What do you think of this @refbooks.bsky.social and @kenstephenson.bsky.social ? No card at all was the ref assessment on the night. I'm not sure I agree with that.

Yellow for me - it is reckless for me but I could understand a red if it was given.

I was thinking the same myself on first viewing, Ken - although I did contemplate a red card on viewing multiple times. An orange card, perhaps 🙂

I see it was my least favourite European referee - the useless Marciniak!

At minimum a yellow card. This appears to be a new trend: players going into a duel by turning their bodies in and creating as much impact as possible. Worrying.

I agree with that. To my mind, it is a yellow minimum, but if a red card were issued in this instance, I think it is more than justifiable. I'll be interested in Ken's take.
