EPL Norwich v Burnley

[bazzer9461]

Listening to the football commentary one of the commentators for the first red card “ didn’t come down hard “ after the Norwich player led with his elbow and forearm into the back of the Burnley players neck, and The 2nd a red card a two footed challenge On a Burnley player no there wasn’t much contact, bloody hell where do they come from.

 

[Sarge]

Both were straight reds imo

1st one i don't think was a straight red, yes his arm came down on the back of his head/neck but with no force at all, Burnley player make's a meal of it.
2nd one yes, not much contact but dived in with a two footed tackle. one of those that could of caused a bad injury.

Not being funny Rosie but he led with the forearm so there was intent there as well

Play acting at it's best Barry, which is all to common in the modern game He was sent of by the player's reaction.

No, it was the intent.

But Rosie if someone led with their forearm and he wasn’t falling it’s the intent and the referee only looked once at the incident using VAR and he was convinced.
