    Excessive force is subjective though, to give a straight red you should be confident that the player getting the red was deliberately trying to injure the attacker in the tackle.
    How do you define excessive? Cause that Son tackle was excessive in my view. He didn't win the ball and dove in from behind straight at his ankles.
    That tackle had more chance of injury than actually winning the ball. Check out how poor Son didn't mean to hurt him in the picture below. And take into account that he had just chased him down angrily after not getting a freekick 20 seconds earlier.

    Here lies the dumbest comment on this forum for many many years. I'm pretty sure you get a shirt sent in the mail, just talk to Furns.

    The tackle that broke his ankle wasn't of any danger to the guy who had his ankle broken in said tackle.

    What about bicycle kicks - they are cool and highlight reel worthy, until there happens to be a person near the receiving end of the foot. There is a football rule book but all refs must use context and situational awareness to enforce the rules. You would not be human if you didn't at least consider effects of a challenge in your adjudication of it.

    Cheers Son's crying.
    OK

    Wry opening your other eye so you're looking through both for a change. We were talking about the tackle, not what happened after the tackle.

    Try bringing some facts to this discussion then. The tackle was excessive and broke his ankle. He didn't break it after the tackle. Aurier wasn't the cause, the ball didn't wrap around his ankle and break it. Son did.

    And he'll be suspended for his actions, exactly as he or anyone else deserves to be.

    I actually played before red and yellow cards existed. You could still get a warning and you could still get sent off but it was more environmentally friendly given trees weren't being chopped down to make the cards.

    If anything we should be asking why Son wasted that tackle on someone other than Harry Kane

    I have 100% faith in you regaining your crown very soon. At least we've been giving you some competition lately.

    Did the contact from Son break the ankle? No. Did it put him off balance causing another collision and then the injury? yes

    Can I watch it again? no way

    Ah yes, same here. A ref had a book and told you verbally (fancy that!) that you were either "booked" or sent off. The card system was brought in for the 1974 World Cup to compensate the language barrier.

    Like names on shirts, third kits, backpass rules and VAR FIFA decided let's do it for everyone and make the ref the centre of attention.

    Future players will no doubt have Apple watches or similar telling them when they are sent off.

    Watched it again tonight and saw some photos before the break.
    After Son knocks him off his feet, Aurier plants his foot on Gomes’ right foot. All this happening at pace causes Gomes right ankle to dislocate and break.

    Admittedly I remembered the timing differently. Son was miles off the ball and trips Gomes, however he was coming much more side on than I thought as well.

    Ref had the yellow in his hand and was writing him up for it until he saw the injury.

    Sticking by my initial assessment. It’s a reckless challenge, still not serious foul play.
