No intent? Next you are going to say he was going for the ball. I read that other thread that intent is well gone now days and they look at a whole bunch of other stuff.
Do you see the ball in that image? How can you say no intent when the ball is not even there to be played at.
Granted its not the worst red card you will ever see in your life but thats still a leg breaker.
Edit: I can't find the bloody thread damn it but a ref was posting something about it. The search function needs fixing.
