Letter of the law and all that but I felt gutted for him at the time. Don't know if Joan conveyed this adequately but that's the only time I can remember a dismissed player receiving an ovation from all 4 sides of the ground. Bit surreal.
I didn't get that....I was baffled as to why our fans gave him an ovation? I missed the challenge as my daughter was mithering me. I looked up when everyone around me jumped up.
Was it actually a foul and should have been a yellow or was it never a foul to begin with?
It was a foul, left his leg in. Yellow maybe, but under the letter of the law he was the last defender(the keeper was about 8 yards behind him, how many defenders do you want to put there?) and therefore a red. Stupid rule, stupid dismissal and the refs should have more sense than this.
