I was summarising for Radio Robins and said straightaway, at the time of the assault on JJ, it couldn't be described as a late challenge or a bad one because it wasn't a challenge at all. The ball was played past the defender on his left, and JJ ran past him on his right. Instead of turning in the direction the ball went, the defender turned to his right and planted his studs on Johnston's thigh, so how could that possibly be any sort of challenge or attempt to win the ball. It was a blatant kick that was violent conduct and should have been a straight red card, and it was that obvious watching it live, without any need for action replays. The fact the referee didn't see it that way just summed up his performance on the day. His insistence on stopping the play at regular intervals to deliver a needless lecture also incurred the wrath of the RR team, as I'm sure it did everyone else in a fantastic turnout.
