It was completely different.

If Blair had just come in and sucker punched Burns then fair enough.

It's not a carbon copy, however if the HRK player had knocked Burns on his backside with a single punch would he have gotten a red card to Burns' yellow?

Had Garbutt's punch not been so good and Tamou was able to swing back would they have both gotten yellows?

According to Stuart Cummings on Twitter after the game - yes! Here is his direct quote

SC: I suppose it's the quality of the punches that counts. Man-to-man confrontation usually ends up a sin bin.

I see that Leeds fans have jumped on their high horse and are now up in arms about Liam Farrell.

Meanwhile scrolling through this forum reveals many of the SAME fans were justifying and defending Mitch Garbutt for punching a man who wasnt looking!

...and your point is???

Pacific, this was my contribution to this thread, seeing as i have several posts on the Farrell thread can you please point out who is actually defending Garbutt?

clown

Jesus wept.

There's no hope for you is there? Do you get told off for wearing cherry n white blinkers on at school / work?
