A red card indeed for the player, for he deliberately hit his opponent, not a slight opportunity to play the ball. And indeed, the assistant referee was a bit unlucky.

@nimpo46 the manager need the clear picture of wat happened?? he was nervous that his player caused the injury to the linesman.. explains the fourth official :)

@OfficialBFWiki I think in those circumstances, its the same with when there is no fourth/reserve official available, an announcement goes out requesting a qualified referee making themselves known to the nearest stewards.
