is a straight red for a tackle deemed violent conduct? Thought he was our best player today until the sending off
It all depends on what the straight red was given for, but if it is for serious foul play, which Mellis' one undoubtedly was given for, it will be three games I think.
Yes Melllis will be 3 games straight red card for a dangerous tackle - I thought it was marginal as to a red - one of those that is sometimes given and there is no chance of appealing it but another day he would get away with it - same punishment as the Wednesday thug who made a much worse challenge
