That was a red all day long. Harness made no protest at all. Neither did Cowley.
Yer on yer own, boy.
From the TV pictures angle it looks a hard tackle from behind that won the ball first but wiped the player out, and that would always be a 50/50 red. The view that someone filmed from the milton end (or South stand), more like the view the ref had, shows clearly that he tackled with his left and took him violently with his right. An obvious red because it was clearly revenge for the unpunished foul seconds before. It was that element of revenge that made it a red, which is why the very similar Accrington foul in the second half was only a yellow ... the intent was not the same.
