Unsworth's red card will stand

"I went on television to explain my decision within an hour of the final whistle, so there is no way I could change my report. I told the player he was being dismissed because he had struck the Chelsea man. You don't have to use a hand to strike someone" said Wolstenholme.

However, the evidence against the referee is substantial. Video evidence clearly shows that Unsworth did not strike Gronkjaer at all, and Gronkjaer himself has said that Unsworth did not strike him. You'd think he would know if he'd been hit by someone that size.

Referee's complain about having a hard time at matches, but when they act in this immature, unprofessional and sly manner, they deserve everything they get.
