He's lunging, he's going into him. Because he's scored, they've let it go."He's lunged, he's out of control.

He's trying to make a block but he's never going to get there. If that's in the middle of the park, that's a red card."Former referee Dermot Gallagher did not agree, however, insisting that the challenge was not, in fact, a red-card offence and that the consequence of the tackle should not override the nature of it."I can't see that he's done anything that a footballer wouldn't," he explained.

He's slightly late... it's not a red card. He's unlucky, but he is always going to see red.
