HOWEVER, the red card should have remained as whether the ball was in play or not that was a studs up kick out attack and would be classed as violent conduct and should still be a sending off. Am I right or what? Or are the players now allowed to chin each other to no consequence because the ball is in touch and not in play? > On 17 Oct 2022, at 09:13, Richard Walker via Leedslist <leedslist@gn.apc.org> > wrote: > > I missed the game despite spending hours on the phone and entering into the > ballot so watched on TV. > I feel a lot better this morning than I did after the Palace game.
