Never a red card. You see exactly that go unpunished in every other premier league game.

The ref has cost us the game.

Surely you're on the WUM? How can you say the referee cost us the game? It was an obvious red card.

It wasn't an obvious red card.

It wasn't an obvious red card.

I just don't get how you can say that, he hauled him down in the penalty area and held onto to him....100% red.

if he would have 100% got to the ball first. he wouldnt have, therefore its not a clear goalscoring opportunity so not a red

Exactly right.

It wasn't an obvious red - it wasn't an obvious not red. It is an area of discretion - the ref could have gone either way.

I can't agree, I've seen loads it and that's a penalty and red in my book, he clearly stops Dzeko getting to the ball by grabbing hold of him with both arms and hauling him down.

Ref made the decision and the pundits agreed, if you follow the laws of the game then he had to be sent off.

Like I implied, I'm not prepared to die in a ditch arguing either way on this decision. He is sent off - I've no complaint even though a penalty provided the most obvious remedy for this.

Not really, it was mike dean.

Replay shows the kompany sending off is fair enough.
