Watching MOTD today I was surprised both pundits didn't think his tackle was not a sending off. Personally I thought it was as not in control when he made the lunge, especially annoying is that fact that it was this ref who didn't send off Rocca of Man Utd for a similar tackle. Secondly, I also thought it was a blatant penalty for Stoke yet they thought it was harsh. All about opinions I suppose and they're meant to be the experts..
