Having watched the incident several times,seemed like a clear 'hack down from behind' to me.Can't understand what the fuss is all about. ???

Agreed, KJ, was definately deserving of a yellow, but, IMHO, as , in own half, nowhere near 'last man', no way a red.... sorry, mate, you 'had to be there'!!

I'll stand corrected but I always thought that by bringing someone down like that WAS deemed an act of violence,therefore the big red.
As I say I'll stand corrected.

Agree with you John, and I was there, thought Brownie had more sense. I knew exactly what the ref was going to do, why don't the players?

Dangerous play though, no way, three matches is far too harsh, but resistance is useless.

This last man bit is getting a bit irksome, since when could you not be sent off unless the goalie was the nearest player?

Seems to be confusion about him being sent off because he was last man. The technical term for that is preventing a goal scoring opportunity and carries a 2 match ban. In this case it seems irrelevant if he was deemed last man because thats not what he was sent off for, in the opinion of the referee of course.

Now we didn't see any Bulls players doing anything like that did we

Graham Turner does not think he should have been sent off. See:
