Vidic Gets 2 Match Ban

[WatchMUFC]

Nemanja Vidic has been banned for two matches following his dismissal in Saturday's unmentionable result.

The In-form centre back received a straight red when he took down Steven Gerrard outside the box.

As it was his second red card of the season - the other also came against Liverpool at Anfield in September - Vidic is suspended for two games.

He misses Saturday's trip to Fulham and the visit of Aston Villa on 5 April.

United's game against Villa will be moved to 4 April if Sir Alex Ferguson's side are in action in the Champions League on 7 April.

i know he got 2 matches because it was his second of the season, but i always thought the cards were wiped at beginning of march so then players on 4 yellows then get the 5th don't get a ban, why has this not also been the case with vidic, or are the FA trying to prove there is no favours being done for United like Rafa's rant suggested.

2 games isn't to bad for straight red could be worse normally there 3 games so we can count ourselves lucky

I personnally feel that on another day Vidic would have got a yellow. I feel ferdinand was covering anyway so cannot see it as a red.

I was listening to a Manchester United Podcast and some felt that the rest might actually be good for Vidic because he has played so many games.

Thoughts?
