AVB whingeing. Only took his first defeat to get him started. No mention of what should have been a Cole red card and sending off for foul on Nani. Bellend.

Rednose would never do that, would he?

That idea was so good you had to tell us twice

I'd definitely prefer it if interviews were banned. Players never have a thing worth saying. Most managers are just like the players. A few managers can use the interviews to pressure the officials and opponents, but it's rare and IMO the effect is minimal.

If he doesn't know a man is there why is he lunging for the ball? Surely he would want to take a touch and bring it down if he thinks nobody is going to be there? Definitely a yellow card and could very easily be justified as a red.

Erm, because the ball was about 3 yards infront of him and just outside our own box.

It was but he's still thrown his foot into Parker's knee studs first and that is a yellow card all day. I can't see a ref who wouldn't have shown a card for that, I can't see how it can be argued it wasn't worthy of a booking.

Agreed. Cliche, pause, stutter, cliche.
