Darren Ferguson

He did what every manager should be doing and tried to get a result. He felt bringing on a midfielder with twenty odd minutes to his name thus far, just because his father was brought on with 17 minutes remaining wasn't the right choice when chasing the game at 1-0. Hard to disagree with that.

This!

They were chasing a 1 goal lead up till the 98th minute and people wanted him to just throw the kid on. If he’d been an attacking player and not a midfielder, then he’d have had more chance.

Any decent manager have taken into account the footballing gods. By subbing on young Young, it was inevitable that old Young would have brought him down for a penalty. Poor management.

Having seen Young's antics over the years it's much more likely he'd have dived in the box under challenge from young Young and then two footed him from behind at the other end.

That’s for the gods to decide, not Darren Ferguson.

Darren Ferguson is the ultimate nepo baby in the football world and thus should have passed on the blessing to another nepo baby. Instead he is now going to be known as the dumbass who denied a dream father son matchup.

If they really want to be on the pitch at the same time then Ashley Young should perhaps sign for Posh.

He had 5 subs to give young Young at least a minute. BBC covered it for the opportunity, just do what you have to do or give back the TV money.

Maybe the gods would have made a pigeon sh-t in both their mouths if he came on.
