Payne may have had his eyes on the ball but made no attempt to jump for it. It was reckless and dangerous and could have left Goode paralysed. I can't believe the number of posts I have read on various sites saying it shouldn't have been a red card because he had eyes on ball, it was unintentional and best of all it was early in the game! Excellent decision by referee. If Payne had made any attempt to actually get the ball it may have made a difference. Simply looking at the ball is not sufficient there has to be some attempt to go for it. Lots of sour grapes from the Ulster fans. Would they have been so vociferous if it had been Goode who had committed the offence? I doubt it</p></blockquote><p></p>
