was only a yellow card because he largely missed. Had he caught Sterling full and broken his ankle, yeah, that would have been a red.

Following that logic, if you swing a punch at an opponent and miss, it is only a yellow card.

And a two-footed, studs up lunge that could easily end an opponent's career deserves the same punishment as taking a tiny bit too long to take a throw in.

Football is utterly ****ing bonkers.
