Extremely hard to argue that wasn't a red I'm afraid.

Does the carbarao cup count as one of the 3 games?

Why does it matter if it hits someone in the face? Surely a boot being up that high would be deemed dangerous regardless of where you connect? I’ve seen that happen multiple times, and I’ve never seen someone sent off for it.

Bit hard to assess an injury threat when you've your back to your opponent and all you have in your vision is the ball just over your shoulder as you're trying to play the ball.

Fairly straight forward, no intention but under the rules it’s a red for wreckless play

Definite red. He had his arm wrapped around Lewis’ so he can hardly claim he didn’t know the player was there. Dumb thing to do. We move on.
Hopefully only 1 game effectively.....

I'd need to see it again but was Bissouma's upper body pushed forward by their player as he was attempting that kick? which would have led to his leg going up higher and if he wasn't pushed, it's doubtful his boot would have reached the opponents face?
Unfortunate accidental contact but looked bad and caused an injury so see why a red

I read that the [MENTION=791]The Albion Roar[/MENTION] said on Twitter it could effectively be 1 game ban only technically, if we get through against Preston in the cup. Anyone confirm?

There is a substantial difference between kicking someone in the face and not kicking someone in the face.

Correct
Red cards count across all competitions so it will be Preston and Man Utd for sure, and possibly Man Utd/Luton in the cup if we can beat Preston.
It’s only yellows that are competition specific.

Your opinion is irrelevant. I posted that directly from the FA website. It clearly suggests that attempting an overhead kick is a legitimate part of the game and a free kick shouldn't be given unless it endangers an opponent. You see many free kicks given for high feet. But however lacking in intent, Bissouma's foot ended up in the player's face when he hadn't ducked. It was out of control and Dangerous Play under FA rules.

Harsh for it to be overturned as don’t know how the ref can’t have made a decision there. Judged it on the injury which is wrong and if he wasn’t injured and took a quick free kick it wouldn’t have been given - that’s the problem with VAR and the variables there still are. But it is dangerous play and an unfortunate red although he had 0 intentions of doing it - so still seems a bit of a shit one to get.
