Decision Guilty
Reasons for Decision The Panel state they have watched the video carefully and given careful consideration to what they have heard. They are satisfied dangerous contact was made,and do not accept the player lost his footing. It can be seen from the video the player makes a sweeping action with his left leg, and therefore has no control of his bodyweight.
It is accepted the contact was not intentional however defenders have a duty of care when tackling opposition players.
If it wasn’t intentional why double the laid down tariff ?

Duty of care and reckless were words I expected to hear. I agree to a small extent. A match was tops what it was worth on them grounds and taking into account it's early season and they tend to want to lay a marker down. All that said had injury not occurred then I doubt the match review would of found anything to cite in the first place. 4 is ridiculous n rovers actually have my sympathy. I'd be going mental if it happened to us
