Totally.Neville and redknapp are missing the point on the red card. The whole reason for having the wild and out of control rule is to stop leg breakers. Clearly Jones went over the top and clearly he could of broken Bissoumas leg.
Jones could/should have done a block tackle. I feel sorry for him a bit as he seems a nice bloke. I don't think he was intentionally trying to hurt Bissouma like the Charlie Adams of the world. But it was right to be red to stop this kind of foul.
You are supposed to get your foot under and behind the ball in those scenarios.
Any player knows that and knows that if you go over the ball with force you are going to roll over it and risk a leg break
