FA Confirm Kilgallon Red

Sure Kilgallon was unlucky, but it really was more like a kung fu kick with his studs up, so he only has himself to blame. As for how it changed the game, I think we were actually playing better while he was on the field, so I think it made things worse for us too!

To be fair, the five minutes or so leading up to the red, we had just got some momentum going, and spreading the ball out to Cotterill who is our rela danger man. He'd just put that ball in what was cleared over your own bar. So i do think it changed the game definately. As for it not being recinded, it's a shame and I think it should have been, BUT i can see why the FA didn't. The result can't be changed but it will have detriment on our upcoming games

If you are applying strictly the rules of the game, if you make contact with somebody with your studs above waist height you have got to walk. They teach you that at school. Although it seems harsh a professional footballer should know this and not put himself in that position. There was no way the FA were going to recind that. It was his own fault. What I want to know is why wasn't Speed sent of for the penalty, he had already been booked.

some good reasonable comments on there and agree with most of them. the ref had a bad view of it and im really dissapointed in laws reaction as he was instrumental in getting killa sent off. regardless off it all we were under par yet again for a sheffield derby which is not good enough. wendy yet again were fired up right from the start and to be truthfully honnest they deserved to win. we got hammered in the first 45 mins, started to get going in the second half but just couldnt ralley on. stupid mistake from grant in the dying minutes should have secured a point with the quality in our starting 11, but wendy defended brilliantly, chucked everyone at the ball in midfield, were quick on the wings but poor upfront. all in all i disagree with blackwells comments, i thought we were second best all afternoon and deserved to lose. the chances we did create we should have put away easilly with the quality strikeforce we had. 3 men on beattie and sharp totally man marked out of the game. wendy did there homework yet again. really dissapointing.

attendance yet again lads. bloody shocking and the ticket availability was relaxed massively.

btw u think united will now take the F.A to court and say it should of been rescinded and then sue mike dean and maybe even west ham?? that can be there excuse at the end of the season when they stay down

almost as shocking as that 21,000 attendance you got for a live on sky derby game a few years back bfl

did laws also influence the decision not being overturned, you dont half talk some poo poo bfl 1-0 to sheffs biggest club

ooh sorry, it might have been as high as 25,000. and yes it was against us, dec 2000 1-1 draw, pathetic. And who can forget you're 10,000 gates under Adrian Heath? And taking 200 fans to Barnsley for a local derby? And you have the nerve to preach to us about attendances... disgusting

no it wasnt!
