Hard done by or not???

The more I see the Andy Carroll sending off the more I think the ban is right. Yes Chico Flores should have been sent off for the most ridiculous reaction to it but it does appear that Carroll knew where his arm would go as he spun round. Slow mo replays even look a little to show him raise it slightly. His arm was stiff and carried a bit more momentum than normal and I think he knew where it would go even if he couldn't be sure if it would connect or not.

Inclined to agree with you Gary - a challenge of the utmost recklessness and significant over reaction
