Heard there has been more than one red in this game now.

Three reds for PSG none the less but they still won!

Didn't touch the guy but was stupid going in like that

 

[Aseros]

That wasn't a red.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I can see why it was given. I saw he'd come on late and been sent off, pretty poor show from Le Becks.

 

[Stevie Boy]

Nasty, a leg breaker if he connected

 

[brightn'ove]

how on earth is that a red?

 

[Aseros]

Apparently the red was for hitting the other player in the face (according to Yahoo News)

 

[vegster]

Does not look good from a sponsor's point of view. Unusual slip up by Beckham.

 

[Biscuit]

Nasty, a leg breaker if he connected

What?!

He goes in to shield the ball from the player and get across him. He didn't connect because he didn't want to.. Never a red.

Looks like he is stamping in front of the player to block him from getting to the ball, depending on the refs view I can see why it could look like a bad challenge.

I think the fact that he drew his leg back so far before bringing his studs down was why it was given - At full speed as the ref saw it, even though he came nowhere near him it does look pretty awful

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Actually, on second viewing it doesn't look too bad.

 

[stripeyshark]

Anyone who has played football can see that that wasn't a red. Went to shield the ball and went out of his way not to stamp on the player.

Completely this. There was no intent whatsoever! At the very worst it was obstruction.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

He's unlucky there - I think it was just misinterpreted by the ref. It looked like a bit like stamping action but clearly wasnt on closer inspection

 

[Barrel of Fun]

If he is fined from his wages, do PSG get to keep it or will it be donated?

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Never a red - if he wants to connect with malice he would have. Makes an effort to avoid the player with the challenge. Then he shields the ball which at most is a free-kick. Ref is probably looking to get a big name in his book to tell all his buddies down the local bar "how he sent Beckham off".

 

[The Birdman]

It depends on the angle you see it from I think this one the ref may have got wrong however I am glad they are trying to protect players from one of the worst type of dangerous tackle poor old Becks don't think it deserved what he got will be intresting how it is dealt with by the French.

That wasn't a red.
