Why did they sub the keeper earlier? I missed that. Man Utd had done everything but score...as the commentators said just before the penalty (when there'd been a scramble in the Pompey goalmouth), that Portsmouth's name could be on it. Well - after ours that is! Looks like we'll need to win it now to qualify for Europe!
I don't think any reason was given. He was subbed at half time I cant see why they are saying the sending off was harsh though, he'd rounded the keeper and was brought down, simple red card.
There were 2 defenders back One on the line. I'd be appealing for it though. But an outfield player wouldn't be sent off in that situation.
