Was it or was it not?
Having just watched it on MOTD, I thought it should have only been a yellow for a high foot, he had his eye on the ball, so regardless of whether contact was made, surely it's just a yellow.
It seems that if a stretcher is being called for now, the refs are too quick to pull out a red.
The high feet rule is there to protect players, and it is to book players who raise their feet to high.
Mido's 6'3" ish and Clichy is at least a full 6" smaller, it happens.
