Yeah, the terminology can be a bit confusing. I see more and more people referring to SFP as 'reckless' on forums thesedays.

I see it is turning into a conspiracy....

"a reckless challenge with excessive force..."
Um OK...

A quibble. Just because it's excessive force it doesn't mean it's not also reckless, and careless, and dangerous play, and unsporting behaviour. Excessive force is meaningless anyway - a linguistic blip in the history of the laws. "Wantonly reckless" would have been better.

Dermot on SSN saying the Young/Aguero incident was definitely a penalty but the fact "he touched/got the ball" gives the referee a get out so it's a penalty and yellow not a red. Interesting because Dermot's been on SSN loads of time before stating that exact sort of challenge and sometimes less than that is a sending off offence.

A bit boring in my opinion. If he's going to lie or try and spin/misguide viewers there's no point of him being on at all and does nothing for the credibility of referees in general. You can defend the referee during real time if you like, but to watch it back on a number of replays and state that it's a yellow is just dishonest.

Consider the speed at which Young flew into the challenge and the position of his studs and contact on Aguero. It has to be a red.
