WATCH: Should Hull's Oumar Niasse have seen red?

Oumar Niasse was given his marching orders less than half an hour into the clash between Hull and Watford. But was referee Bobby Madley wrong to brandish the red card?
After a fairly even opening, both Niasse and AC Milan-loanee M'Baye Niang approached a loose ball in the middle of the park; a lift of the leg from the former was perhaps the slight movement that sealed his fate.
The studs on his boots were undoubtedly raised, but Niasse had his eyes on the ball and the contact on Niang's shin was minimal at best, though the midfielder's reaction would suggest otherwise.

This is a continuation of my article » on the night Dagrin died. On our way back from LUTH, Mr Ayo Animashaun called us and told us to go where Dagrin lived to see if anyone was at his apartment and probably interview them. Prior to his death, Dagrin had moved to a new and fancy housing estate, sort of a like a mini-1004 estate, at the outskirts of Agege. We found the estate in no time and convinced the security guards to let us in. We drove around the estate for thirty minutes because we didn't know Dagrin's building and apartment number. I guess a bus roaming around a pretty estate at midnight must have scared the people who lived in the estate. We parked the bus and found Dagrin's apartment eventually. It was locked. Nobody was there. When we got back to the bus, some of the residents had already come out from their flats. They more or less kicked us out of the estate. Everyone was protective about Dagrin. Anyway, we got back to the office and it was empty. I wrote t...
