       Tackle is generous!  To me it was a kick.  Love John McGinn to
       bits (and his even better big brother) but he plays on the edge
       and he let himself and his club down today.

       Look to me like a kick at an opponent rather than a challenge
       for the ball.
       Excellent decision.

       Too often you see a yellow for that, correct decision to send
       him off.

       Aston Villa v Tottenham - Chris Kavanagh

       Superb decision, and I always hate seeing these given as YC.
       It’s not a ‘tackle’, as he doesn’t even pretend to go for the
       ball. Just a deliberate hack / wild kick which could be SFP / VC
       (I’d have said SFP initially) as the ‘tackle’ is dangerous /
       endanger safety. No way it’s overturned.

       > Just turned on to see Chris Kavanagh give an excellent RC to
       McGinn from Aston Villa. All too often these extremely cynical
       and deliberate 'attack' type fouls are given as yellow cards in
       the EPL, glad to see it punished correctly.

       Much as I'm delighted to see McGinn get a RC as this type of
       foul seems to be a part of his game, and otherwise he seems to
       spend the majority of matches winding up the opposition and
       re-refereeing matches, I also fear this could get overturned on
       appeal. Whilst the intent was unsavoury and it was reckless and
       cynical, I've seen far worse tackles as yellow cards so feel
       Villa will appeal

       Whilst I feel Villa might appeal and it might be rescinded, just
       to clarify this was a not a criticism of team ref at all. In
       fact it's refreshing to see a RC issued directly rather than the
       softer option of a YC and waiting for VAR to intervene.
