Sorry, may have not been clear, my post was two separate points. One that Barton should have been sent off anyway. And two, as Barton didn't get sent off, disallowing the goal made no difference as they wouldn't have pushed on and got the goal that was allowed if the first had counted...

Maybe the West Ham players should have knocked the yellow card out of his hand.

And he continues with his career tonight. Having denied us promotion and hampered our play off hopes, what next?

Better advise no Man U players to tackle anyone, even if they clearly win the ball. Don't want them to miss the cup final.

Personally, I think he's lying if he says the linesman told him to give the red card. As you say, why would you defer to someone further away when you are so close to an incident. It makes no sense. He saw the gash, reacted to Ramirez's actions and changed his mind and now won't admit it. Sad...

Frankly, this comment shows how ignorant you are. Nothing to do with the injury. All to do with the tackle. Ramirez came in late, not Stephens. Stephens clearly wins the ball and is in no way reckless. Not even a foul. And Ramirez's behaviour after e.g. shoving the yellow card out of Mike Dean's...

Absolutely. Three big games and we've had bad decisions from referees in all of them. How these guys are among the top referees in this country is beyond me.
