So what!? the ref and his linesmen had to make a decision at that time. They can't wait until they get home, view the video footage in slow motion from 18 different angles and check 30 photos from twitter before making a decision.....THAT would slow the game right down! In all honesty, when i first saw the tackle i thought it was a red. And that is all the ref has to go on.
From what I remember was the ref not in and around the centre circle? He would surely have had a better view of Evans coming in 2 footed? I think Shelvey's tackle was reckless and certainly bordering on a red but in that case Evans should have gotten the same punishment

15 years ago it would not have been a foul.

And that's the way it should be now. It would put an end to these silly debates from know-it-alls who have benefitted from 24 hours, 14 video angles, 30 photographs, 300 angry forum users and 63 moronic pundits to confuse the issue.
