LOADS OF REDS

If you haven't read the account of the Leeds United and Chelsea tie, the FA Cup replay in 1970, then you should. Some of us will remember the games, you youngsters need to be educated. In the Telegraph today, Michael Oliver "re-referees" the match and concludes that there would have been even more red cards and so on, based on present laws and attitudes. It was the first replayed final since 1912. the seventh goal in the 224th minute of the extended final saw Chelsea win the cup for the first time. Ian Hutchinson's well known long throw and David Webb's header in the 104th minute of the replay....inevitable that goals come in those dying minutes when concentration is low.

In World Cup matches, there have been a number of "RED card" events. 
The first recorded "sending off " was in 1930 when Placido Galindo (above) was dismissed from the Peru side v Romania on July 14th. No red cards in those days just a lot of whistling and pointing to the tunnel. It was the only dismissal in the tournament.

In 1934: only one sending off-Imre Markos of Hungary Q-Final v Austria-lost 1-2
1938: there were 4 dismissals and of course, no tournaments in the War years and so in.....
