Neville chatting absolute bubbles here. Intent means nothing if you nearly break someone’s leg.

From the FA:

'A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.'

Intent, as you say, is irrelevant.

Amazing that our so-called expert pundits aren't even required to know the rules of the sport.

Where was the excessive force? It was just a 50-50. Guy was fine and it was just an unfortunate ricochet.
