If his feet are as wayward as his hands in terms of aim then him and Maupay will get on great!

I thought it was expressed as deliberate rather than intent in violent conduct. i.e. a non-deliberate hand to the face would be someone falling over and trying to balance. However, this was a deliberate action - he meant to swing his arm at the player and he did swing his arm at the player...

So his arm swung out involuntary, in a spasm? The force was not negligible, it was an aggressive action. It is a red in today's game. I don't like it but neither do I like players diving when feeling a brush on the arm. But that resulted in a penalty in this same game.

Yes we are, for as long as daftness continues. Red cards for tackles are rarely intended to connect with the opponents leg, but they result in a red regardless. A stamp on a leg maybe intended to protect the ball (dahoud) but when they connect its a red. FFS, JP brushed a shoulder with his hand...

The intention is irrelevant. He swung his arm at an opponent in an off the ball incident and hit him.in the face. Red card, no question.

It was far more of a something than the contact for the penalty! Only an awful dive 'won' that. VAR were not at the game it seems.
