I'm probably completely right ..... but this was absolutely the first thing that came into my head when Duffy got sent off and when I woke up this morning :lolol:

No........ I don't think so. People get sent off for the most innocuous headbutts - and rightly so. If Hemed deliberately trod on the Newcastle player he was rightly banned - but it wasn't particularly dangerous

Aren't we going backwards a bit there though, ascribing intent to Mounie's foul? fwiw I'm inclined to believe exactly the same as you, and more pertinently believe that Oliver thought that too, but many on here want to tell us that we can't ascribe intent to 'leave one on your opponent' so all...

I fully accept that intent is not written in the law..... but we have found ourselves in a world where Mounie mistimes a tackle, tries to withdraw his foot and catches Bissouma not at pace; or where Stephens goes in 50-50 with a Cardiff player, wins the ball and catches the late-arriving Cardiff...

So if you tread on someone by accident and tread on someone deliberately they are both identical offences? Wonder why the club bothered appealing Hemed's charge for stamping last year?

OK, so this 'intent' thing... I struggle to see how intent is taken away, both in theory and in practice. Take two stamping incidents of recent vintage, Hemed on the Newcastle player and Barton on Kayal. In bioh cases, if the player intentionally stamped on the guy on the ground, red card all...

I didn't say that the ref was determining it based on intent. I'm saying that if there was no intent it was a mistimed tackle by Mounie, which should in my opinion be a yellow card. If there was intent, then Mounie was kicking out at Bissouma, which is violent conduct / serious foul play, and...

For me its all about intent. If he is genuinely trying to win the ball, then for me its a yellow. I still think Stephens at Cardiff was a yellow and Stephens at Boro wasn't even a foul, but even if you accept that Stephens should have got a red at Cardiff I still think Mounie's was a yellow...
