Laughatme is shown a straight red today for "excessive force". Is that the same a violent conduct and subsequently a ban must be served i the next competetive match, even though its the cup?

I think a straight red card automatically misses the next fixture, regardless of compitition
He probably got himself sent off deliberately so he wouldn’t have to face us in the cup. It must be hard for him knowing he could’ve signed for us, but chose that mob.

I've seen worse tackles this season not been shown reds - Stevie Mays on Boyle and Harry Cockring on SJM.
Of course they should have been red though so thats not saying much.
Potter will appeal no doubt.
No effort to play the ball in the slightest, serious foul play/endangering the opponent,if that gets rescinded it's a total joke
Cowards tackle, red all day I think they will win the appeal though considering what Jack has got away with this year.
I’ll be honest, would be disappointed if we got a red for that . At that angle anyway
Seen an awful lot worse go unpunished. The player brought down wants to get on with the game and his teammates have got the hump. Would expect that to be challenged.
Jambo tackle that. The one on McGinn by their wee sperm of a midfielder in the first derby was far worse though.
Given a couple of Ryan Jack's successful appeals they'd be daft not to appeal that.
Not sure that is more than a yellow
On Alba now
If I hadn't known in advance that it was Lafferty, then I'd have said a yellow card was appropriate.
Since it was Lafferty, it should be a six match ban based on him being a thug.
Looks like a yellow.
All the pundits on Sportsound said it was a red. Okay he is a Don but Richard Gordon called him a disgrace. He wasn’t just referring to the tackle but his entire attitude to football.
So does he miss the cup game ? If they appeal then surely the beaks will have dealt with it before we play.
Did lafferty not get an Aberdeen player sent off by falling to the ground after a non headbutt?
Definite yellow, red harsh and would expect to be appealed.
In isolation that’s harsh.......however it’s about bloody tike someone took them to task for their ridiculous tactics.
I think they should be sending players off for challenges like that.
It has to be considered violent conduct, there is literally no attempt to play the ball so what else can it be?
He's gone into that challenge with one intention and one intention only, and that's to bring down the Aberdeen player. He's gone in with plenty force and at a bad height.
Red card all day long.
Levien said it was unfair.Reason? He only just missed the ball! Willie Miller was pretty dismissive of that.
It's Lafferty... definitely a red... just for being him. Thug!
Straight red and should have another red added for his attitude to the ref after he was dismissed. Compliance officer please note.
Red all day long. Can’t tackle someone half way up their legs.
If that is a red McGinns today was also a red.
Think that clip is slowed down as well.....would look worse in real time.
