I have been quite confused over the ruling on this one. On Friday night, in the SL, Mick MclLorum was sent off (Red) within the first five/ six minutes of the match. My understanding of the rules was that, for a sole, reckless high shot, then the referee only has two options: Red Card or On Report. In other words, you can't be sinbinned for a sole high shot? (I'm not talking about persistent fouling here which, of course, you can be sin binned for.)

Is this correct or have the rules changed?
