It's on the Blues twitter account. A very innocuous challenge which was never, ever a red & probably not even a yellow.

Everyone seemed shocked when he gave a red. Absolutely terrible decision.

As a Glasgow fan, I have to say that I agree that the red was harsh. I thought a yellow was a possibility, but I wouldn’t have been upset by a penalty with no further sanction. Cardiff did well to break up Glasgow’s patterns and the score flattered Glasgow at the end.

Toughest red of the season so far.. Looked like an accidental collision..
Have to say that I`m relieved that it was Little Nige. who had the final call on that one..

It felt like a tough red, but on the other hand its nice to see someone putting player welfare above anything else. Driving a shoulder into someones head is dangerous after all. Be interesting to see if other refs follow and start actually looking after players now.

The red was a shocking decision. The player was already tackled and thus was falling into Falise who was trying to use his arm in the tackle. Unfortunately the momentum from the tackle let the Glasgow player's head to connect with Filise's shoulder. Not pleasant but accidental and not a red card.
