That Spearing challenge was a red.
Don't know if people really noticed but Jay meant that follow through, it wasn't unavoidable. It's a natural thing for an old school midfield player, you want to let your opponent know you're there, take a bit of him while still playing the ball. I've done them myself, but the thing is, you don't really get away with much in football these days. The rules have changed, so kop on. Raising your left foot so blatantly to his shin will always give the ref a decision to make, and these days, they're usually red. Jay still thinking he's back in the 80s is his responsibility, and he cost us.
Dembele's a clever boy too, knew the challenge was coming, had his leap started well before Spearing tried to be clever, barely any damage done. But hey, no scene is complete without the obligatory roll around.
Edit: Oops.
