Interesting that ex top ref Graham Poll said when he first saw it he thought yellow. Then after speaking with two current top international refs he was told 'in Europe it's a red'

Fact is you cannot get away with that type of action in Europe and a player on cica £100k per week - a professional at a top club, should have known this.

Is it a different game played with different rules in Europe then?

[stoop]

You know as well as I do that players in the UK get away with far more than those in Europe. You only have to fart in Euro games to get a booking.

I'm not sayings its right or wrong but remember the little 'flick' that Beckham got a red for? Would he have got red in the Premier? No way.

Same game but the rules on high / dangerous tackles are more strictly adhered to in Europe/Internationals.

So - it's a red in FIFA's eyes and probably only a yellow in the eyes of the FA.

That's the reality.
