Very odd decision from the ref.

Wes Browns red. No wonder Gus was upset!

In real time it looks similar to the out of control tackles now outlawed, regardless of whether he wins the ball and the other player gets out of the way.

Thats what I mean
Very poor decision. Really odd.
The Bolasie one was also very harsh. But funny.

Shocking decision but probably on course to lose anyway.

Both the Brown and Bolasie cards were harsh...but funny!
Politically correct refereeing again. Looked bad, so off he goes. Gus has a point, although he is fast becoming Jose Arrogantio.

Have to agree with this. "First apology to a foreigner..." WTF?

And yet hughes said it was an obvious sending off...wonder why
This.
It makes NO difference whether there is contact. It's all about INTENT, not the outcome.
The rules might seem harsh, but they are the rules. By the laws of the game, it was probably a red.

You seem like one of those dogey refs we get at the Amex that has a different view to everyone else at the Amex
If it's about intent, and you think it's a red, are you suggesting brown was trying to foul the player but missed?
It's not about intent, it's about safety. You may not intend to hurt someone, but might still you do. You don't get away with it because you didn't intend to hurt them. A challenge can still be unsafe, even when it is successful.
Just going on that video, it was not a careless or wreckless challenge and it didn't use excessive force so should not have been a red. Not because there was no contact, but because there was no excessive force or threat to player safety.

Absolutely the correct decision, and I for one applaud the referee in this case.
Of course if it had been any other team and not one managed by the egotistical **** that is Gus Poyet, then it was a shocker!
