Beckford asked the lino to get the ref to send him off because it was to ****ing cold to play football.
Don't know if this is a stupid question, but to those saying Danns should have been a straight red, what's the difference? Isn't it a one-game ban for a professional foul, or a one-game ban for 2 bookings? Shame the ref didn't play the advantage, but didn't think he was as bad as several this season...
here's what hapened, as most have said linesman flags when Beckford touches your player not for anything said to him. A very harsh decision I dont think it was anything other than Beckford telling him to get up

strong and stable with me, or...
What it does illustrate is how thick footballers can be. As with Cisse getting a red for QPR v Wolves, the player really only has himself to blame. Beckford isn't attempting to help Dunk up, or check he's okay, it's a provocative slap probably with a bit verbals. He was at it first half in front of us, and looked wound up to me.
I'm not saying it should be red, but the player gives the officials a decision to make when he doesn't have to. This wasn't a 50-50 challenge, he had time to think about his actions. Either help Dunk up or walk away. It shouldn't be hard for a professional.

lino didn't flag till after Beckford walks away from Dunk so can't see how it would have been anything he said to the lino. The FA have sent their report so will be interesting to see what that says.
As for did he/didn't he kick Dunk in the head, it makes no difference, even if no contact was made, if in the opinion of ref/lino there was intent. Players can stand nose to nose screaming at each other, no problem but if one moves his head forwards as if to head butt then it’s a straight red for violent conduct. Raised hands, a flick with foot or hand, an elbow towards other player, makes no difference if no contact or hard contact they are all straight reds. So no it’s not harsh one little bit, if that’s how the lino saw it. Players have only got themselves to blame.

Beckford by all accounts shouted at Dunk
'You're f*****G better than Crystal Palarse'
yellow card for swearing (not the f word the other two words) and a yellow card for stating the bleeding obvious.
Hence the red.

AaaHA!
A little close inspection and you can easily see Dunk's head move as Beckford walks away. A deliberate clip on the back of the head.
So, actually worse than a stand-up strike to the face and way more cowardly of Beckford to hve done. Certainly no accident either.
Well done linesman, and shove it Beckford for being a dirty and cowardly twat.
I wouldn't be surprised if he (and his team-mates) wasn't instructed to wind up our players due to our 'suspect' disciplinary record. Shame that we had another harshly sent off to even things up.
