I haven't watched it back, but I got the impression it was the linesman that made the call.
The linesman ran on and then didn't say anything. Thaler and him both stood there in silence whilst Smith spoke to Thaler.
I am 100% certain that if that game was not on Sky, he wouldn't have been sent off. It would have been put on report at the most. Smith obviously didn't like what he saw and instructed Thaler on what to do.
