Please explain how it was brutal. He received the second yellow for blatant time wasting and not allowing United a quick free kick. The ref was consistent in that he booked Ferdinand when he did it earlier. That sort of childish behavior should be booked every time.
To continue, you fail to mention the turned down hand-ball appeals as well as the discretionary call (I have seen that play go both ways on many occasions) on Sunderland's second. I think it was Foster's mistake (again) but have seen it go the other way....
You also fail to mention that it was the same man in charge that turned down a late penalty appeal in game one of this year as well as giving more than the benefit of the doubt to Liverpool in last season's thrashing.
Sunderland deserved all three but it was not to be for them today - and that was definitely not the result of a favorable call by the ref.
