carling cup final
Seems to referee dowd was scared of alex ferguson,s critiscim,of him had he sent off vidic,which to everyone else was a certainty,.
good game ,shame it had a poor referee
Fantastic match and yes agreed – a pity the referee was a manchester united fan – before you judge on being a aston villa fan – I`m married to leeds
come on you reffs
its a red card – its in the rules
last man, foul, its a red card , no interpretation “red card”
got it wrong big style
shame good game in the end !!!!!!
when all said and done this was a mistake by a peretentious man who fails to relaise his own inablity to carry out the most fundamental part of his remit, it certainly assisted united, however the other question which has been left behind was this mans inconsistency with yellow cards as he deemed villa players challenges which were equal in measure to united [layers yet differing outcomes. Surely someone at the FA should finally get to grips with these obese forty somethings destroying the enjoyment of millions of people who watched this game live.
A very dodgy decision, apparently because it was such a big occasion and very early in the game, hmmmm, think I’ve heard it all now.
