Because he kicked the other bloke with no intention of playing the ball.

He tripped him up, it's a tactical foul which should only be a booking, if it were a professional foul then that's a different matter.

Never a red I agree.
But in my humble opinion it should be.
A foul imo should be an attempt to win the ball but accidentally impeding an opponent, injuring him or dangerous play.
It shouldnt be blatant cheating and thats what it is.
They call it a cynical challenge as if that somehow makes it more acceptable but its cheating.
I'd like to see that kind of challenge treated far more seriously than it is.
Chelsea and Man U would be fked.

The 'spirit of the game' went outta the window yonks ago. Sad but true.

I could see this coming. We were warned. Charlie Buchan's ghost whispered me back in the 1960's

Like how Lawrenson immediately turns a question about Kane starting against Wimbledon into an issue about wages.

:rolleyes:

In fairness to lawro and kilbane they did agree it would be nice if Kane stayed at Spurs his whole career.
