Lots written about this already, but I thought this article offered a good perspective. The passage below perfectly articulates the situation:
"Football is quick and physical, especially in this country, and “coming togethers” — legal or otherwise — will often have a dramatic outcome. Referees can’t make decisions based on what happens after a tackle, they have to see an offence at the point of contact if they are going to punish a player — and Stroud clearly didn’t do that."
