True, we need to stop giving reds for silly things like two footed tackles

and grabbing players by the throat

and instead introduce them for, I'm not really sure what, daring to tackle players from "big" teams?
I don't know about the whole of Dyche's tenure but in the 100 plus premier league games in a row when Burnley had no red cards Arsenal topped the red card table with something like 13.
Burnley under Kompany are a much more cynical, fouling team but no one mentions it if you knock it around at the back a bit too.
