What do we think? That tackle resulted in Tshimanga who has scored 24 goals in 27 games breaking his leg?

Thanks both for your contributions
Apologies I should have explained in the original post, I’m a Wrexham fan and they play in the same league as us. I just wanted to give a bit of context about the player as it’s a massive blow to their (Chesterfield’s) title hopes, it’s absolutely not relevant to the tackle.
For what it’s worth I thought it was a strong but fair tackle and was interested in other refs’ views
Can't say I agree, watched it several times and not sure if it's foul or not. I wouldn't be calling a foul off one view in normal time, looks firm but fair to me.Even with grainy footage, that tackle is a two footed lunge, off his feet, not in control, with excessive force, with studs showing and is dangerous. Ticks all the boxes for a red card and for me, is a red card. It disturbs and upsets me that fellow referees will just play on. Perhaps courses are taught differently elsewhere.
Agree, you red card there and you are surprising everyone. Even given the injury, no one is surrounding the offender or the referee demanding he is sent off, it is just seen as a total accident.Can't say I agree, watched it several times and not sure if it's foul or not.

From that video I’m going fair challenge. I think the lack of appeals from anybody says it all reallyBetter footage hereat 4'35''
It looks to me like an accident. The video is only ever one view from one angle, but a big clue is no reaction to suggest otherwise from players, fans, ref or lino (both with decent views).
Always tempting to dissect based on being wise to an outcome, but I can't see anything to criticise the officials on here.
Michel Platini would have a field day with it, but IMHO he'd be arguing for a review of the Laws, not implementation of what football currently expects
