How the actual F is that a red

I don't have a problem with a tackle like that being red. He went for the legs and had no intent going for the ball.

Seriously, never a red card, if that was the case every game would have at least one red card.

It would help stop professional fouls if they did get a red.

It's not that often a player goes for the legs like that.

You can’t be serious ........it is not a red.... poor decision..... yet no foul for Wales just before the goal.

Wales well beaten but that is the poorest referee I have seen in the games so far.

Do you watch much football ?

Lots. Why?

Shame but Wales totally outclassed.

Denmark very impressive with strong defence and excellent finishing

[Munter]

Oops.

At least the England side can pick up all the home nation support now.

That's how this works right?

As long as we don’t have to listen to Lineker and Ferdinand

Because the 'not that often' happens in every single league and pretty much every single game. It's a professional foul and something you may not like but happens all the time

Someone diving from the rear to take another player's legs doesn't happen anywhere near to every game. Not even close.

I think your over exaggerating regarding “diving from the rear”...
Watch that again and pay close attention to his feet, I really can’t get where you are coming from with accepting a red is the correct decision.

It was a trip. Perhaps you need to re-watch it

Of course, everyone loves England.

Exactly, a bit over exaggerated by Driver 101, with “dive from the rear to take another players legs”

It was a very unsubtle hack that he ran in on, which made it look worse. A stupid tackle in that you make that sort of foul look softer and take the yellow.

Still never a red

Need to change your name to Football101 because that’s what you need.

He went for the legs. That's how players end up needlessly injured.

The excuse given by Savage and Hughes was frustration. You can't just go for the legs of another player just because you were frustrated.

Disappointing way for us to go out, started well, they made technical changes and we were never really in it after that. I think the ref took the piss, the yellow card for Moore was a joke. Their second was the key goal in the game, it was a blatant foul on Moore for them to win the ball back. I don't understand what VAR is all about if they don't look at stuff like this. The red card for Harry Wilson was a joke also.

I've got the hump with the format. It's not fair on some teams. England get every game at Wembley, we've had 2 games in Baku, the one agaisnt Turkey was full of their fans. Then played Italy in Rome. Now play the Danes in a neutral venue and we can't take any fans. It's hardly fair. I think that's a factor on why the ref was toss in this game. If 20,000 Wales fans go nuts at the foul on Moore when they win possession back, maybe he gives it?

But... a Wales player had taken down a Danish player by “taking his legs” just outside the box which resulted in a yellow card.
Where do you draw the line ?

[Driver101]

Here's the foul for those who missed it.

You're conflating the pundits with the actual foul, which wasn't a red.
