Saved me the post.It was ludicrous that MM (with over 1000 games experience) couldnt see there was a big chance he would get sent off. When I spoke to my son on the phone about the first half we both thought he should be taken off before he was sent off. The kid even gave a sight of what was to come when he clashed with one of their players about five mins earlier. No excuses for MM there and he should have been subbed.
I would also have gone further and subbed Connelly with Nelson, Connelly's position will always mean he will have to make tackle's that opposing player's can make a meal of.
So for me after the first minute a lot of teams may have targeted Connelly.
