1) No he will not. This is the FA dealing with Watford, when do they do anything in our favour? 2) I hope it is Peterborough United, but I have doubts. A team with few wins and all away from their home is bad news for Watford. This could only be worse if Peterborough United had no wins this season.
That was his highest profile match ever. He did Bristol City v Barnsley earlier in the season for his debut in the Championship*. I thought he was having a good game up to that point but he totally lost the plot on this decision and thereafter ruined the game. We referees are taught to take our time and think. He clearly did neither. He did not look at the body language of the players he just blundered on believing he'd seen something that just hadn't happened. 8 reds this season... I think someone ought to have a word! Love to say what I really think but I'll probably get keel-hauled by the FA if I do. * on further research - he did three games last season and two the season before. Still inexcusable.
Quite a few of his cards have been for "violent conduct" as well so maybe he just thinks any touch must be done on purpose.
As I understand it they have to be 100% certain the ref made a mistake. You can bet your arse they will find a way of backing the ref. I suspect we'll get a hatful against someone but the score will probably end up 5-4.
I can't see how the FA can uphold the decision...it's so blinkin' blatent! Surely instead they should be reviewing the ref and sending him down to the conference at best! I agree about Posh, i fear we may have a disappointing afternoon...not sure why, maybe coz my Posh supporting mate will be there...
Just a thought about having a keeper as a captain. I can well imagine that if Eustace had been on the field Saturday, he would have been in the refs ear all of the way through the second half, something that is far more difficult to do if you are at the far end of the field.
The players were giving as much stick as possible. Along with the crowd. You just cant talk to some people. I got more sense out of Vydra that you would from the twat in the black.
