refs know the stage, know the age of the players

 

holloway and motson are stunned!

 

If Saints chose to play a team of kindergarteners, they've got to accept the consequences and can't expect any special treatment. There is no reason why a 17 year old should get away with murder, whilst a 35 year gets a red card.

 

That was a dangerous tackle and deserved a red. Bit harder and he could have broken Vidic's leg.

 

P.S. Good to here "we're the Itchen" again. :D

1-0 down to an offside goal at half-time... Better than expected, it's fair to say.

 

Indeed. Everyone's too busy debating the borderline red card when we're only 1 nil down to the world club champions.

 

I can be one of the biggest sceptics but we're not out of this yet!

Did well for quite a while, but needed luck with 11 men. Game over now which is a shame.

 

Seems the days of referees showing some leniency and appreciating a "strikers challenge" are over. Understand they'll get punished if they don't produce the red, but it never used to be like that. Not only more physical, but there was a bit of common sense when it came to an over-zealous kid, especially a striker. Recall Rooney making many such challenges in his early career and getting warnings or yellows. Now it's just red.

 

Oh well. No shame in losing any amount to the best team in the world with 10 men. Just wish we'd been able to put out our best team. No Holmes, Lallana or Morgan. That's pretty much our attack gone.

 

yes and is Lallana not there for any other reason other than "injured"?

 

im dreading the next few weeks, we could well find ourselves even more in the ****e

That certainly did not warrant a straight red card - he kicked the ball first.

If you make a reckless challenge, taking the ball first, ( by a fraction of a second ), but knowing that momentum will take your studs straight into the opponents shin, then the intent is clear and should be punished. What it he'd caught the players leg side on and broke it, what then ?

Looked like a definite red, but so did the foul by Evans on McGoldrick, McG was past him and away on goal.

Pity we can't defend on corners. Gillett is garbage.
