He went in with two feet from behind halfway up his body! Letissier thinks either lino or 4th official made the call as ref seemed to go for yellow card, but at end day it was a totally unnecessary tackle and cannot argue about red as was reckless however way you look at it .

There's being cynical by shirt pulling for a yellow and then there's being blatantly cynical by launching yourself across the man with the ball a good 5 yards ahead. A ridiculous decision by Ralls and the referee had no alternative in my opinion.

was a professional foul which until today ive never seen anything but a yellow given at any level....yes he launched HIMSELF across the player deliberately bringing his run to an end...but there was no two footed studs up tackle which some are claiming.....

If Ralls just pulled his shirt or tripped him, it's a yellow, but Ralls totally wiped him out. Now if Ralls actually went for the ball and got close to the ball, it would have been a yellow card for that foul. The problem is there was absolutely no attempt by Ralls to play the ball.
Put it this way, if a player lashed out and kicked an opponent off the ball, he would get a straight red. The ball was so far away and the foul was so cynical with Ralls flying into Lucas, I think it's fair to say that Ralls deliberately targeted Lucas and took him out off the ball. Ralls targeted Lucas and it was such a deliberate foul, I think he fully deserved the red.

Ralls should've just pulled his arm or barged him. To dive across was a bit silly.

Yup. Exactly my point. Just cos Ralls' foul looked more like he smashed him. Didn't have as much of as an effect on the game.
Maybe our players need to start acting like babies?! Maybe that's the premier league experience required! Cos we matched them at football today.

thats more likely to succeed im premiership there's so many babies think need to have nurseries for the players?
pens are bought by players making the foul as apposed to being fouled, and contact is about making a 6 course meal out of it for maximum effect.
