By the letter of the law it's a red regardless how soft.

By the absolute letter of the law yes, and I’m not defending what he did, but in the context of the occasion, how early in the game and how ridiculously soft, I think the ref should use discretion.

It’s stuff like that which makes footballers and the game look pathetic.

Ruined the game as a contest. No doubt they’d have won though.
