Little bit of karma at play then. How kicking out at someone isn't violent conduct I'll never know, so it should be 3 games and thus he wouldn't have a broken ankle.
It really WAS as soft as ****, though. The other guy (who got away scot free) was the aggressor. Very, very harsh sending off.
It was WAY less aggressive and WAY less clear cut, than the (Lansbury) one that Shelvey got overturned altogether, so he'd argue that he was harshly treated to even miss the one game.
