So wait.....I didn't get to watch the match yesterday (thanks work), but this is the "kick to the chest" that got Nani sent off???
Holy shit, that's a fricking joke. The way it was being described, I thought it was a De Jong vs Alonso style boot planted squarely in the sternum. Nani was tracking the ball over his left shoulder, Arbeloa is approaching from his right - Nani doesn't even know another player is in his vicinity until basically the moment of contact.
In a match with merely mediocre officiating that is, at worst, a yellow 10 out of 10 times.

Sure, if any play where studs get above waist level is reckless. By that standard any time a player attempts to control the ball with his boot in this manner (which is not uncommon - probably at least once a match) or any time a player attempts a bicycle kick it should be eligible for a straight red, I guess.
Is the deciding factor for red or no red then whether or not another player approaches unseen and inadvertent contact is made? Anyone who has ever even played a pickup game will tell you that's a ridiculous standard.
And, just like yesterday, I am stuck in an office and get to live vicariously though those that can actually watch.

Apparently you missed the part about having, at a minimum, mediocre officials.

The challenge puts in danger the physical integrity of the opposing player. Intent doesn't matter here, Nani has the responsibility to be aware of the surrounding players and be careful with his cleats.
Edit: Document from FIFA: LINK
“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent. Did Nani commit a foul that put in danger the opponent's physical integrity? Yes. Red card, easy call.
quote:
From the laws of the game: A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the following seven offences: • serious foul play • violent conduct • spitting at an opponent or any other person • denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area) • denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick • using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures • receiving a second caution in the same match
I don't see the word "intent" or the phrase "importance of the game" included in this rule.

I can see why United fans are complaining here, but if Pepe did this to Van Persie people would scream bloody murder. It's a harsh decision, but not a wrong one in my opinion.
There ya go, three arguments with the most traction on reddit.

Everytime I see it, everytime, there is no way I would have sent him off... I understand what the ref sees and why he did it, I just disagree...
But... It also makes their loss even more enjoyable

It's a tough call either way.
Do I think it deserves a red? Honestly, after watching that replay, not really, because he didn't see the RM player and was clearly just going for the ball.
That said, the laws of the game are the laws of the game. Don't be mad at the referee, but mad at FIFA.

Officials are part of the game. This isn't the first time we've seen bad calls. Most certainly won't be the last. To say that any judgement call would be interpreted in one way 100% of the time is ridiculous.

goes right back to my point that if you call Nani's lunge to control a free ball, in which he is unaware of an opposing player approaching from his blind side, an "excessive use of force", then all plays where studs get above knee height could result in "excessive use of force" and the only deciding factor between a red card and no card is whether or not inadvertent contact is made.
The rules (from the FIFA link) are clearly written for when two players, aware of each other, are challenging each other for the ball. That was not this situation.
"Intent", while not actually appearing in the written rules, is vital to how the rules are implemented.

I didn't actually do more than skim any of it, I just posted all that so he would have a sense of being part of the argument. Sucks to miss those big matches because of work, just giving him the full experience 
ETA: Copy-pasta is a wonderful thing, plus sort by top comments.. badda bing badda boom.

Well if you are going to go by the rule book I'm not sure how every game doesn't end like 7 v 7. These guys rip the refs/linesmen all the time with offensive and insulting language and gestures.

Harsh call.. not totally incorrect but always feel that if in doubt make the conservative call and affect the game in the least manner possible.
Don't see intent to harm another player(as the common law system of the game has put into the rule like the Brady tuck rule in American football) or use of excessive force to trap a ball in the air. should be a yellow..
granted im a little bit of a homer, but flip the sides I wouldn't have been enraged if Pepe would have only gotten a yellow for similar hypothetical play on RvP

What in the "laws of the game" allows you to interpret that as a red card?

Jose went over to Sir Alex, and told him, it was no red.
they respect each other, and Jose would not do that with any other manager.
