		<description>Near as I can tell, in the two seasons previous to this one Manchester United received 3 red cards, 1 to Scholes in 06/07 for trying to punch a Liverpool player (Alonso), 1 each to Ronaldo and Nani in 07/08 for headbutts.  Tell me how any of those could be appealed?

Stop trying to act as if you are above appealing, the simple fact is you have to basically headbutt someone or throw a punch at someone to get red carded at United (short of ripping down an open run on goal of course lol).

In a matter of fairness though, Chelsea appeal red cards as much as all other teams combined appeal red cards, and have been somewhat successful with Terry having one and Lampard having two overturned in the last couple years</description>

		<description>Firstly, enough of this &quot;we have never appealed a red card&quot; shat, you appealed Ronaldo&#039;s red after being sent of against city for a foul on Andy Cole (2006).  You lost the appeal, becuase you should have, and enough crying.

The reason SAF won&#039;t appeal this card is because there is no grounds to do so, it was a blatant card.  Furthermore, it&#039;s hard to appeal red cards when you are never given them, how many did you receive in the league last year?  I assure you if you do the research you will find many more red cards are shown to your opponents then have ever been shown to you....

However you get your fair share in Europe where they aren&#039;t intimidated by SAF and his BS.

Terry&#039;s card was rescinded because the ref recorded it wrong in the match report.   It was recorded as a SFP in stead of a DOGSO.  Had it been recorded as a DOGSO he would have served a 1 match ban.  If you want to blame someone, blame the ref who wrote it up wrong but I doubt you lot will get much sympthy with this &quot;The FA is out to get us&quot; vile you are spitting.

Vidic deserved the red now shut up and take it.</description>

		<description>Vidic deserved red. So did John Terry. 

Gerrard held Vidic&#039;s arm as Vidic was also holding his body. Jo was running at full speed.

I am sick of the FA. That&#039;s all.</description>

		<description>Lets be honest here, Terry&#039;s red card should have stood. But the fact that it didn&#039;t doesn&#039;t make Vidic&#039;s challenge any less of a sending off offence. If what Scott says about Terry&#039;s being for Serious Foul Play is true, then that may offer some insight into why it was rescinded. Terry&#039;s foul was punishable for Denying an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity, so if that wasn&#039;t the reason cited by the referee then it&#039;s his mistake. 

Having said all this, Vidic has given us numerous performances this year, scored some match winning goals and made some match winning tackles. The sickening thing is that he made a bad situation worse, and instead of banishing that game to history at the final whistle, his moment of madness will cost us for three more games.

No doubt he will be back as strong as ever, and that&#039;s the measure of Vidic. You will not see his head drop like Terry&#039;s did at OT, nor do I expect Vidic to have the same sense of superiority that led JT to go into the referee&#039;s dressing room at full time to ask for justification for his sending off. The referee asked him in response, &quot;John, you&#039;re 3-1 up and going into the last few minutes. Why would you do it?&quot; The goon just stood there, just like at OT with nothing to say for himself. He knew he was wrong but his arrogance is what makes him Vida&#039;s inferior.</description>

		<description>I have to believe that it&#039;s a blessing in disguise. The lads looked extremely tired and basically never &#039;showed up&#039; for the game. I can&#039;t believe i found myself wanting Fletcher to come on as our midfield was nowhere. We had an off day and unfortunately it happened against the Dippers.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not a different rule at all for crying out loud.

Terry was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Carvalho was back and covering so it was rescinded. 

Vidic was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Rio would never in a million years have got across to Gerrard, so it won&#039;t be rescinded.

No bias, no FA conspiracy. The FA have screwed us over in the past and will do again but there&#039;s nothing amiss here and to complain about it makes people look bitter, horrendously biased and invokes &#039;when Peter cried wolf&#039; syndrome. Get a grip.</description>
