Darren Fletcher's Red Card Should Be Rescinded
Sign Now
Darren Fletcher's dismissal from the field of play during tonight's UEFA Champion's League semi-final second-leg against Arsenal is a travesty of justice and an insult to the great work that UEFA does in promoting fair play in its competitions.
Fletcher was in fact mistaken for another player - a player who fouled Cesc Fabregas, when clearly there was no foul.
So, according to UEFA's own rules - see http://www.uefa.com/multimediafiles/download/regulations/uefa/others/70/22/60/702260_download.pdf:
XII Disciplinary Law and Procedures Doping
Article 23
Reasons for protest
23.04 A protest against a caution or expulsion from the field of play after two cautions is admissible only if the referees error was to mistake the identity of the player.
Fletcher's red card can and should be protested and rescinded so that he can fairly play in the final.

Justice should prevail. This is the biggest club game in Europe and UEFA should not let such a poor decision to hamper the mood.

He deserves to play in the final this year and he did nick the ball off of Fabregas.
