From the Foxsports website, talking about whether Cahill will cop 1 or 2 games:
"The referee has reported that, in an attempt to win the ball, the player used excessive force in tackling an opponent from behind, thereby causing danger," a Football Federation Australia (FFA) spokesman said.
"As it was a direct red card and not two yellow cards, additional disciplinary sanctions may be imposed on the player - additional suspension, fine, etc. "
Did the ref watch the same game as the rest of us?
Red card, maybe...1-game suspension...possibly...but 2 games for "excessive force".
And I would hardly call it a dangerous tackle.
Seriously....
