I think the first tackle is absolute quality
That was a strength of my game back in the day. I used to be very good at timing these sorts of challenges. Alas, whilst I never got sent off for such a thing, I did risk getting filled in a few times. One time this attacker (wearing a gum shield, which was a bit scary in itself) came after me and I thought I was brown bread. I'm a bit gutted that this is now a foul tackle. Fair play to the Ref for having the wherewithall to award the PK. On balance, I'd struggle to go beyond reckless given how cleanly the ball was won at ground level. So Yellow, Red, Yellow for me
I'd feel a bit gutted about penalising that first one, but we have no choice really
