Having looked at it one more time and I think it's unfair to call it wreckless. I think it was an honest attempt to get the ball. But their lad gets there a split second earlier. Byrne's leg is high but barely touches their lad who makes a meal of it. It's easy to see why a ref might give a red in real time. But I think the suitable punishment would be a 1 match ban as I feel there was no intent and the was accidental. Byrne was unlucky to foul him. However we know the FA are very stubborn when it comes to things like that. They don't look at all the facts at the time.
Furthermore fans moaning about him going in for that challenge in the first place would have been a lot more annoyed and even more if their lad haf broke away and they would have hit a winning goal. Everyone would have slated him for pulling out the tackle. He was right to take the risk.

Yoni, how would you have treated Morison/Tex incident vs Millwall? SM seemed to get off unscathed. Is this likely because only the ball throwing was seen? Does it matter if either were after the end of the game? Any other refs have a view?

Dont forget though the ball throwing incident was only for a yellow card - It just happened to be a second offence for Tex

More interested in violent conduct issue. If ball was in play a push in the back could be deemed a yellow. But surely play stopping drags it into realm of violent conduct or unsporting behavior worthy of a red?
