Re: Satanage on sat.
Just seen the Hunt throw in incident on I-player. That is the most unjust straight red card I have ever seen. In comparison, look at some of the thuggish assaults seen in this week-ends PL games which went unpunished. Mirallas's horrific studs up lunge on George Boyd's shin, not even a foul given, David Silva nearly having his eye taken out by a shocking elbow - only a yellow, defenders clattering into attackers from behind without penalty, John Terry etc, etc. I didn't see the Hunt throw in on Saturday, but if I had I would have been sorely tempted to join in with the Clayton end chorus of "How much for the referee?" Surely at least the red card can be appealed and also preferably the Ref hauled over the coals by the authorities for such gross punishment for a mild shove in the back? No one will ever convince me it came anywhere near to being dangerous play. I don't blame Nicky Hunt one bit for such a mild reaction to the provocative little Stevenage squirt.
Funnily enough though, I don't think we would have been treated to such an enthralling Stanley performance if it hadn't happened!
