The Red Card Today

[Agbrigg]

Firstly I must apologise for not getting a link.

However I have just seen today's high lights of the Wakey Leeds game . I have been watching this game for years and that is the weirdest sending off I have seen. The French Trialist has the ball and is going forward and Myler tackles him high, the Wakey player just raises is body to shake him off and Myler goes head first into the ground. I have seen Myler doing something similar before and getting a player penalised. I would be interested what some of you think when you see this, but I think this is harsh on the young French Trialist.

I don't think a reasonable person can watch that replay and come to that assessment I'm afraid.

Straight red, end of.

What a strange incident. 

Nailed on red card but the fact that the player sent off had possession the ball is very unusual. 

[Neutralfan7]

Red card all day every day

[sam4731]

I mean that incident is mental! Is there anything beyond a red?

[corvusxiii]

I can't see how the ball carrier is guilty of 'guiding' the tackler head first into the floor. Yes it happened but how can the ball carrier be culpable when he has at least one arm on the ball and the tackler has two on the carrier?

[jacksy]

RED.

[Just Browny]

It's a horror challenge (presumably 'tackle' is the wrong word) and there can be no argument with the red.

I don't particularly like Myler these days but the way he is occasionally blamed for the fouls committed against him is quite silly.

It is as clear as day in the video.

[LeytherRob]

It's about as clear cut red as you'll see and I can't imagine it getting any less than 3 or 4 games. Incredibly dangerous.

I wondered the same at the game but my view was a bit restricted. Looking at the video above, I can’t tell who ended up with the ball but Salabio looked to use both arms to dump Myler. Terrible tackle and deserved a red definitely, in my opinion.

The ball carrier stood up straight. As horrible as it incident was, he stood up while the tackler managed himself into the floor with both arms available. Very odd mind...

Clear red. Not sure what clip you were watching, but it obviously wasn’t of this tackle.

[Leeds Wire]

Hard to watch that, it's an absolutely shocking 'tackle'.

Red card and a long spell on the sidelines.

Fair play to Myler for not staying down.

He didn't just stand up though. He stood up then speared Myler head first into the ground.

I really don't know how you see it otherwise.

  Dangerous tackle and justifiably a red card.It is more than a yellow.

[Damien]

Nick Fozzard has his say. This from the man suing the sport for not protecting him:

 

 

[Agbrigg]

Many keep calling it a tackle, ball carriers don't tackle they try and break free from them. The initial contact is by Myler with both arms around his neck whilst the player is in a stooped position. Ok it all goes wrong from there. But my initial point is that it's a very strange incident .

It will go down as dangerous contact I would assume, with a significant ban to follow.

Harsh? Really

Myler is a first class grubby little git but that was extremely dangerous and stupid, it could have ended disastrously,  big ban coming and I expect his trial period will be a short one.

It looks like the Wakefield player juggles the ball into Myler then attempts the tackle. He definitely has both hands on Myler by the end of the contact and he clearly lifts Myler, it's a contact that would have been red even 20 years ago.

Fozzard is busy on Twitter trying to make a name for himself but it's going to backfire. He's as thick as a submarine door.

He clearly wraps his right arm round Myler and propels him upwards using his body as leverage.
