No player does a tackle that will get him sent off on purpose,

Fox  was pumped up playing against a prem side in front of a big crowd including 5,500 mariners even more than that his wife had flown all the way from the USA to see him play.

The managers last word in the changing room would go something like this,

" Make sure the one you are marking knows you are there hit him hard but fair especially your 1st challenge"

All this is going round in his head so its no wonder he went just that little bit high if  he had won the ball but clattered Townsend his job of marking him would have been made easier .

Sadly it was not to be.

I know it's going back a few years now, but if only VAR had been about when Challionor ended Pringle's career.

So did the ref show him a yellow??

All I seem to remember was the tackle , , , , play continuing , , , , Townsend dead , ,, , , the ball gets knocked out of play , , , , Townsend is immediately resurrected , , , , Ref runs across to Fox , , , , , ref then draws a box above his head , , , , , , ref shows Fox a red card

That's how I remember it all happening

Quoted from Rodley Mariner
Yeah he definitely showed a yellow initially.


Then a few moments later he puts his finger in his ear drew a square and then produced a red.

I mean the ref put his finger in his own ear NOT  Fox's
