Quote ="fartownfan"It was a late hit to the head & a straight forward red card. That's enough. He broke the rules & was punished accordingly. I've seen Saints players do similar things & get a free pass so I can't really understand the righteous indignation. It was good refereeing ( for once).'"
Can you provide any examples?
As for it being good refereeing, I'm not too sure whether Child would have sent him off with Ganson's help following a look at the replay.
IIRC Childs started talking to McIlorum (sp) and then stopped when the replay was viewed and only then got out the red card.
It's my belief that had the match not been on Sky he wouldn't have been sent off.
