Seconded. The challenge on Hume was awful and, in the context of the game he was fired up having ran the length of the pitch to get a Reds player booked, so we were in no doubt that he deliberately stuck his elbow in Hume's direction. We were all angry because he should have been sent off, we were angry because we didn't win the game and we were angry when the linesman gave a penalty from an incident he couldn't see under pressure from the United bench. Then what happened to Hume afterwards made it even worse, as did the way that United handled it in the media.

We all know what Morgan could be like on the pitch. He trod the line many times for us. And the injury to Hume was awful. But whereas he certainly seemed to throw his elbow with intent, there is no way that he meant to cause the injury he did, unlike, say, the Michael Brown foul on Butterfield or the Roy Keane foul on Haaland, where they only had one thing in mind. Furthermore, Morgan is a nice bloke and I've seen him interviewed on Sky Sports since he left us telling them how great it was that we had been promoted, as he was still a Reds fan. He was the one Reds player who really stood up during the admin period, leaving his pregnant wife in the car whilst he attended the supporters meeting.

It really is about time the anger and vitriol aimed against him personally was calmed down. Of course, I'm not suggesting that we should start hoping that the team he currently manages does well!
