I can see why people would think its not a red. The keeper turns around and sticks his foot out to try and control the ball. I don't think he even knew the player was there. In my opinion it was completely accidental however when I first watched it at full speed I thought red straight away so can't say the ref got it wrong
Loved everyone on MOTD talking about "intent".
Plus he was sent off for "dangerous play" apparently. Must be the new sending off offence I've not heard of yet.
How do we feel about Kasper schmeichel clothesline earlier in the same game? Should have been a penalty, don't think dogso due to a defenders proximity, but the nature of the challenge possible put it into the SFP category. Thoughts?

It seems top level referees have had guidance on raised feet Ans as such I would be surprised if it is rescinded. Especially as it looks like he follows through after the initial contact!! Daniel San would have been proud of that one (original karate kid reference for younger members)
