       From distance it doesn't look much, when you see it closer up
       it's a scissor tackle from behind. Agree it was dreadful.
       Thoughts with Harvey Elliot and I'm sure we all wish him a full
       recovery.

       Just watched the incident in slow motion. If some of the
       opinions on here about the challenge are genuinely what those
       individuals think and they represent what "officials" both past
       and those still involved in some capacity think then it is no
       wonder the state and standard of our officiating has fallen
       dramatically in recent years. There could not be a better
       example for the phrase "officials know the rules but don't
       understand the game".

       What do you mean don't understand the game?? He's scissor kicked
       his ankle from behind with a lot of force. I want to see
       competitiveness and tackles etc. but this is a clear no-no. Bad
       tackle, and correctly sanctioned

       I can only presume what your intention is here.  Asides from
       being staggeringly wrong about your interpretation of
       "endangering the safety of an opponent", you could really tidy
       up your language.
       Besides, player protection is hardly some sort of PC-term that
       only referees want.  Klopp was literally quoted as looking for
       protection in the last matchday against Burnley, and then this
       happens.
       We can have a more nuanced discussion about edge cases, and the
       Laws' purposes, but picking this hill to die on is an odd
       choice.

       Well spotted, definitely the most important point and hopefully
       they’ll get sanctioned accordingly

       I don’t think he would have been sent off if it wasn’t for the
       injury, whether the tackle deserved a red is a different
       conversation

       As I understand things ( and interpretations change so often
       it's hard to keep up ) intent now plays very little part in a
       decision to show a red card. It's about endangering safety. Well
       the unfortunate Elliott's safety was not only endangered it was
       breached in an horrific way. Now I suppose you could argue that
       every tackle has the potential to endanger safety so the
       question is, was this a freak result of the tackle or a logical
       consequence?  Henry Winter in the Times avers that a red card
       was the correct decision in response to the consequence of the
       tackle and I am usually content to go along with Winter's view.

       It's a lunge, from behind, off the ground. This isn't your
       normal 'trailing leg' foul - there's nothing to absorb any of
       the momentum, you've got the full force of the challenge being
       transferred into the back of Elliott's leg/ankle (which
       unfortunately for him was bearing nearly all of his weight).

       A theory that was greeted with scorn on here when applied to an
       illegal challenge that resulted in a broken nose and fractured
       eye socket.  Also, apparently, a goalkeeper having a tooth
       extracted by a flailing boot after making a save doesn't even
       warrant a stoppage in play.
