I'm (obviously) glad it'sbeen overturned- but I'm glad i don;t have to make the decision without the benefit ot replays, photos or time.
No grudge here

Im not bothered, you will win all the games he would have missed anyway and he is not playing to anywhere near the level of last season.

If United had of got the decision overturned, I can only imagine the meltdown.

[stuartmmcfc]

well, I doubt anyone would have been bothered if it had been just as contentious.
Certainly wouldn't have bothered posting comments on it on the utd forum

No, you might not have, but the spuddies & rest of the ABUs would

FWIW, personally I think that they might have been wrong to overturn this. On the one hand there is no doubt it wasn't a bad challenge & there was no malice in it. Also , in the context of some other challenges we have seen recently there was no way it was a red.

OTOH, the letter of the law seems clear & while it might have been a marginal call the ref made, arguably he got it right & they have just gone and undermined him and refs in general.

It will be interesting to see if we now see a a marked increase in the number of appeals on the back of it.

Equally, if they can overturn a red card like this, why do they not review some of the other decisions that have been made which were clearly much worse and more dangerous tackles than this which have either gone unpunished or just picked up a yellow?

I think all anyone wants is some consistency & clarity as to what the laws are and how they will be applied - and its high time they started dishing out cards retrospectively IMO - it would stop much of the nonsense that goes on on the pitch, overnight.

good result today, and it never looked in doubt. good to see aguero back, but we might be short at right back if zabaleta is injured and richards isn't back yet.

[Wacky Racer]

Yes, good win today, didn't really need to get out of second gear which was nice.

[stuartmmcfc]

there were some glaring misses towards the end though!

You're right

I know you'll link the Aguero goal, but you had the PL tied up and simply bottled until that point.

[stuartmmcfc]

I wont bother - it's obviously burned into your memory.
You must wake up every night wondering how you threw away an 8 point lead with only 6 matches to go.

Fergie must be cracking up at the thought of how you lot are being wound in
