Not convinced it was even a FK.....Flaminis feet go either side of Goslings leg so the ball was won with one foot....plus Gosling jumps into it a bit himself...ball was about a metre or so in front of Gosling, certainly wouldn't class it as at his feet or even under control.
Think it looks far worse than it actually was.

Made the challenge one footed, ball not under opponents control, complete overreaction to even consider red.
@Padfoot please dont ever officiate in Cornwall... I'd be scared if you stepped onto the field if I was about to play!! Scared for my life!!!!
I thought you of all people would have seen this was a dangerous attempt at getting the ball! It looks tamer than it could of done, much because of the Bournemouth players reactions to get out of the way!

Mods - please check somebody hasn't hacked Padfoots account??
Next he'll be arguing for more lenient approach on dissent!

If he had missed the ball, then maybe you could go red if he got the player full on.
But he won the ball cleanly with one foot....it was his left shin that Gosling ran onto not his studs...,because Flamini had made sure his feet weren't together.....in fact it even looks like he pulled his left foot back to avoid contact.
Can understand the caution, but was never going to be red.

Red.
Both feet off the ground, the fact that he gets the ball is totally irrelevant.
If it had been a Bournemouth player, he would have been off.

What's the point of a survey if you're prejudging the answers? We all know that "nothing at all" is sometimes the correct decision (although not in this case).

And that is why players still say "but ref, I got the ball"..
So if he had got a 'bit' of the ball and broken the bloke's leg, that's not even a free kick??
Whether he did or didn't get the ball is irrelevant, a tackle is either 'careless', 'reckless' or made with 'excessive force'. No mention of the ball.
I thought this tackle was the latter.
Agree with you here. When a challenge of excessive force is made, the ball is irrelevant. All it took is for Gosling to put his standing leg in the wrong position, and that would have been his season over. I'm all for a strong challenge, but considering the fact Flamini is airborne, at pace, and directly running towards Gosling makes the decision clear. Red card, without a doubt.
I consider the 'orange' card situations I've had previously, and this is far far worse a challenge.

I'm going yellow, the opponent is too far away to be in any danger IMO. However looked a red in real time and the man is very lucky
Ignoring that a moment, can we please get away from the terminology "2 footed tackle".
2 footed tackles are not outlawed in the LOTG, it is perfectly possible to make a legal 2 foot tackle. Referees should not be using this terminology as it encourages the ignorant masses to thing 2 feet = red card.
Has Flamini endangered the safety of his opponent or used excessive force or brutality is the only question you need to answer when deciding on the colour.
