I'd need to see the M'well tackle again but he didn't have his studs up, from what I recall. 

 

Balogun's studs went over the ball and into their player's leg.

 

If it was up to me, they'd both be yellows but I can see why Balogun was sent off and their player wasn't.

Straight legged lunge with studs showing. The only difference is wright jumped out the way. 

[the gunslinger 3,366]

he was going for the ball in fairness but was late getting there.

Wasn't it his left leg that caught Wright?  

 

I think others have seen something I havent.  Just looked like a bookable late tackle to me.

he brought that round to scissor him certainly. 

 

Wright got out of the way of the right leg. 

 

for me it's the out of control lunge that makes it a red. 

 

How much he actually caught the player isn't that relevant.

Yes mate. Was the girl who said this  "because he rolled with the tackle we have to agree with Nick Walsh it is a yellow "

 

Totally agree on the other points.

"The girl" Leigh-anne Chrichton a totally useless piece of flesh who is another IMO who has a hatred of Rangers and anything to do with them as this was proved in a recent Scotland U21 where she continually criticised Middleton.

Cheers didn't catch her name.

Dont need to have studs up to be out of control and endangering an opponent.

 

It was either 2 reds or no reds, IMO.  And that is where the issue is

Isn't 'out of control/dangerous' open to interpretation, to some extent.

how much control can you have when both feet are of the ground. The very definition of out of control i would say.
