he was sent off against leeds, wasnt his second yellow for an apparent "dive" on the half way line :shock:



we had two sent off that day and won the game 1-0 i think.


i seem to remember him battering the electronic board while walking off, the 4th official had to use the old fashioned numbers after that :lol:

Leeds at home. He is a Weeds fan himself.

Chopra scored the only goal from a free kick, great goal.

Then got sent off as did Walton for a "dive" on the half way line. He couldn't run to the penalty area without stopping the fat t**t. Most overweight player I have ever seen. Did kick the board on the way off.
Referee was Clattenberg and DJ said he never wanted him to referee a Cardiff game again. Both sendings off were a disgrace.

Played 30 mins with 9 players and still won. Gunter had a tremendous game (16 at the time I think).

Think he got sent off twice for us. Also sent off when on loan somewhere else (Ipswich ??).

Got a lengthy band so didn't feature for City again.

The other occasion he got sent off was Sheffield Wed at home. I remember it like it was yesterday, it happened right in front of me in block F of the grandstand. It was an absolutely crazy attempt at a tackle on Peter Gilbert, two feet up, flying through the air like a bat out of hell hell. Could have really hurt the bloke if it didnt miss him and the ball by miles. Idiot. :ayatollah:

It was a vicious tackle and there was no way he was ever going to play for us again anyway.

I believe he has spent the last couple of years at Plymouth

Walton was kicked off his feet and then sent off for diving. In the same game Tresor Kandol made a blinding save to keep the score at 1 nil. The only issue being he was a stiker and it was handball. Clattenberg only gave him a yellow. He is the worst ref in the world! Makes some unbeliveable decisions such as the one to allow manures goal against Spurs last season stand when he missed a blatant handball by Nani and when keeper threw the ball down for the freekick Nani knocked it in. He claimed afterwards he'd seen the handball and had played advantage!
