It's ridiculous to have any complaints about the red at all, his studs end up in Mitoma's thigh! I think the only thing Sheffield could maybe be frustrated by was the disallowed goal. Under the current rules it's probably correctly disallowed, but VAR and Atwell made a right pig's ear of the whole thing and it took bloody forever to reach a decision

Yes, we all did...
Wilder fined £11,500 for his outbursts at the SandwichGate loss.

Was he asked which referee told him decisions would go against him? If true - this is a much bigger story.
The fantasy world of Wilder.

Wilder needs to own his poor results, and not hint, imply etc, without providing any you know, evidence, that there's some conspiracy against him.
Someone like Paul Whitehouse could do a wonderful parody of delusional Wilder in his post match rants.

Indeed. Or maybe Harry Enfield, with his slightly menacing persona when interviewed by people who ask penetrating questions.

That's one expensive sandwich
But they did get the correct decision.
We probably should have had a penalty - I wonder if Wilder's upset about that. Maybe if we'd got it, they'd have saved it and that would have given them the spark to go on and win the game.
If we'd got it, then by rights, their player should have been sent off as he made no attempt to play the ball. So they would have been down to nine.

And he didn’t even get to eat the sandwich
I don't know if it has to be as black and white as that - maybe he didn't intend to run in to the back of Mitoma, but it was clumsy and he left himself nowhere to go.
"He also said he had been told by a Premier League referee before the game that every 50-50 decision would go against his team."
WTF? Either a referee should be dismissed, or, maybe, Wilder was lying?

Doesn't that only apply if the defender is also the last man and it's a denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity.
In this case Sheffield United also had 2 or 3 players in and around the 6 yard box, their captain could certainly have been considered to be in a position to block any shot, so I'm not sure it would be a clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity if the penalty was given.
Oh yes - I'd forgotten that bit!!

He didn't just run into his back. He pushed him over, with both hands
Yeah I know, but if you were bumping into the back of someone in the street you'd put your hands up to stop yourself tripping over them. I don't think it had to be a red card.

I don't think it had to be a red card either.
It had to be a penalty though
