I don't understand. How can it be a fair challenge if the other player had his leg broken?

Was 10 yards from it, definitely 50/50 challenge. If Calde has broken his leg it would have been a red to their player. Madness.

I haven't seen it since, but it was a completely fair challenge. Could have gone either way.

100% 50/50 challenge I was right in front of it heard it snap. Couldn't believe that fat clown nonce pulled the red out.
Pure guess work from the worst officials at the Amex for a good while

Calde won ball, other player came flying in? Should have been a red to the Newport player but obviously didn't have the balls to send off an injured player.

At the time I thought Calde was late making the challenge.

Probably the worst red card decision since beckfords for Leicester down here, or barnes v burnley.

I saw it and thought Anthony was the aggressor, just happened to come of worse. A very unfortunate outcome to at worst a clumsy challenge. Sounded horrid though...

You can't send players off based on the level of injury, otherwise some shocking challenges would go completely unpunished.
I'd very much like to see a replay, but from my seat it looked like a 50/50 ball which Calderon has been red carded because (1) someone has broken a leg and (2) Justin Edinburgh made a big fuss about it.

I heard it too - from the North Stand. Ouch.
