Alan Hansen (on MOTD) said "it was NEVER a red card! It was a brilliant tackle".
But Mark Hughes isn't afraid to tell a pack of lies, if it benefits him.
Mark Hughes: "I'm sure Gus feels a little bit aggrieved about it, but my interpretation of it was that maybe Wes was a little bit out of control and a little bit reckless.
"At the time I thought it was a poor challenge.
"Whether or not it merited a sending-off that is obviously the debate after the game, which is a shame because it takes the shine off our performance. We played really well today.
"I've looked at it myself on a laptop and I think from different angles it looks worse than from other angles.
"Obviously the referee, from his angle, felt it merited a sending-off and I can understand why that's the case.
"Charlie got caught on the outside of his legs about shin-level. We can get a video on a laptop and take a look if you want!"
Charlie Adam: "Yes he certainly clipped me."
