Yellow card, Pointon got straight back up, and the game carried on. Like that would happen nowadays.. He would have been rolling around like he'd been shot. The ref would give a straight red and would have been surrounded by the other players. The games gone :(.

UItimate professional, ha, yeah right. Pointon was a well-known thug in his day too, a right dirty bastard.

Sorry I meant Xpat

[Gary Thompson]

Blue man is right with a haircut like that he deserved anything Keano dished out

But don't get me wrong, I totally agree with everything else kingstokie said.

[Trias805]

Although, you would probably want it to be a yellow card at most...

[Trias805]

Don't worry, braking another player's leg is still only worth a 3-match suspension.

because the game is shit now,

[Trias805]

This is a straight red

[ChesterGash]

Just because someone goes for the ball does not mean it should not be a red... The tackle is dangerous and should be a red. Keane leads with his studs... The ref got this one wrong...

How is it horrific, he clearly went for the ball and the ref got it right

A yellow card was fair enough, it was a hard tackle but nothing more.
