Maybe but the ref and linesman missed what Elima did but did not miss 1 punch from MM.

Watched it again on SLTV, doesn't seem much in it from Mickeys point of view, so I would hope just 1 match, don't think he will get sending of sufficient. Elima should be up before the panel for the elbows though.

I think he held both cards up as it looked yellow and Micky actually sat on the bench before being told to go down the tunnel, but when the ref was putting the card away it was definitely red that was pointed towards the East as I was confused until he went down the tunnel.

it certainly looked red from the south

And the East.

Where in the East? Behind the play or infront? It looked yellow to me on the half way line until he turned it round to put in his pocket and MM obviously thought yellow as he sat on the bench.

I'm on the half way line as well and could see it was red. Few people around me were a bit confused, they were all quite old though

it was red from the north stand

Answers that one then

I always thought the red card was oval shaped while the yellow card is rectangle. If I am right this couldn't happen, but it wouldn't be the first time that I am wrong.

I thought it was green.....................damn this colour blindness !!!

This could be the explanation but the red side was definitely facing McIlorum, hence why everyone in the South saw that it was red. If he was holding the yellow card behind the red one then it might explain why everyone who was behind the direction the ref was holding it (ie past the 30m line in the east) thought it was yellow.

I was in the south, the ref only showed one card, a red one.

i think some refs do use the diffrent shaped cards, but don't they also keep the cards in diffrent pockets, when he binned Pryce i'm sure the card came from his front pocket, with MM the ref definitely went to his back pocket.
