You're getting off far too lightly with that lump of garbage. You talk about refs knowing nothing then dare proceed with that analysis.
Here ....
Careless, reckless, using excessive force
“Careless” means that the player has shown a lack of attention or
consideration when making a challenge or that he acted without precaution.
• No further disciplinary sanction is needed if a foul is judged to be careless
“Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the
danger to, or consequences for, his opponent.
• A player who plays in a reckless manner must be cautioned
“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary
use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.
• A player who uses excessive force must be sent off
Careless and reckless .... Yes. Using excessive force. Not a hope in hell.
Dermot Gallaher's take.....
"I can't reiterate enough that he [Nani] is watching the ball over his shoulder, there was no malice in him. At worst it was a yellow for dangerous play, but if I was refereeing that game I cannot see by what stretch of the imagination I would have sent him off for that."
Anyways ... thems the breaks. I'm not as annoyed as much by the loss but more so that the teams were denied the chance to settle it amongst themselves. It was a fascinating game up to that point.
United's goal was offside .... twice.
