Fuller booking rescinded
Last updated : 20 September 2004 By Keith Allman
One of the most annoying factors about this weekend's defeat to Blackburn was that we deserved a penalty, right in the dying stages. Friedel loses the ball to Fuller, Fuller runs through on goal, Friedel barges him over - spot kick, surely?
We all know what really happened, but at least upon
reflection Ricardo Fuller's yellow card has been overturned. On the one hand, it's annoying that Mark Clattenberg probably bottled the decision in the first place - the thought of having to send off a home goalkeeper for a team who had already used three substitutes must've sent chills down his spine - but at least he's man enough to admit he's wrong.
Not that that helps us in the league table, of course.
