Tiote's sending off was terrible. Could be argued it wasn't even a yellow

and a deserved red

This seems to be the type of tackle the pro's want to condemn.

an elbow in an aerial challenge is probably fair game to these two, but a high potential leg breaker challenge like the Tiote one is not on.

Shearer is Newcastle through and through too, so for him to say it was a red is quite telling.

*Bear in mind this BBC Newcastle and it was John Anderson who said it.

Myself I'm the surprised it's only his second red for Newcastle as he's a dirty **** or overly committed**. Mind what normally happens is that he gets a yellow & calms down after that. Even Newcastle fans reckon he's a bit of a liability.

**depending on your viewpoint.
