There was nothing dangerous about it. I've seen harder tackles down my local youth club. People want to cut tackling out of the game altogether. Looks like you're in the minority Goofle; the FA don't rescind red cards unless they have to. They obviously agreed the ref got it wrong, nothing wrong with the tackle. Yellow card maybe, certainly not red.

I have to wonder, if this had been an Arsenal player would you still be so up in arms about it being "dangerous"?
