So it seems that getting players to surround the ref after an incident does pay off, it certainly did for Wigan last night. What a weak ref Anthony Taylor proved to be, in front of the national TV cameras too. It sends out a message that if you give the ref enough verbal's he might change his mind, he really has set up his colleagues for a load of hassle !
15 years ago that challenge wouldn't have been a booking let alone a sending off.
Well unless you have a time machine what you have said about the sending of is irreverent as this is now not then. The challenge made was quite similar to that of the Walsall lad who took out Foley a few weeks back. Red card. After seeing the City fans reaction after the game, good job
Arrogance is so ugly. Alan Shearer is correct when he said that the big teams should put out their first 11 and then make subs when/if they go ahead.
