Re: The red card farce
Not sure the sequence of events.
Rutherford appeared to leave the field very quickly - perhaps he and the ref were the only ones to see the red card.
The 4th official is somewhat blameworthy - lacked control of who left and joined the field - but if the ref had held aloft the red card a bit longer everyone would have been in no doubt - think it fooled the bench too as both subs were about to come on....then confusion all round - a bizzare incident and chances of those unreal circumstances happening again are highly unlikely.
