You see tackles like it every game almost. Player sidesteps a bit and the tackler doesn't react in time. I therefore expect Stokes to issue red in almost every game if he is to be consistent.

You mean he will get to ruin - I mean ref another game?? I thought he was just on work experience & failed!

Was it not similar to the sending off at magic?
hey we all complain when the officials take no action, or use the on report as a get out.

In fairness to Stokes I thought a red was warranted at the time. Does look harsh on the highlights though

OK, I'll take this no further - I remember getting involved in a lengthy dispute on here a few years ago about Stokes making what I thought was a bad decision (against us of course) when he was touch judge at The Stoop.
