"Butterfield's feet were not off the ground and he got a little bit of the ball. He also caught the player as well and because of that he falls down. "I think the reaction of the player (Hoolahan) and the crowd, which I can understand, played a part in it."Here's another look at the tackle, just in case it wasn't already clear that McClaren is very wrong:
Hoolahan reacted the way he did, by clutching his shin, because his shinpad had been sent flying after he was taken down with a reckless tackle.
He didn't "fall down", but was cut down by the tackle. Butterfield got very little, if any, of the ball.
The Derby midfielder made more contact with Hoolahan's shinpad than the ball.
McClaren's suggestion that Hoolahan, and the home crowd at Carrow Road, were partly responsible for the red card is also very unfair on the Norwich midfielder.
However, this isn't the first time McClaren has been spectacularly wrong.
