If that’s not a red, we don’t know what is.
We’ve seen some bad tackles in our time, but this one during a Scottish Championship clash between Hearts and Livingston yesterday is up there with the worst.
Hearts’ Sam Nicholson required stitches after bearing the brunt of a ridiculously high and reckless challenge from Livingston’s Jason Talbot but somehow the referee only deemed it worthy of a yellow card.
Have a look for yourself and wonder, as we did, if that’s only a yellow, what the hell do you have to do to get a red?
Shocking stuff.
