ORIGINAL: Skiba That was not a 'proper' two-footed tackle though. He's clearly gone with the wrong foot, which has made it look worse than it is. Was it a dangerous tackle? Yes. There is no 'proper' two footed tackle that tackle was clumsy, mistimed and two footed. He had to go and Townsend saying you see loads of those each week is bollocks of the highest order. Was it the worst I've seen? No, nowhere near but it's high, late, and two footed. It's not intentional, so that for me, makes it not a red card...two-footed or not. The intention is irrelevant, if that's your reading of it then I can see what you are saying but the tackle is banned because its dangerous. I think following the rules of the game it's rightly a clear red. I also don't agree with the point alluded to earlier that it made in cup finals that the occasion should reflect how fouls are dealt with. If its in the first minute of a cup final and a sending off they have to be sent off. That's another Townsendism referees should use their common sense, no they shouldn't they should follow the rules of the game and apply them consistently.
