Excellent article in the Daily Mail today about the 1970 Fa cup final replay between Leeds and Chelsea where Mark Clattenburg says how he would have handled the game as referee :-)

Excellent article and the Daily Mail, now there a few words that should never be put together to make a sentence.

Clattenburg sez he woulda sent off 5 and one of 'em coulda been sent off twice :-)

I believe D. Ellery (if not him a previous well thought of Ref, if there is such a thing :) said he would have sent 11 players off and abandoned the game.

I believe Michael Oliver was the last to re-ref and he said 11 reds.
I just sent the clip to young Nigerian I work with (who plays as a winger) and he was stunned!

As one of those who's deaf, blind and doesn't know his father .

After the first couple of yellows and reds and the hacks being called instead of letting them play on, the game would have settled down . So yes in total there were many red card incidents, but if you manage the game then those should have not taken place.

That Ref was to blame for NOT getting control of the game. What I'm surprised at is that there where no legs broken, especially wee billy's and eddy's.
