No, there doesn't. There has to be excessive force, of which there was plenty.
As defined by the laws of the game reckless = yellow, using excessive force = red. Cole and Gibson both used excessive force there.
Far too much energy spent on it now but I'll just say that there was not excessive force. It was an accident
Are we sending players off for accidents now? What an absolute nonsense. That means if a player clearly falls over and slides into a player in the wet its a red aswell? falls over Give the foul by all means, if it gives an unfair advantage but a red is absurd
My money is on the ref simply not seeing it for what it was which you cant blame him for. Just an unfortunate incident for West Ham and the Ref
