Don't think many refs would give a red for that tbh, refs generally let tackles go unless you go in with studs up
It wasn't a tackle or even an attempt to tackle, it was just a kick out at a player.
Aye I know. Just think players get away with those a lot more than ones with studs up
Probably right. Wasn't there a similar tackle last season where the ref sent them off? Loved the suggestion on TFR that for those 'taking one for the team' tackles, that instead of a yellow card or being sent off, that they punish them with an enforced substitution of the player that does it. All fantastical obviously but I liked the thinking behind it.
Gaelic football does that, refs are terrible at judging it though
