Poor first red, but the second was just stupid. A needless challenge by the Chilean as the ball was going out anyway. I am glad the ref showed him red as too many players dive in with crazy challenges these days.
WBA should have drawn the game, they had an excellent chance right at the end.
what has tackling someone (WBA) against Blackpool that was clearly a straight red have to do with Nani handballing the ball at old trafford?.
I agree the first red card was stupid but this has no way being the same situation as your game.
Like i said, even fergie said it was a mistake by the assistant not flagging for handball and yes he said it was an error from the gomes the keeper . Is handball not a foul or deliberatly handball and straight red in the penalty box?
Also, i was not aware that if a team went down to 7 men from sendings off the game is abandoned???? This is what the commentators said during the game?
