Billy Gilmour had been sent off in the previous home match against Everton.
Gotcha. The only one that's clear in my mind was Dahoud v Sheffield United. Another shocking tackle.

Always the double standards. When Dale was sent off at Burnley it was explained by 'experts' - OK, pundits, and I think a retired referee - that the extent of the damage caused was something that was (rightly, apparently) taken into consideration when awarding the red card. Not always, apparently..........
Similarly, it has been shown conclusively that a retrospective ban can be issued. Hemed. Without going all hysterical, this is what should happen here - what's good enough for Brighton should be equally applicable for Crawley.

We were all poised to snatch the yellow card out of the ref's hand, but he forgot to issue one

Similarly. Most people here I think thought that was a disgraceful assault by Andone versus Stains … and cost us a loss. I realise some said it was fair challenge!

It would appear so.

I just wanted to know how long he might be out so that I can properly calibrate how much bed wetting to do.
According to this place - and elsewhere, no doubt, it's somewhere between a few days and forever.

There is absolutely no evidence of that at all and tbh it seems extremely unlikely.

It was basically a shocking tackle which was probably premeditated to the extent it was intentional to hurt him when he did it. The fact it was O’Riley is just incidental I think, there’s no reason to target him specifically, he was just unlucky to be on the end of it.
There was absolutely a reason to target him. In a team full of reserves, O’Riley was the sparkly multi-million pound new boy, the one player highlighted as above nearly all the rest, and the guy most likely to destroy Crawley’s game plan. And most of all, exactly the sort of pretty-boy, well-paid, highly talented PL footballer that the likes of Thug Williams knew he could never be himself. He must have been salivating at the prospect and he had only 6 minutes to wait before his opportunity.

The only saving grace is we won’t miss him as an essential player in the squad it may have took him a few weeks to get used to the PL.

That doesn't make sense. When he returns from injury it'll still take him a few weeks to get used to the PL (maybe longer post injury)
