's absolutely a red card. Whether you win the ball is immaterial if you go in two-footed like that. Edit: worth noting that the Arsenal board isn't exactly contesting the decision...two-footed is two-footed.
Just seen it now. How on earth can you say it wasn't a red? 2 feet, studs showing. You need to take a good look at the laws of the game.
Much like Wes Brown on Gaston - who cares if he got a slight toe on it, he threw his studs into Gaston's ankle.
