Kinell. Last tackle I saw like that was Carl Regan on his debut for us against Norwich City in 2000. No two ways about it in my mind, that was a definite sending off, but these big name players seem to get away with it every time.
I remember a Portsmouth player getting sent off at Oakwell that year in a 6-0 win for a similar challenge. Also Kozluk went for a 2-footed lunge a few years ago when the usual red mist descended. I hope Pique can be sent off retrospectively and banned for 3 matches. Challenges like that are potential leg-breakers.
He can because he wasn’t given a yellow card. By FIFAs rules, if the referee had given a yellow card then they can’t change the decision. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t get a ban on the back of it.
