The lad Jordan Green was rapid and Sawyer simply mistimed his tackle slightly late.
If an opponent was running at you for a 50/50 and you set yourself up for a big challenge, only to realise that oponent was Linford Christie and he had run much further than you anticipated, you might end up laying a late one on him.
The way the Newport player got up in Gaz's face wasn't helpful, it wasn't malicious it was just clumsy.
Just to go slightly off topic, but still on the subject of red cards, how, if Sawyer's tackle was warranted a red card, was Raheem Stirling's on Deli Ali not? And that was subject to VAR!!! Ali must have been millimetres away from a broken ankle. Shocking.

Sterling's tackle should absolutely obviously been a red card - if the referee didn't see it then VAR showed it well enough. it was high and very dangerous.
I think Sawyer's tackle was a red card. he just dived in too aggessively and was late. I always consider what people would be thinking if it was the other way around (e.g. a Newport defender on, say, Danny Mayor). I doubt that there would be any Argyle fans who would be saying it was a yellow in that case.
Gary Sawyer won L2 villain of the week in today’s Times. ‘A straight red card for a bad foul ensured an edgy final five minutes for Plymouth Argyle...’
Just watched the highlights. When Green gets the ball, he miscontrols it, it catches his knee and shoots off a good five yards in front of him. That is the ball that GS goes for.
Unfortunately, Green is very, very quick so, as GS got there he had already got a touch to the ball, which looked impossible when it came off his knee. A bad tackle but mistimed, misjudged not intended to hurt anyone, not likely to as Green went across him.
Still, Green stayed down rubbing his knee until his team had done their work. Then he jumped up and sprinted rapidly within a minute.
How old is Green? Pace to burn by that show!!

Looked a red the minute he made the tackle. Said as much to my friend who was on his phone so missed it :sigh:
