I think this was the mistake that ref made, not taking the time slow things down and process what occurred. It may not have been a red but if had some of the key ingredients and Nani should be shouldering some of the blame as it was a silly, silly tackle. I do like the fact that the ref had the balls to call what he thought was a red in a high profile match, a dangerous tackle is a dangerous tackle and if he thought it was such a tackle, fair play.
