His foot got the ball, he wasnt 2 footed, he was in total control, struggling to see where the foul is committed personally.

It was from behind, was my first thought. He does take the ball first, you're right there. But that actually doesn't matter anymore I'm reading. Yep, not two footed, but why does he bring his other leg across? Could have easily broken his leg doing that. You don't ever do that in a tackle without trying to hurt someone. I'd know, I've given and doth received such tackles.
I'm trotting out the old adage here...'if that was Tomkins on Delofeu and he was out till February we'd be fuming'... anyway, the Referee has agreed with you and majority opinion, but if I was reffing, he's off. Instant. I'm probably wrong, but they keep tweaking the rules every year.
It honestly doesnt matter if he took the ball first, that is indeed correct, but he hasnt launched himself, hes in control of the slide and hes come from the side not from behind, I suppose there is slight intent with regards the sweeping leg, but IMO the ball is won cleanly and its honestly not a dangerous tackle, just unlucky that it "appears" to have caused an injury, although I do recall he stayed on the pitch for another 20minutes after the tackle so whos to say he didnt jaw his knee at a later time of the match?
All in all, a perfectly timed tackle that claimed the ball.
Exhibit A : A technically correct tackle. Notice the trailing leg tucked under.
Exhibit B : A technically Incorrect tackle.
Exhibit C : Jambo on Dimi
I rest my case, your honour.
Still pictures dont really show anything.
Picture A, from that still it could be said the ball has already gone and the tackle is late.
Picture B, both feet are off the ground and there appears to be very little intent on winning the ball.
Picture C, shows the aftermath of a superbly timed tackle that has already won the ball.
Romney, read all the words, there is a big "if" in there!I haven't seen it but it's a red?
what a pathetic statement
