Ref. Gavin Ward brandishes a red card at Charlton's Chris Solly on 21st February 2017.


In 2015-2016 season United have seen red cards
to Liam Sercombe at Bristol Rovers, Jordan Graham
at Leyton Orient, Johnny Mullins at Braintree
and John Lundstram at home to
Stevenage.

In contrast United's opponents have received the
following red cards:

Reggie Lambe (Mansfield Town)
Ollie Clarke (Bristol Rovers)
Michael Doyle (Portsmouth)
Jason Taylor (Northampton)
Jordan Turnbull (Slumdon)
Michael Tonge (Stevenage)
Jamie McCombe (Stevenage)
Mark Beevers (Millwall)
Shaun Miller (Morecambe)
Tom Davies (Accrington)
Mathieu Baudry (Leyton Orient)

I think there was a similar record last season, think it was only Barnett in the league and Meades in the cup, whereas there were several players sent off against Us.

Its a sign of good discipline from us and opponents who have to do anything to stop us.

Incidentally, the FA yesterday, rejected Leyton Orient's appeal
against Baudry's red card for his reckless, scything tackle on
Kemar Roofe.Baudry must now serve an immediate four match ban.

Quite right too. Was a shocking, dangerous challenge. Absolutely no intent to play the ball whatsoever.

Certainly no intent to play the ball. But was it 'shocking' or 'dangerous'? Just looks from the highlights like a cynical sliding trip to make sure Roofe got no further - and it worked. Not DOGSO though, so the red card might have been a bit harsh, but not the kind you're ever likely to get overturned.

DOGSO?

Deny an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity

Why did he get a four match ban? Was it due to failed appeal ?

Baudry has been sent off before this season.

Cynical - yes but Roofe was right on the wing nowhere near goal - yellow would have sufficed.

Red card doesn't need to reflect a lost goal scoring opportunity.

A challenge only needs to be dangerous, or out of control, to warrant a straight red, anywhere on the pitch.

Ref got that one exactly right. He got plenty more wrong though, not least the lack of added time other than for subs and goal scored.

James Constable was the last U's player
dismissed in the Derby fixture in March 2012
at Grenoble Road. In March 2001 United
lost both Matt Murphy and Dean Whitehead
to red cards in a stormy Manor Ground encounter.

Sam Long, of course, has a 'red' for us this season (at Bristol Rovers).

Now seven reds for United's opponents this season.
