Lucky both his legs weren’t broken. Dreadful dreadful tackle.I dont know about that red anymore, in all honesty. Seen a few replays and im iffy. Real time looked a hard challenge and the studs showing made it a red. The studs even looked like they grazed Praet.
However, slow motion shows Haden made a successful lunging effort to clear the ball and Praet was a casualty. No way Hayden could have pulled out of that and avoided Praet, to be honest. Too little time. Would have been ashame if Praet got hurt which he very well could have. But he cleared the ball and the sheer momentum dictated him
going into Praet. Hayden is right to feel hard done by that red, in all honesty. You cant really ask a player to not make an effort to clear the ball in that position.
