Bowyer Fights Red Card!

Last updated : 11 February 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor

Referee Mark Clattenburg seemed to have picked on the wrong man and issued a straight red to Bowyer for an alleged two-footed challenge on Birmingham captain Damien Johnson.

Hammers manager Alan Curbishley: "We have asked Mark to look at it, and we think he will. Hopefully he will overturn it.

"When it happened I did not think it was that serious, but on the spot, the referee sees it differently.

"I think Johnson has come in and both of his feet have connected with the ball, so I don't know if Bowyer has gone above it. We will have to wait and see.

"If he is suspended, it is a bit tough and we could do with a suspension least of all with the injuries we have got."
