Typical bloody ultra frustrating Gaston performance though. Just when he starts a game & looks decent he goes and gives someone an excuse to ruin it. Still a soft red, but daft nonetheless.

That was our last red wasn't it, or was it five minutes later....?
All this talk of cards, I do hope its clean tomorrow, but then it is Villa. Gulp.
Jedinak's red a couple weeks back was kicking out, Gaston's was more of a tangle. Never a red card, only a ref with a stick up his arse would give that.
Well change the rules then
But I agree with you about Kilbane and Phil Neville. It's almost as if the BBC give up with some weekends. Shearer was made to look intelligent when next to Savage last night, and these two are just clowns.
Savage on MotD is hilarious. He is just so poor that even Shearer can run rings round him. I liked Lineker's reaction, looked like he wasn't smiling WITH Savage.
Really, how this chap works in the media is beyond me. Its not just his poor understanding of the game, or his 'laddishness' but his inability to speak correct English when surely that is the very minimum as a job requirement.
As for Phil Neville, he was very poor as a summariser but I don't find him too bad in the studio.

You really need an eye test if you think it was just a tangle.
I like Savage, takes the piss out of himself quite bit. Fletch and Sav on BTsport is always an amusing watch on Saturday morning. He also does a good job on 606, engages with the everyone that calls up.
You're being a bit harsh of him though.
As HR said 'only a ref with a stick up his arse would give that ' - nothing wrong with his eyesight mate. You may be a ref but it doesnt mean that you are right. Personally i didnt think that it was a sending off offence - if it was then football is getting so wet and pampered that we just as well give up.
The ref himself can't be blamed here - even if he was able to apply logic to a situation (which in the main he can't), he didn't see it, so was only able to go on what he's told by the Lino. Therefore it had to be a red, daft or not.
This will sound arrogant but I don't care - I am right. That was a red card. If it's not a red card offence Hull will appeal and it will get rescinded.
Def daft, IMO of course !
Totally agree. I'm not a ref, but if the Lino has told him that Gaston kicked out (and it's obvious that that's what Gaston did) then he's got no choice - it's a straight red for violent conduct. Specially since it appears he didn't see it himself.This will sound arrogant but I don't care - I am right. That was a red card.
