Josh Smith Portsmouth v Oxford

[es1]

Heck of a call 16 mins into a proper relegation 6 pointer

Scissor tackle, possibly looked higher than it was in reality and I'm not sure VAR (if in use) would recommend a red if a yellow was given live, but I'm happy with it - nasty challenge

Im not sold on red.
I've not seen the previous 18 or so minutes so dont know the temperature of the game (commentator, in one video seen, said something like he needs to get control of the game).
Its reckless. Definitely. Serious foul play? No quite sure.
Only good thing i like about it was that he didnt go rushing in with a red. He took his time.

Nothing in the game before this

Definitely an orange card for me

These tackles are the potential leg breakers. Endangered the safety of an opponent.

Hell of a decision to make in real time, took me until the last view to see the issue, happy with a red card on that final viewing. Well done Ref

A yellow card for me, looked like a scissor tackle from one angle but not from the other angle.

Most referees would have evened up the teams with a second yellow card to Oxford’s Spencer in 2H SPA. Manager immediately subbed him.

I'm comfortable with red there, there's no doubt it was a lunge and he appeared to lunge towards the opponent rather than the ball.

I’m ok with a red. From behind, scissor tackle and I think it’s a good call in real time.
