As straight red cards go, this one was pretty emphatic.
Liverpool were level at 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park when in the 17th minute, Lucas Neill was give his marching orders for a wild high lunge on Jamie Carragher.
Reds striker Milan Baros had already left the field on six minutes with a broken ankle and he was about to be joined in the ambulance by his defensive teammate. Neill's dangerous challenge not only resulted in an immediate dismissal for the Australian, but left Carragher with a broken leg.
