We really don't, though. We really don't regularly see players being knocked unconscious by full-blooded reckless swinging arms flush to the jaw.
If Paddy hadn't been sent off, then the disciplinary would have given him 2 games or 1 for an EGP. As he was sent off and at an early stage it is possible he may get sending off sufficient given his record. Either way the decision will vindicate Child, as it will confirm his offence merits a short absence from the game.
(But then we will have another argument on how ridiculous the disciplinary decision was etc.)
