well unless the commentator and the guy who wrote the copy have it verbatim from the referee, i would lay good money on the red card being given for serious foul play rather than denying a goalscoring opportunity
not sure i would have given either of the two penalties that the ref gave...though obviously i wasn't there so i can't swear on it...whilst i thought that there were a couple of better shouts for penalties, for hearts, in the second half
handling of sending offs (or is that sendings off) were textbook, i thought. ref made sure that the first player had walked before sending off the keeper, to avoid any continuation of the incident between the two players as they walked off the pitch
