Watching MOTD I thought both should have got a red, Henry for the challenge and Routledge for the albeit small kick at him. A kick is a kick are the FA now putting a degree of force on a kick as to the deciding9 factor on a card

Wayne Routledge Red Card QPR vs Swansea 1-1: http://youtu.be/ENQPCDPkXoY

It seems to play in slow motion for me, but I can't see anything that resembles a kick.

It's right at the end, surely it can not be over term as the law is Kiki g or attempting to kick, so I don't see how the force of the kick matters?

As he got up a little kick with his left foot.

Absolutely disgusting 'challenge' by Henry. Routledge deserves a medal for his restraint.

Unbelievable restraint. I don't know how he did not clock him!

Henry should get a retrospective ban as ref did nothing about it but it doesnt condone Routledge kicking out. 2 wrongs dont make a right.

Degree of force, another brilliant can of worms!

Exactly this.

Henry has form. How he hasn't ended a players career by now is beyond me. Easily the dirtiest current player I've seen play by a country mile. I still remember that challenge on Bridcutt up at Molineux as well.

Totally agree, Henry is just a thug in a football kit.

The ref was awful. Didn't send off Green for the handball as well. I know managers are massively biased to their own club but when you see a refereeing performance as bad as this, you start to think they may have a point.

I agree but Routledge did kick him in the back only minimal but still a red card. FA to ban Henry ?

Horrific tackle by Henry. A player with no footballing ability and just a destroyer. Routledge was lucky to avoid serious injury and his red card was rightly rescinded.

The referee did do something about it as he cautioned him.

If that's a kick then it is the end of football as we know it - Assistant Referee has had a mare telling the ref to send him off.

I'd be interested to know how he and Zamora get on at QPR. I'm sure Henry kicked him out of a game playing for Wolves.

Didnt see the yellow card but the rules are explicit kicking or attempting to kick so that clearly fell into that catergory.

He has moved his leg about half a foot towards him, not in an aggressive manner. It's the same as a push on the shoulder, what football fans would call 'handbags', 'yellow' for both.
