Another of our players off on a stretcher and I bet - I have not checked - we have one of the worst records of discipline......

If you watch the “highlights” then, yes, it was a red card challenge. Knee high. Never has been much of a tackler. Given it was virtually McConville’s first infringement and the Bolton player made a miraculous and almost recovery, a better ref might have shown a yellow and not ruined what had, up to then, be an exciting contest. But we all know, or should know what ref’s at The Wham can be like.
But I also agree with Choirboy (apologies if it wasn’t him) about Trafford’s “reckless” jump intended purely to take out Coyle.
