That kind of physical contact truly is unacceptable in football.
What the hell was he doing!?
He possibly could have broke his neck had he hit him full on there.
Straight red in my opinion.
Definitely.

Thank you!
I don't know about 2nd yellow - I thought it was a straight red. It wasn't even a tackle. No attempt at the ball, straight over him, elbow to the face.
I can imagine what would have happened if it had been one of our players on one of theirs. Bergkamp gets called dirty for trying to take a quick free kick against Newcastle, but little if anything will be said about this, I bet.
Will the FA refer it to the video panel? I'm not holding my breath.
Still, we won. No 'Quadruple' - and with the Worthless Cup, there's not even a potential Treble really. So it's all good!

He lost control inside 30 seconds, when you have two of the best teams in the country playing, you need a good ref. Jeff Winter is not that, could have been worse, ir Rennie had been ref we could have had a full scale riot.
Yeah, he let quite a few things pass.
I think his reasoning for this was, though, that he knew there would be alot more to come, and he didn't want to frequently hold up the play.
If he had stopped play at every foul, the match would still be going on......

Nothing on RvN's majestic swan-dive just outside the area, though. :-)
And of course there was the 'steamroller with leading elbow' right over Lauren. Wonder what would have been said if that had been Bergkamp, eh?
Still, just proves that we didn't really turn up at Old Trashyard in December. United knew they couldn't out-play us if we performed, so they tried to knock us out of our stride right from the start. But we didn't rise to the bait, and when that didn't work, they had nothing else to fall back on. The words "off", "played" and "park" spring to mind...
United got owned. Haven't heard the OT crowd silenced like that since... ooh, last season!
Oh, and that Giggs miss more than makes up for the 'wonder goal' of a few years ago. :-D
The league last season - 1-0. The FA Cup this season - 2-0. If by any chance we should make the Champion's League final there and win that... how sick will they be?! :-)

Not only do they win the match but i'd like to give them a couple more awards.
The *high jump* award goes to - Martin Keown. Almost cleared the stadium with that jump with the tap from RVN helping him on his way.
The *delayed reaction to a tackle* award goes to - Lauren. Gets smacked in the *ahem* with Scholes trying to kick the ball at him, Lauren looks at him for about an hour then decides *oops better go down now holding my leg which got kicked about 2 minutes ago* Cheating scum trying to get Scholes sent off.
The *superman* award goes to - Thierry Henry for taking flight about 2 yards before he got near Gary Neville. All together now, *I believe i can fly .......*
And well, United may as well win something today.
The *Me nan could have scored that* award goes to - Ryan Giggs and Ole Solksjaer. These are meant to be top class players and they can't even score in open goals. Giggs' miss was abysmal and well Solskjaer had Scholes obstructing him a bit but still should have scored with Seaman over the other side of the goal eating a prawn sandwich or something.
Very, very annoying weekend so far with United and the LA Lakers losing
