Quote: LesT "Let me clarify what I posted.
Howell did lead with his forearm with the intention of knocking the ball out, but rode up over the ball into Tomkins jaw. (have a look in slow motion frame by frame)
I still agree it deserved a red card, I don’t think he intended to make contact with the head.'"
not in a million years was he going for the ball mate, absolutely no intent but to nail tomkins.
Am i correct in thinking that the referee had already blown for a penalty? I'm sure i heard the whilstle but then things kicked off so quickly.
