A damn site more than you
Tripping was an automatic--and that is the key word--sending off offence even if it was a reaction thing, i.e.getting caught wrong footed rather than malicious, but that was changed many many years ago.
FWIW I believe that the old rule should be brought back and ALL trips should merit a red card but that aint the rule now.
