How does that work. I remember Karl Henry and Wilshere making similar tackles, picking up only yellows, and getting rightly slated the next day by the media, the fans and pindits.

good point, wilshere even apologized after the game if i remember rightly, that was an awful challenge as well.
it's funny how liverpool fans just cannot bring themselves to admit that was sickening from spearing last night and deserved a red, it's shameful really

The follow through got him sent off. Unfortunately, it is not the 70's when it would not even be a foul.

Talk about an overreaction. Do you read the Daily Mail by any chance precious?

It wasn't a malicious tackle, nor was it particularly reckless. It was a clean tackle, he got the middle of the ball and followed through. He was even challenging the player, he was going for the ball only. There was no intent.
