There were a couple of posters on here. I'm naming no names. EDIT: Also, this angle shows exactly what I thought (and posted) that ifollow showed. [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 16:54]

Not sure it matters does it? He's clearly attempting the tackle with his left foot while his right is on the grass, slipping. |  |

Surely a two-footed challenge needs both going in at the same time? If his right follows in (because he's slipping) that surely doesn't make it a two-footed challenge? |  |

I said I'd agree to disagree and leave it there with a particular poster, I never agreed to letting the argument lie in general! I'm just a purveyor of truth, Footster. Andre is innocent! [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 17:07]

I don't see why it would require that. One foot goes first, then the other could join it prior to impact. [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 17:00]

No, agreed. Whether that makes it a straight red or not is another matter. Not my argument though. I just had a ding-dong with a couple of people saying he went in two-footed, so good to see this picture vindicates me on that score at least. |  |

We may have different definitions of what a two-footed challenge is then, but regardless, the left foot is clearly making impact way before the right (if it ever did). If I kick you in the shin with my left foot and then shortly afterwards my right, it's not nice but it's not a two-footed challenge. Not as I understand them anyway. |  |

Depends if he makes contact with the ball first? Not sure this photo tells us one way or the other. All it tells us is he didn't dive in two-footed, which would've been a (deserved) red. |  |

Winning the ball first is irrelevant when it comes to "serious foul play". |  | |  |
Anyone still thinking Dozzell's challenge was two-footed on 17:28 - Nov 5 with 2101 views | Darth_Koont | It was a foul and could easily have been a yellow despite going for the ball. The mitigating factor for me seemed to be the other Sunderland player behind who looked to have pulled Andre back and off balance as he was stretching for the ball and well ahead of Leadbitter. I can se why the red card can’t be overturned but In the context of the game and what led up to the challenge, it was still a very poor decision by the ref. |  |

It’s the ones before I’d like to see when he gets pushed but if contact anywhere is a foul, it was a foregone conclusion really |  | |  |

Yep, absolutely. Also, as Joe and others said, he let plenty bad challenges go completely unpunished up to that point. It was like the ref had finally had enough and blamed everything on Andre! |  |

It doesn’t need to be two footed to be classed as dangerous, and red as a consequence. A single footed challenge at that height could still classed as such. |  | |  |
