Again, in rugby that would be irrelevant. Hitting someone's head with your shoulder is dangerous, full stop.
Yeah, tend to agree. Whilst I think a red would have been harsh and I'd have probably chuntered on about it, I couldn't hand on heart, say it was definitely the wrong decision.

Do you think it’s normal behaviour to try and able someone in the head?
Respectfully it’s you who needs the tea, ‘mate’.
He jumped into Walton. That was absolutely intentionally. Whether or not it was a red is up for debate, what actually happened isn’t.

Does Pedro want a holiday or something?

He's crossed the line there and he's been very lucky a for couple of games now.
The no-contact elbow should have been a red IMO, and now the full contact no-elbow on Walton which could easily have been a red.
Must be keen for a few games rest.

In MMA he would have been booed for backing out......

Walton doesn't look fully committed. He looks like a victim. It's a horrendous bit of football from Pendro.

You've contradicted yourself. 'Over-zealous' IS the main argument for a red card.

Stop walking on the tracks then!
I think it's a yellow. He's gone for the ball and his momentum has caused a collision with the keeper. It seems like it is body to body rather than a head collision. If Pedro's arm was raised slightly higher then it would've been nasty and a straight red - that's what I was dreading at first.
Another close one for Pedro after that arm swing which nearly collided with the head of the Brentford player. He needs to watch out.

Keith Hackett:
“This is a nailed on red card for Serious Foul Play. He knows exactly what he is doing. This is a challenge with excessive force that endangers the safety of the goalkeeper.
“Referees should not await the outcome to see if the goalkeeper has s injured or not. Totally unacceptable and I would suggest that the Referee and VAR require some operational advice.
“Here is the law: Serious foul play: A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.
“Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.”

I cannot get away from thinking if that was Delap on Verbruggen, the poll result would be very different.
If you don't think that was a red card, you need to give your head a wobble

Absolute tosh. He had every right to go for the ball. What he meant to do stop in mid air. His body shape shows he was trying to mitigate the impact. Right decision all day long

He obviously has a right to go for the ball, the question is did he use excessive force or brutality, or (I guess unreasonably/recklessly) endanger the safety of Walton?

Likewise. I'm guessing if the ref had shown a red the VAR wouldn't have overturned it.
