Everton player sent off.. on 20:43 - Nov 24 by Sharkey
When Sky flashed the rule up, It seemed that the point was that it was a slap to the head. If e.g. he had punched him in the stomach, could he have been booked, or is it a red or nothing?
Hands to the head is supposed to be a red unless the force is minimal. It clearly was minimal & in any case, a higher bar would be imposed by any sane referee if it's blue on blue. But the silly ref couldn't wait to get out his red card, VAR decided not to intervene & Gary Neville couldn't stop defending the referee.
Got to be honest, if there's one moment from Town history that I truly wish had been captured on film that isn't already, it's got to be the infamous Robson/Baxter/Carroll punch up.

Neville didn't defend the referee. He clearly disagreed with him.
Lol come on ref, would that have even registered on a slap-o-meter? He's tickled his face at worst. Yellow cards for the pair of em would've been my punishment.

Unrelated but from the BBC online commentary of the same game.
"United captain Bruno Fernandes turns and shoots himself from 30 yards out ..."
'Only three players touched the ball fewer times in the first half than Joshua Zirkzee (16) and one of them played nine minutes and another was sent off for hitting their team-mate.'

Keegan v Leeds
I don't know why I'm thinking this but I suspect that the commentary is not only unlikely even on a Scots TV channel but might have been added on later...

Too right. Tony Harrington has snatched at a once in a career opportunity, true pub quiz collector's item, when it wasn't really there.
