Referees wanting to be stars

He's about 6 yards out and it's falling straight to him if he's not hauled down. Doesn't get any clearer

Not in my opinion. There's a chance it doesn't and thus is debatable and not a red.

Koscielny rugby tackled Dzeko 6 yards from goal, which prevented Dzeko from getting a shot in at goal. Thus, a goal scoring opportunity had been denied.

Definite red card and just absolute idiocy from a defender that only has himself to blame.

It was not clear cut, Szczesny could very well have got there before Dzeko - penalty and yellow would have been fairer.

Where was it going then? Dzeko would have got to it before the keeper if the defender didn't have hold of him and that's why it was a red

Yeah I agree there's a chance the keeper could have got to it first. Not a clear scoring chance.

In fact it doesn't even look like Dzeko was following the flight if the ball nor is it clear whether he would have judged it. You simply can't be clear.

Keeper wasn't getting there at all, Tevez beat the keeper to it and he was much further back than Dzeko was

Tevez was running towards the ball, Dzeko had to turn onto it and it looked like he wasn't following it, plus he is much slower than Tevez. You simply cannot be clear and thus it cannot be a red.

Dzeko was a foot away from it, it would have landed right at his feet had Koscielny not hauled him down.
