The Cardiff players got him the red with their reaction. Can't blame them but it's true.

 

[wehatepalace]

Not for me

Could have gone either way, although if it was us on the receiving end I would have wanted a red.
He put a couple of challenges in when he needn’t and gave a free kick away. He sees red too many times for my liking, which is a shame because he can be a good player.

 

[Cozzy]

Yellow at worst , was player reaction & crowd that made the refs mind up to make it red

 

[albionfan37]

Hopefully it’ll be overturned otherwise we’ll be light in cm in our next games as kayal is banned now too

 

[GT49er]

50/50 ball for me.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

You can see why he gave it but I don't see how a player like Stephens doesn't go for it like that. He doesn't make that challenge, people would be screaming about his lack of commitment or bottle.

It was slightly reckless, so probably a red in today’s non contact football!

Cunningham’s challenge on Andone was worse than Stephen’s

 

[LamieRobertson]

Half time on R5 all the comments read out by Mark Chapman were saying it wasn’t a red ..commentator queries if there were any that balanced the other way whilst at the same time he and the fellow commentator provided none!

 

[Mr Bridger]

This day and age, ...... yes

 

[Machiavelli]

This day and age, ...... yes

Is the right answer.

It wasn’t worse. It was more cynical. There’s a big difference. Stephens’ challenge can injure people, whereas Cunningham’s just pisses people off with his cynicism.

I think the reaction made the refs mind up, it was 50/50 for me so no red if not certain!

 

[bhafcjack]

Won some of the ball, a foul yes and probably a yellow but a red? Sums up Atkinson the ****

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Yes. Definite red.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Out of control and reckless. Endangered an opponent. Winning the ball is incidental. Gave Atkinson an excuse to show red.

 

[Seasidesage]

Not out of control at all. Coming off your feet does not make you 'out of control' sorry but that is rubbish. Stretching yes, only one to actually make a challenge their lad turned his back and jumped. Foul possibly, yellow harsh, Red? Disgrace.

One foot, stayed on the ground. This is not what that rule change was intended for...

Reckless would be a caution, so which was it
