A few points about it:
1. I don't think the defender was trying to be dirty with it. It was just a follow through but his studs were very high.
2. If that had been the other way around I'm 99% confident the defender would have made more of it and it would have been a straight red. Morelos actually tried to stay on his feet before realising what happened.
3. Similar to Ryan Jack against Aberdeen a few years ago in the fact he didn't show malice or intent but it was a follow through after winning the ball. Jack got a red that day and lost his appeal. His foot wasn't above ankle height in the follow through.
So on that last point, if the Dundee Utd players follow through was thigh high with studs up and given the Jack incident a few years ago with losing the appeal so therefore confirming it was a red.............I will be awaiting retrospective action for this incident from the SPFL due to this precedent.
When do we think they will cite him? 😏

I haven't actually seen the Morelos one as I was distracted by the baby for a few mins.
I do know that it was deliberate, evil, intended and Dundee United should be forced to play with 10 men against rangers for the rest of the season is the only appropriate punishment.
Actually there is an Idea. If players get suspended after the fact should one of the games be held until you play that club again?

The point I made earlier re compliance officer
Guys not sent off guy gets ban guy serves ban against other team
For me I’d bin the compliance officer and go with the 90 minutes as the criteria for being”reported” are a tad vague
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah the way it works seems pointless. As you are right the club the offence was against sees no benefit, indeed as you say could weaken them against teams they are battling for places with.
Even as a deterrent/punishment I am not sure it works as unless the club fine the player which in most cases they won't then all its doing is giving them a few weekends off.

Said as much yesterday, but its the same as a player getting sent off in the 89th minute, rarely does that help the team he has offended.

AM foot was off the ground - nothing like Durrant and never doing an ACL. He was already withdrawing it as he knew he was going to take a hit. Only the boy knows if he followed with intent.
Modern mouldies can be sharp as fook and way worse than aluminium studs. The blades that Mizuno used at one time were like butcher's knives ffs.
I don't think Clancy having seen it prevents the CO investigating? The Rangers friendly press are obviously doing their best to get it done.
Doubt that it will be more than a yellow if that happens?

He won’t get a yellow then. It’s either a red card or nothing.

Could have been 100% funnier if each time it cut to the fan a different bit of the logo was missing from the shirt in a Fawlty Towers manner.
I’m in the wrong business, I really am.
Actually, I’m not in any business

Looks like he’s spoken to Laudrup from on here before perfecting that character.
