FA CUP FINAL ... Chelsea v Manchester United ... Saturday 19th May *** Spoilers ***

Some people are saying he hasn’t been sent off because you don’t get a red for last man in the box only outside. Is that BS?

Seems like that is indeed the rule. Unless it’s violent as long as you make a genuine attempt to win the ball it’s only a yellow. Turns out the red knows the rules better than us.

I believe the rule is now, that if a penalty is given a red card isn’t given.
 
There was something about that, as long as it was a genuine attempt for the ball and not like a rugby tackle or whatever. Can't remember if that actually got introduced, though.
Yeah I’m pretty sure it came in this season as it was felt that a penalty and a red card was too harsh a penalty.
 
God help us in the World Cup with Jones in the defence.

What a clod-hopper.
