In 112 appearances in all competitions (81 starts, 31 sub appearances) he picked up a total of 13 cautions (and served a one-match suspension against Bournemouth in early February last season due to accumulating five cautions).

Former Albion star Alexis Mac Allister received a very harsh straight red on Saturday, as Liverpool eventually went on to defeat Brentford. The decision has since been correctly overturned. (2:07)
At Ewood Park, Harry Pickering gets himself in a right pickle after just 16 minutes. Initially appearing to handball as the last man from a route one ball over the top. When this didn’t get the job done, he hauled down Hull’s onrushing striker Liam Delap for an inevitable red. Former Albion striker and nightclub/thot enthusiast Aaron Connolly sealed the win for Hull with two late goals.
From 0:00
Finally, struggling League Two do-gooders Forest Green Rovers were done over 0-3 by Newport, conceding after just 13 seconds. The Forest Green Rovers defence boasts pace that would put fear in the heart of any sloth. Perhaps more protein is needed in their pre-match meal.
Things got worse for Rovers fans two-fold. Firstly when FGR manager David Horseman (no relation to Bojack) decided to bring on new player-coach Troy Deeney for his traditional booking and 30 minutes of ungainly lolloping.
Finally, Sean Robertson was sent off for a late challenge in stoppage time to cap a miserable, meat-free day. From 1:35
Nothing spectacular last weekend in England, but see posts above for a corking challenge from La Liga, as the European leagues continue to show us how it’s done.

Seven (!!!) straight reds across the English professional leagues so far this weekend. I’m in heaven. Hoping for some real crackers.

Firstly, very sorry for the delay in getting this updated.
Right, here is last weekend’s bumper crop of straight red cards from English professional football.
Joe Worrall kicks things off for Nottingham Forest (sadly not literally) with a simple drag down professional foul on much loved nice guy Bruno Fernandes, on way to a 3-2 defeat to the Red Devils. From 2:16
Onto League One now, and Highbury Stadium, where Fleetwood finished with 9 men (two straight red cards!) en route to a 0-1 reversal against Shrewsbury.
With his side trailing 0-1, goalkeeper Jay Lynch has a nightmare as he comes flying out to commit a professional foul to a long ball over the top. Less Schumacher, more drunk go-karting, this one. Still, a blatant red.
Deep into stoppage time, Josh Earl loses his temper defending some classic wing play by former Albion star Elliott Bennett, leading to Earl stamping on Bennett’s leg in an off-the-ball incident. Clear red card for violent conduct. (See left side of screen, although actual red card showing is not caught on video).
From 0:55 and 1:54
Onwards to the LNER Stadium, where visitors Blackpool received a 3-0 pasting by Lincoln City. Their day was summed up when Oliver Norburn hauled down Ben House in front of goal, for another professional foul and obvious red card.
More ex-Albion hijinx now, as Jake Forster-Caskey, plying his trade these days at Stevenage Borough was shown his marching orders in the 55th minute for the home side. But he wasn’t alone. Portsmouth’s Joe Rafferty was also red carded in the same “incident”.
Now, I can safely say you won’t see a softer red card all season anywhere in legitimate professional football. This one is outrageous.
Both players go in fairly on a 50/50. Play continues. The referee, Simon Mather, imagines something and suddenly both players are being sent off. This one is beyond explanation. There looked perhaps like the tiniest bit of afters from Forster-Caskey but certainly nothing even close to a red. As for Rafferty, only Mr. Mather knows what he thinks he saw. From 1:10
Wigan’s Charlie Hughes received his 21st minute marching orders, on way to a 0-2 home turnover against Barnsley. They became Hughesless after yet another last man professional foul. Even more astonishingly, noted thug Callum McManaman was playing for Wigan in this fixture, and failed to pick up even as much as a yellow card. He will really need to up his game to maintain a place in in my black, black heart. From 0:15
We’re in Kent next, and the beautiful townstead of Gillingham. Did you know Rubenesque crooner Rik Waller is from Medway?
It wasn’t a good day however for Waller and co, as his side were thumped 0-3 by those cheeky chappies from Colchester at Priestfield. The icing on the Gill’s shit cake came in the 86th minute, when already trailing by 3 poor goals, sub Ethan Coleman went in studs up. From 1:45

Virgil Van Dijk capped the weekend’s shenanigans on Sunday, as his Liverpool side scored two late goals to defeat Saudi oil barons Newcastle United. Another vanilla professional foul, regrettably. From 0:56

That’s a whopping nine straight reds last Saturday and Sunday. Can this week even get close?
Coming up tomorrow - this midweek’s straight red cards!

double post
Keeper didn't even wait - started walking off straight away!
I guess once he'd sent the first player off 'accidentally' (can't think of another reason) he had to send the other off to balance it up again!
Just to note, as this post shows, you are limited to 5 pieces of embedded media per post. More than that and they show as links.
Up to you how you respond to this info - if you want to do multiple posts to ensure they are all showing, or leave them as links to be clicked on if there's more than 5. I personally have no preference and am not asking for either. Just highlighting the issue.

Just FYI - Stevenage FC haven't had Borough in their name since June 2010.

If you're going to get red, two for the price of one seems sensible

Absolutely astonished that the ref was asked to look at that again. He saw it first time and made his decision.
When does VAR ever not back their mates on the field?
A 50/50 ball which the Fulham player misses and as a result, their momentum crashes them into the other player. A yellow at worst.

He pulls his foot away, should have stuck with yellow.
The ball is never above knee height, and Jiminez launches himself into his opponent six feet off the ground, smashing his hip into the lads head. It’s the definition of ‘endangering an opponent’
