WAYNE ROONEY DOES IT AGAIN

Wayne Rooney,the best player in the Premier League,England and maybe right now in the World,scored a great headed winner for Manchester United as they beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the Carling Cup final at Wembley.But there cannot be any doubt that Nemanja Vidic should have been red-carded for bringing down Gabriel Agbonlahor in the penalty area.Referee Phil Dowd got it wrong and so did former ref Graham Poll in the Daily Mail when he wrote that Agbonlahor was not in a goalscorin g position and not on his way to goal.Wrong on both counts.Vidic was not even yellow carded for it.Dowd was certainly inconsistent with his cards in the match.But while Villa manager Martin 0'Neill was right about Dowd's decision not to send Vdic off..last man and goalscoring opportunity etc..he was not,I thought,right to say his side were maginificent.They have played better,especially Richard Dunne and Stephen Warnock.But Villa should be pleased with their progress in 3 and a half years under O'Neill and there is still the FA Cup to come plus still a chance of a top four finish in the Premier League....United..they just keep rolling on what ever side he fields and what ever injuries they suffer!
