[Spidey]

That’s not what the interpretation is meant to do.

Has he just been sent off for accidentally banging heads and thus ruining the game as a spectacle (if it was one)

Meh

Yes , I was enjoying that . I understand the safety crackdown but that’s just rubbish 

[Dave T]

Let's be honest, the ref having as much of a mare as the two teams.

[Lionheart_merged]

What are they doing to our game

[Jinking Jimmy]

That’s got to be one of the most ridiculous dismissals ever.

To be fair, the amount of rain around here over the last week has been ridiculous.

Week?

It's been like this for months now, or it certainly seems like it has!

Just now, Damien said:

Never a send off for me. Its pure accidental and caused by the momentum of the attacker moving forward and the defender holding on and being swung round. Its a rubbish call.

Not even a penalty

[Leyther_Matt]

That’s just embarrassing. No other way of describing it. Absolute farce.

Agreed. Poor game all around. 

[DavidM]

Sorry I just can’t get over that , that’s not the game 

[meast]

I am all for reducing contact to the head but that looked like an accidental head clash in a tackle.

Not sure Brown could have done much to avoid it in reality.

[The Blues Ox]

Also how come the commentators can hear the video ref but the viewers cant? 

[Fly-By-TheWire]

A bit of Rugger Union anyone? I’ll bring the Pimms.

Yes it has, but this last week has had some full days of raining consistently all day.

[JonNgog]

I’m watching it in the pub on mute and not one of us could work out what he was sent off. I thought I had missed something.

[JohnM]

That was patently unfair to say there was no mitigation. Surely the fact it was accidental counts as mitigation. Unless they are arguing that it was the result of poor tacking technique to  join a tackle whilst standing up 

[Phil]

So if Brown had been knocked cold would Currie have been walked? 

[Industria ditat]

If he had clashed heads in the tackle with his own teammate causing an injury, would that have been a red card?

[Ullman]

Really pleased with the Hull performance in the circumstances.

I'm going to bite my lip about the red card for now

You were enjoying it? 

[Damien]

If the guy hadn't got a bad bleed that wouldn't have even been looked at and it would have just been play on. It's a complete joke.

I have a boring life 

[sentoffagain2]

    Complete accident as earlier poster said not even a penalty.I am on picket duty if the players strike.

If you bite your lip us other viewers might get sent off because you accidentally bled a bit.

I just asked my mate the same thing.
