My thoughts at the time was why didn’t the lineman flag? I mean it was on his side of the field and he had a clear view but he did nowt. It was touch and go on the pen but we remember last season when Fry was sent off for a similar incident with Dross Stewart.
For me it was a pen and a red both officials decided not to up hold the letter of the law on the last man for whatever reason.
I know MC probably thought like many of us that it was maybe a yellow but the actual take down happened inside the box.

The linesman did call it, the ref originally pointed for a corner.
I dont know if he flagged I wasn’t looking but the ref originally pointed for a corner then put his hand to his ear while talking to someone on the mic, he then changed his mind gave the freekick and yellow card.I didn’t see the linesman flag — I’ll have to review the match again as the highlights haven’t (so far) showed the incident.
The commentary said he pointed for a corner then changed his mind - but watching it I thought he gave a free kick straight away. I think the way he was facing made it look like he pointed for a corner, but he never made another signal just the straight arm pointed in the way we were playing.I dont know if he flagged I wasn’t looking but the ref originally pointed for a corner then put his hand to his ear while talking to someone on the mic, he then changed his mind gave the freekick and yellow card.
Well miles is stretching it but was at least a couple of yards. I did think it was a lot closer live.Looked inside as they ran toward the camera angle but the one they were running away from showed it as outside but hardly mikes, it was a close call but probs should’ve been a red…
