I have seen the sending off on Twitter.

That is the worst decision I have ever seen in over 60 years of watching footy. He threw it at his head. In any event, so what??? It hit his head from a throw in so what is the problem?? In effect, he headed the ball!!!!

It also looks like he enjoys sending players off the way that he pointed for him to leave the pitch. I bet he’s the sort of idiot that practices that at home, just so he gets it right on the pitch. He’s a tool.

Just checked the laws and, apparently, defenders are supposed to be 2 metres away from the thrower and aren't allowed to jump to distract them. If Bapaga did either then technically a booking is valid. I'm guessing that 99.9% of referees would give the player a warning before whipping out a card to send them off. At least, they ought to do so. In 40+ years of watching football, I've never seen a player receive a red card for anything similar to that and, truth be told, I can't remember anybody even being booked!

So their player must have known that, decided that Bapaga was only 1.8 metres away and threw it hard at his head knowing full well he wanted to get him sent off. A booking for their player, surely? It was not a throw-in in the conventional sense, he threw the ball as hard as he could at his head! Talking of heads, it's done mine in!

Seriously though, players stand near to throw-ins all the time, but they don't expect the ball to be hurled at them.

Not seen footage of it yet, but it sounds like a shocker.

Still, all's well that ends well. A pity that Bapaga will get a suspension just as he's finding his form.

Probably the unpopular opinion but I don't see how we could argue it wasn't a yellow card.

Maringer has just posted what the laws of the game say on this, and Bapaga is comfortably closer than 2m, and jumps up in front of their guy.

It might seem harsh, especially compared to some other things that don't get punished. But its an easy call for the ref to make. Bapaga is an inexperienced player, probably on a high after scoring again, hell learn from it.

Great win tonight.
