You ref the "game" if it is a bad dirty game and then give cards where they are not deserved. If the game is clean and a dangerous play happens you don't just turn away because the game was clean up until that point, in that case you judge the act.
There are three issues with Nani's challenge that usually can lead to at least a yellow if done individually, let alone all three combined.
- Jumping Tackle- Usually leads to a yellow/red
- Cleats Up- Usually leads to a yellow/red
- High Kick- Can potentially lead to a yellow
This tackle featured all three of those things. Sure there was no malicious intent but that doesn't change the fact that it was stupid and dangerous.
Due to the lack of intent I would have called it a yellow but the grounds are there for that to be a red card. |
This.
Only Man U fans / Real haters could call this a blatant crime against humanity.
There was definitely grounds for a red card. It's not outlandish to believe so.
Want to avoid a red card? Don't do the three things Nani did. No problems.
