Quote: rhinoms "My own view was'nt about taking a "kicker" out late it's that it was proffesional foul and warranted an automatic yellow especially as Delaney got binned against the Bulls for much less.'"
I think the Delaney yellow was unwarranted. I'm not 'up-in-arms' about the Quins player not being binned - I think it was a 50/50 call and on another day, he could have been sent to the bin.
The kick was too strong from Smith and there were another couple of defenders in attendance. Like you said though, it was cynical and unnecessary. You could argue it both ways.
