Red card everytime. Cant believe its actually up for debate

Correct decision.

We'll soon have a surplus of match officials if these posts are anything to go by.

The future looks bright with all games being well covered

Aye but half of them have already called this one wrong.

Surely there's enough to criticise the refs about, like not sending players off for dangerous play, or getting a decision totally back to front, without splitting hairs over this?? It was direct first contact to the head, after all. At the very, very least, it was a yellow, but if it looked bad enough for a red in real-time to JC then you can't really moan.

So, let me get this right, in your twisted little world no one's allowed to criticise referees unless they're willing to be a referee?

Is that what you're saying?

Everyone hates Salford, we're all just jealous of the success their rich owner has brought to them......erm !!!

I was surprised he gave a red but in the context of the rule book it was the correct decision.

Agreed. My initial thought was yellow but it's bad enough to be borderline red card.

If the context of the rule book is applied in every game for every team then I don't have a problem. The problem is it's not and the rule book only applies to certain teams. I look forward to games with 10 men a side...

Scott grix hit escare's head with the shoulder, surely if the rule book is followed it should had been a red

And as we all know there isn't 2 refs in the land who apply the same decision/rules 2 games running !
