Mourinho was so friendly with Fergie last night and so humble in his winning, praising M.U.  It's obvious he is buttering up the fans and the staff as he wants Fergie's job.  However, he may have a long wait as I cannot see Fergie ever leaving.  They will have to carry him out feet first.   ;)

Ex ref Dermott Galagher says it was dangerous play but he would have given a yellow.

The rules state dangerous play is a red! Even Roy Keane says it was a red.

No wonder players are confused when our ex top ref doesn't know the rules himself!

As others have said the ref gave the red card based on what he saw at the speed and time of the incident. It was not a knee jerk reaction as he had thinking time before he showed the card. Having watched it in slow motion and real time both a few times, I think the ref was correct to issue a red.

My assumption on Jose's comments regarding the best team losing, I suspect that this was an attempt at a subtle sarcastic comment, it was not a compliment and Jose does not do. Good old Jose always worth listening to  ;)  ;)

Finally, the behaviour of the MU players at the end typified the spoilt nature and lack of sportsmanship that prevails in modern day football, as always it is a shame that professional footballers cannot adopt the model set by Rugby Union player. Mind you I think the Turkish ref would be quite a good union ref!

I love to have a pop at Fergie but in this case I do think it was a red.

It is dangerous to go in studs first at that height.

No other option if the ref applies FIFA rules.
