Manchester City Protest Red Cards Boyata


Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, protesting the decision of referee Mark Clattenburg a red card reward Dedryck Boyata when defeated Arsenal 3-0, Sunday, October 24, 2010.

ManCity humiliated Arsenal three goals without reply in front of his own supporters at the Stadium City of Manchester in England League continued. The defeat that makes the position of The Citizens slipped to fourth position of the English Premier League standings.

The main factor causing the defeat of ManCity because they play with 10 players from the minute 5 after Boyata received a straight red card from referee Clattenburg for violating Marouane Chamakh.

Boyata manage Chamakh when Moroccan international striker had a chance to score goals. However, Mancini confirmed Clattenburg made the mistake of giving a straight red card Boyata. The Italian manager Boyata rate does not deserve a straight red card.

"I do not agree with the referee (Clattenburg). You have to respect the rules. Against Newcastle we got a clean chance to score because Carlos (Tevez) is in the penalty box and the referee only gave a yellow card," Mancini said as quoted by The Independent, Monday 25 October 2010.

"Striker (Chamakh) touched the ball, but it may be saved goalkeeper and the referee would expel him (Boyata). I do not agree with the referee. That's my opinion."

"I think there was a rule that the last person who violates another player who had opportunities to score goals to get a red card. I think when Chamakh touched the ball, the ball towards the goalkeeper's arms," added Mancini.
