One of the funniest too. What a match that was. I reckon Schumacher on Battiston was possibly worse.

That's not a red - that's a five-year stretch for assault !

My favorite 'professional foul' ever. Remember watching it live and thinking WTF did he just do.

Yea. Must be a pretty bad feeling for him as well as it wont help him get the big games.

Yeah that was part of my lame joke
Maybe I should've really pushed it home with some spelling mistakes

That's my favourite as well, it's the amount of hang time that does it for me, he doesn't make any attempt to hide it

Ref very clearly forgetting that he was already on a yellow and then realising that he's gotta send him off
The ref shouldn't consider that he has previously booked a player, IF its a yellow card then its a yellow card, and if that results in a sending off thats the players fault.
If Refs did it more often for say, blatant time wasting in the 88th minute, then players on a yellow would be far less likely to do it, rather than the the ref won't send me off for time wasting as I am on a yellow attitude.
To often refs hold back for blatant yellows (Liverpool had one last week) because they dont want to send players off for relatively minor offences

And this
I don’t have a problem with that decision at all. I wish more refs would clamp down on time wasting. They had already been warned.

Well yes, but rightly or wrongly, to them it's also about game management as opposed to just applying the law. Really interesting seeing Howard Webb talk about this on BT sport:

And also note the left jab he gives to the bearded bloke in the aftermath - which jerks his head back into the face of one of his own team mates

tried to listen to that as would have liked to hear the ref, but savage and moyes just shouting over him put me off. can'tt stand either of them, they have to be the centre of the discussion

And this
He wasn't sent off for taking too long over a throw. He was given a yellow.
Which was his second of the game.
I'm afraid that I did laugh rather a lot at the time.

I witnessed a good sending off at Cheshunt v Bognor in the Isthmian Premier Division yesterday (Saturday 9/10).
In the 81st minute with Bognor 1-0 up, Bognor decided to take off striker Jordy Mongoy, who walked very slowly off the pitch. The referee felt he was taking too long to get off and so showed him a yellow card (a deserved booking).
Bognor's substitute then ran on, but the referee suddenly decided that he had booked Mongoy earlier in the game (he hadn't).
Even though the Bognor players, the Cheshunt players, both benches and also the local reporters all told the referee he was making a mistake he seemed sure of his facts. Unfortunately neither of his assistants seemed able to confirm anything for him.
The referee ignored everyones protests and stuck with the red card.
Bognor then had to remove the substitute that had just run on.
Bognor held on for the final 9+6 minutes to win 1-0.
After the game the referee apologised to Bognor and said he will state his mistake in his report.
It's expected the red card will be rescinded.
