Poor decision. Ref has been crap all afternoon. Linesman can't even do his own job properly and thinks he can get involved. Potentially ruined this game.
Mirallas pushed Tomkins in the chest yesterday, so that is violent conduct, did he get sent off? No.
Mason put his head into Benteke against Spurs, to which he reacted, did he get sent off? No.
Jack Wilshere put his head into Fellaini's chest yesterday whilst trying to act the hardman, did he get sent off? No.
Lack of consistency with this 'violent conduct' nonsense. It's a contact sport, and although Gaston 'flicked' his leg at Vertonghen, he was stood on initially, which went unpunished.
Kane with another! remember how he got ridiculed when linked with saints, Spurs would be stupid to sell him!
Hull are in a very defensive mode. It's only Spurs ineptitude that is stopping them from scoring.
Your reasoning is flawed. Someone shouldn't get sent off because previous incidents went unpunished or unnoticed? What utter bollocks. Every single incident isn't going to be seen or dealt with correctly. You seem to think referees should get every single decision right. Every week when I referee I get shouted at and moaned at for not giving something or giving a goal kick instead of a corner and I'm sick of the attitude of people that referee's don't have the right to miss things or have bad games. And a shove in the chest isn't violent conduct.
I do think refs should take into account how aggressive / dangerous a particular act is. Beckham's was nothing in the scheme of violent acts and did no harm at all. This one was even softer. Far worse things get nothing, or a yellow. For example, kicking a player in the ankle as he goes past to break up play is a kick, not a bad tackle, but is almost always given as a yellow. Rooney getting red for kicking a thigh really just highlights the weird workings of our rule system. A kick is a kick.
By this ruling, of course, my Sunday career would have seen a record haul of reds...

Livermore has just made a challenge that is apparently more dangerous than Ramirez's [Didn't see that one]. Livermore is on a yellow card. Punishing him properly would put Hull on 9 men.
BBC match stats showing spurs with 72% possession. Only 50% of the goals and the points so far though.
Whisky stays in the cupboard. Hull go on the attack. Too late chaps. Shouldn't have defended so deep. Bruce made a mistake in my opinion, of taking off Ben Arfa.
