What's ridiculous is it's not dropped to a yellow - just wiped out altogether.

True, but I heard they couldn't do that. Rule (yes I know) is that a straight red can't be 'downgraded' to a yellow - it's all or nothing. Vidic's was two yellows, so I would guess that could have been 'downgraded' to just one yellow. [Cynical mode on] Still, what's the more serious offence - a rugby tackle or a light tap to an opponents' face (Aliadiere at Liverpool at the end of last season)?...... To answer my own question, I suppose it depends if your England's captain. [cynical mode off]

Utter rubbish - it was cynical, it would of left two against 1, and that 1 had to get accross the pitch 1st so you could argue he was through on goal, afterall he isnt a slow player.

Im sure had it been Samba then it would of stood.

Of course it would. The guy they interviewed on the radio tried to tell us that if it had been a Luton town player or whatever the decision would have been the same but we all know it wouldn't. It's that refusal to face facts that annoys me and many other fans.

I suppose I am sure Spurs will eventually get out of the bottom 3. I'm less confident about us.

I'm less confident about us as well - that's why it's important to enjoy any small bits of joy e.g. the prospect that Bentley may not play Champions League football for the next two seasons, Curbishley and Neill falling out, Allardyce not having a job, etc. etc. :lol::lol::lol:

To be honest Spurs looked very poor last night. very lightweight in midfield and Bent is not a natural goal scorer. The Russian looked so slow too. I think Bentley`s career has stalled at the moment. No England place or Tottenham`s guaranteed. The grass always seems greener...

It seems Sir Alex is not happy with the decision to cancel John Terry's red card, I think that if Man Utd were not playing Chelsea this week then Fergie wouldn't have mentioned it.

Fergie not happy, but when is he?

I watched the incident on TV, not knowing that Terry had been sent off and as soon as I saw it I said to my wife ooh that's a red card offence... Sure enough Halsey produced a red card. Terry basically rugby tackled the player while the defensive cover was remote to say the least. The player would have been though on goal with the keeper to beat and Carvalho would have had a hell of a job to get across to make a challenge. It was a yellow at the very least.

Someone should ask Fergie how many penalties Scum have conceded at home in the last 17 years and how many times added time has been extended until they scored when, magically just after, the ref blows to end the game.

(No, I'm not cynical... ;))

Agreed on the Fergie cynicism, he likes a good moan (I wonder if he's a closet Rovers fan?). The problem with Terry was that Halsey deemed Terry to have committed serious foul play, not a professional foul. It wasn't that bad, a booking would have been right, however I also think that if Halsey changed his report to a professional foul Terry would not have got off.

Interesting to see that Craig Fagan has broken his leg as a result of that dreadful Danny Guthrie challenge. I bet Guthrie will not be demonised like Lucas was for his tackle on Carragher! You cant get away with injuring Sir Jamie, but I doubt the media will care about Fagan!

and Guthrie has got away without any further charges from the F.A....

bbc.co.uk report

"The FA doesn't have the power to extend automatic suspensions.

"The only circumstances in which we could take any further action would be to issue an additional charge against a player."

So why isn't a further charge implemented by the F.A? Farcical decision....
