Had he given a yellow I don't think too many would have complained.
Having said that, my immediate thought was 'red' and it was definitely one that could be fully justified within the laws of the game.
For Newell to get himself into bother over something that was at least debatable was very silly. Can understand his frustration at 'everything seeming to go against his side' but he's got into enough scrapes to know better.
He made out the decision was ludicrous and made by someone who was an idiot, with no understanding of the game, working on laws made by other similar idiots.
One chap behind me was shouting for the rest of the match about Yates not being injured - as if this mattered in some way. I had to bite my tongue.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Mmmm? hard to say - but it does look like there's room for more beer!
