I'd actually be pretty happy if those sorts of cynical challenges were red cards but they're very rarely given and that in itself makes me think it was a soft one.

This is what it basically boils down to.

Sure it'd actually be good for football for these sort of cynical challenges to be wiped out for good as they disrupt the game and turn into the sort of anti-football shite that Pulis excels at but the arbitrary application of it with Xhaka being the only victim so far of it (thanks a lot of John Moss) is incredibly galling.
