Stoke v Sunderland

Bollocks . . . . another cheating b'stard sending one of our players off for now't

Friend is a disgrace to football and should never referee a game again.

The red card will obviously be rescinded, but he's still cost us and there's now't that can be done about his cheating

When he waved play on when Fletcher got kung Fu kicked by their keeper, I really felt like running on the pitch and giving him a smack..He has now sent 12 players off in the 81 Premier games he has refereed, and five of those have bee Sunderland players..It is obvious he has a grudge against us and something needs to be done about it..

His cheating is blinking obvious

Any idea when the appeal hearing takes place?

It will be this week, but I don't know when
Either way, it will be rescinded, and the Brown boy will be available for 'Villa

We've still lost potentially 3 points because of Friend's cheating, though

Very true mate..
Apart from all the sending offs he has given us, he has also cost us dearly with penalties awarded against us, including the one given to Liverpool which was about 3 yards outside the box.

Gary McAllister cheating that time

He was like Jonathon Edwards doing the triple jump to get into the box

Funny in hindsight, like the beachball incident but not at the time

Well the FA saw sense and rescinded the red card, but that doesn't get us the points back..
