Today if Charles did it - play on, if Gornell did it - foul. The ref today could have knocked all the time wasting on the head with a yellow card in the first 15 mins, he didn't. You can't blame Stevenage, bet they couldn't believe their luck, Jacobson's challenge in this game was not a red in a million years, given the leniency of the ref on challenges of the same ilk by Stevenage players. If the ref had called up every push, trip, elbow then yes, it was a red, but if he was to be consistent Stevenage would have been down to 8 by half time.

Quote from the Laws of the Game:
Quote:
“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary
use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent.
• A player who uses excessive force must be sent off

Can you honestly say that Jacobson didn't use excessive force?
