As the amendment states: "When a denial of a goalscoring opportunity offence is committed by a defender in the penalty area, the penalty kick effectively restores the goalscoring opportunity so the punishment for the player should be less strong (e.g. a yellow card) than when the offence is committed outside the penalty area. However, when the offence is handball or clearly not a genuine attempt to play or challenge for the ball, the player will be sent off."
learn to read, marcin. i'm well aware of that rule change concerning accidental fouls and genuine attempts to get the ball, therfore i specifically stated "deliberate foul" so even casual fans like you would understand what i'm talking about:

why do you think the red card was not justified? it's an automatic red card if you deny a clear goalscoring opportunity with a deliberate foul...
ref didn't look good by showing him the yellow card first and it sure sucks for arsenal, but it's the right decision in the end, learn the rules, boys... blame kos, not the ref...
