You may well be in the minority thinking that this qualifies as VC. Here is what the LOTG says regarding VC on page 61:
"He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses
excessive force or brutality against a team-mate or any other person."
Did the player use excessive force or brutality against the referee when taking his card? I seriously doubt it. Therefore, I'm against citing VC as the reason for the send off.
