Great start Vidic...:huh:

How he stayed on the pitch is beyond me, so to not even get a yellow card for that is scandalous.

Michael Owen 1-1 wonder if Fabios at Wembley??????

Roooooooney!

Michael Owen 1-1 wonder if Fabios at Wembley??????

he was! 3 english players on the scoreline aswell.......

I don't blame Man Utd at all, and they played very well, but the ref really let Villa down. I think not sending Vidic off was a mistake, but not even giving him a yellow was a disgrace. Then he seemed to book Villa players for first fouls but give Man Utd players two or three chances.

Seeing that decision again from Phil Dowd, i have to say that Villa have been robbed a decent chance of winning the cup today.
It would have certainly leveled things up even though i thought they were unlucky Villa with 11 v 11.
To not give even a yellow card is a disgrace, the referees are lacking bottle.

It was a yellow card for sure. Given where the foul took place and that the forward had checked to go outside Vidic and away from goal, no way a clear DOGSO (denial of a goal scoring opportunity) and red card. Last man doesn't come into it - no such rule.

Interesting to see Rooney playing a similar role that Anelka does for Chelsea these days - given licence to roam in midfield and up front - based very much on how Zidane used to play IMHO.

Ive had to quote your first opinion as there two different things which need answering, as far as the rule goes its also up to the referee and his assistants to see the incidents and if not what can they really do, not give it when its obvious to the other 40.000 in the ground, they cant win and lets be fair there not very good either, the rules these days are more bent than ebay.
Look at the state of the offside rule its guesswork, footballs gone mad, rules are getting flaunted more than ever these days in English football, towels, clubs in administration, so to say that a slight movement to the side is grounds to be a definite no no for a sending off is rubbish pal, maybe it says it in the rulebook but when do the refs use that these day's?
Time for video evidence 1 Thinks.............

Heres what the one and only Sir Alex Fergsuon thinks....

Sir Alex Ferguson admitted Nemanja Vidic was lucky not to be sent off in Manchester United's 2-1 defeat of Aston Villa in the final of the Carling Cup.

Villa won a penalty when Vidic fouled Gabriel Agbonlahor, but the Serb remained on the pitch despite denying the striker a goalscoring opportunity.

Who said a definite no no - I said no way a clear red card.

Looks like Graham Poll saw the incident the same as me.

And if we had to have video evidence used for every controversial decision then most big games would last hours. It would help if TV pundits knew the rules and didn't rubbish refs.

If you dont think that was a red card you are disagreeing with the most succesfull manager in English football, im happy with that.

Managers are as rubbish at knowing the rules as most TV pundits.

Really so where did Ferguson say that according to the letter of the law Vidic should have been off? He didn't did he? He said Vidic was lucky not to go (which considering the delight Dowd took in screwing with United the last time I recall him reffing a game seems an understandable thing for Ferguson to say) which isn't the same thing at all.

Personally I think Vidic remaining on the pitch was largely down to Dowd not wanting to send someone off for something less than violent conduct so early in a cup final. If Vidic had committed the same offence 3 minutes from time I reckon he would have walked.
