Hang on - Dean Windass was sent off 3 times - using this logic, after the first red card, he was already removed from the game, so no subsequent card could be given.
Excuse as to why Barry "mink" Ferguson wasn't even carded for grabbing Ricky Foster by the throat - "The ball wasn't in play"
It's any old excuse to let the SFA/SPL perpetuate this utter farce of a league called the SPL.
It's about time someone stood up to this nonsense - I thought United were to do it last season - but all that seems to have "gone away".
Get one thing right - if this had happened to the huns or paddys, and they lost points, the game would have been replayed and there would have been no suspension. It's one rule for the Old Firm, one rule for the "dross"
