Boro to appeal Dijksteel red card

It's a weird one though isn't it. He sort of fouled him on the turn. If they're red card offences then there'd be red cards all the time. It's different to the unusual fouled when clean through. That said I don't think the appeal will be successful
red card for the last man not for the foul on the turn?
 
It's a professional foul. Hugill is through on goal and Dijksteel has prevented a clear and obvious goalscoring opportunity. It's clumsy but it is a red card.
 
I feel we are creaking at the back as it is. No mention here of Smiths contribution after he came on. First thing he did was give the ball away which immediately lead to their goal Only other contribution of note was blaring a good chance into row z.
 
Judging by the silence on this so far, we didn’t appeal.
I suspect we did. i heard Rick Parry has personally appointed a highly experienced 53 yr old former Premier League and current EFL referee to review the footage and uphold the original decision, I mean review the original decision shortly.
 
Incorrect.
It was a law introduced a few seasons ago.
If a foul inside the box denies a clear goalscoring opportunity, then a penalty and yellow card is deemed sufficient punishment.
(Unless, as junos_boots pointed out, the ref thinks there was no genuine attempt to win the ball. Then it is a red card.)

Outside the box the punishment is a free kick and a red card.

Yes, the Law says:
... if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

He pulled him down.

Thats the subjective bit.
I think he was attempting to win the ball but was very clumsy.
It would depend on how the ref viewed it. In saying that, knowing Stroud, he probably actually sent him off for using offensive language or something.
