       Looks like the vastly overrated lad from Warwickshire lost the
       plot in a hugely controversial game. I await the highlights with
       interest.

       Lost the plot! ??? ???
       You are basing this on what (if you didnt see the game) :o :o :o
       :o
       The major incident in the game had nothing to do with him (the 2
       goals debacle), and the dismissal was solely down to the
       assistant being [edited out] Bamford, who incidentally should be
       banned [edited out].
       I thought he did well overall in the game in what was a very
       feisty game.

       Is this a situation where Bamford by apparently feigning contact
       and getting an opponent sent off will cop a ban himself?

       So you’re bashing the referee based on what exactly???
       The incident had nothing to do with Attwell and everything to do
       with Leeds & Villa.

       Totally agree,  what else could he have done! The dismissal will
       of course be overturned, not sure what the assistant saw and
       Bamford, the idiot, will face charges and rightly so

       Just looked at it again to confirm my initial view. Stuart
       Attwell didn't see it and could not be expected to from his
       position. The red card is on the advice of his assistant who not
       only bought the Bamford exhibition but paid the VAT on it as
       well

       I wouldn’t say Attwell Is Overrated, I Think Everybody Rightly
       sees That he Is Not One Of The Very Top Officials. I Geuss His
       Past Reputation Still Sticks For Some, Despite The Fact He Has
       Made Some Improvement and that this incident is Not his fault.

       I don't think that Attwell could have done anything different -
       I remember there being a directive about 10 years ago that
       players should stop putting the ball out of play and the game
       should just continue, with the referee stopping it if deeming it
       necessary. The approach was never really followed but I think it
       would be better if it was.
       I'm not sure that Leeds did too much wrong - it was Villa's
       fault for stopping!
       The assistant also seemed to switch off because it looked as if
       the scorer was actually offside. The assistant then made an
       error with the red card although more blame should probably be
       attributed to Bamford for his actions - if players are suspended
       for obtaining penalties in such a manner then the same should
       certainly apply to an opponent being sent off.

       Agree with the comments, not really sure what Attwell could have
       done differently and he has done well to eventually get it all
       defused and keep control of the remainder of the game.
       AR has to get the blame for the incorrect red card, as well as
       of course Bamford for his shameful actions.  If there is any
       justice El Ghazi will have his red overturned and will be able
       to take part in the play offs whereas Bamford should be sitting
       at least part of them out.

       This was the BBC article when the new FA initiative was
       introduced in 2017 -
  HTML https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39962886
       'The FA defines the new offence for which players will be
       punished as "successful deception of a match official".
       Only incidents that result in a player winning a penalty or lead
       to an opponent being sent off - through either a direct red card
       or two yellow cards - will be punished.
       The FA says it will act "where there is clear and overwhelming
       evidence to suggest a match official has been deceived by an act
       of simulation, and as a direct result, the offending player's
       team has been awarded a penalty and/or an opposing player has
       been dismissed"'
       Personally I would say that this ought to apply in this
       scenario.
