> I agree. I thought he was brilliant for the first 70 minutes
and really contributed to a tense and exciting game. However,
the red card for the DOGSO was an awful decision. The worst
thing for me was how quick he dished out the red card. Clearly
gave himself no time to think. From that moment on, I felt like
every decision that was 50:50 was given the way of Sunderland

I agree with these views. On movement and positioning, I've
always thought Andy to be a bit of an old-style maverick -
chasing into the penalty area (rather than a wider angle away
from the goal action) and then getting caught up in play -
chasing back to the centre after a goal rather than looking to
see what is going on - so it doesn't surprise me when you say
that he often ended up in rather bizarre positions. Speedy
Gonzales was how I once described him but he seems to have lost
the speed since I last saw him and so I agree, it is probably
the right time for him to hang up his whistle in the same way as
another 'old-timer', Roger East.

As a fan only I am always into the ground by an hour before
kick-off and whoever the three officials are at whatever level
you see them jogging side to side to loosen themselves and then
doing little more than gentle exercise whilst the teams warm up.
What I saw on Saturday night was indeed bizarre as Mr Woolmer
ran diagonally from a point half way inside one half to the
opposite point in the other half on several occasions at full
speed with arms pumping like pistons .My thoughts were if he was
having to get up to speed forty minutes before kick-off then we
may have a problem.

He could have been sat down at the opposite end of the ground to
get the DOGSO decision correct.
Thats what makes it so bad because it was so abvious, perhaps
the game was too big for him and he panicked

Any news on the card being overturned in time for the second
leg?
