I thought the sending off was ridiculous and the referee should have used a bit of discretion (otherwise known as common sense). A free kick and a word in his ear would have been quite sufficient.
The first booking was totally unjustified as he was the innocent party and the second booking was his own fault but as people know this is a split second decision...just happened to be the wrong one!
I didn’t mention the first one, I was talking about the second one. The handball was an instinctive reaction and should have resulted in no more than a free kick. The booking is down to the discretion of the referee and, as I say, he should just have had a word with Morrell rather than brandishing a card. It was totally unnecessary and resulted in a completely disproportionate punishment to the team.
Very poor refereeing imo.
