Ok, then perhaps you can humour me and show me the rule that states that winning the ball studs first is irrelevant if the victim arrive too late and gets clattered.

The notion that a player can be first to the ball and then it is up to his opponent to get out of the way of anything that follows is very outdated.
'Intention' is irrelevant. 'Endangering safety' is the operative phrase and therefore the ref had little option.
Three game ban. He'll miss the start of next season if Brighton don't get to Wembley

Law 12 - A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play. A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.
Now you show me where it says that the 'victim' has to get out of the way.
So why did the ref originally pull the yellow card????
Indeed, you're right with regards to Law 12.......if we can agree that there was "excessive force or brutality" or that you can "tackle" a loose ball.

Well they are not very good at it. One said we would be financially better off coming second as we still get all the money but do have to pay win bonuses!
Who the feck remembers who came second! The value of the world-wide publicity of being champions is possibly incalculable!

I think Leicester fans will always remember that Spurs came second...
...unless Arsenal overtake them.

Grr. I still bear the emotional scars from that season - bar Matty's late winner at Villa in the cup. Walking back to Erdington had never been so enjoyable.
Bullshit, it was a terrible tackle and in my opinion he did intend harm. Frankly it could have been worse I have seen broken legs from tackles like that.

It's a contact sport. I'd suggest sticking to netball.
Surprisingly/unsurprisingly the FA have upheld the red card shown to Stephens. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36261242
Slapping a card out of the the ref's hand is clearly perfectly acceptable, though.
