Eustace red card overturned

John Eustace will be available to face Hull City in tomorrow's second leg of the play-off semi-finals after Watford succeeded in having Sunday's red card overturned.

Aidy Boothroyd immediately announced his intention to contest the dismissal after his skipper was shown red by referee Kevin Friend for supposedly not playing the ball during a second-half incident with the Tigers' Richard Garcia.

However, video replays showed the former Stoke City midfielder was attempting to pull out of a tackle prior to the collision.

Eustace's experience and influence is likely to be vital at the KC Stadium as the Hornets bid to overturn the 2-0 first leg deficit to set up a Wembley showdown with either Bristol City or Crystal Palace, who meet tonight.

the ref should do the right thing. admit he made a mistake and apologise. Because it still doesnt help us much now the game is over? Hopefully the lads can ram browns head butt claim down his throat tomorrow night. come on lads....

So 2 red cards against Hull this season rescinded? Hmmm. Brown envelope anyone? I would LOVE it if we wiped the smile of that 2nd hand car salesman's face!

With the feeling of injustice so fresh in the players' minds and the fact this is a play-off where they are 2-0 down, what more motivation could they need? I really hope the players can use all that to exact some revenge and get us to Wembley!

Thank god the FA saw sense on that one. I note the offical site makes a point of inferring that the referee offered us no help in the matter. Shame he was too pig headed to admit his mistake. At least we have a proper ref in Mark Clattenburg on Wednesday night. It's going to be very tough and personally I think it's beyond us but there's no harm in giving it a good go.

Well said. It does kinda fuel the fire a bit. & brown was such an arse on the touchline for the whole game.
Just been on Hull's fans web site and they are talking about prices of wembly tickets!!!
If the players feel as angry as me we will win 3-0 and only be left with 8 men on the pitch.

anyone think teh FA should charge Phil Brown with bringin the game into disrepute for claiming eustace headbutted a hull player. If i was eustace i'd sue brown for deformation of character. Watford to beat hull 2-0 at teh KC and win on Pennos and please aidy don;t bring Henderson back into teh starting line up we actually played football without him!!!
Posted by: chris, the vic on 2:49pm Tue 13 May 08
So Mr Brown thought Mr Friend got the two major decisions correct.

So the BBc/Sky and most of us disagree and now the FA disagree with the sending off...Brown u talk cr*p

Same as his dress sense; brown shoes with a dark suit - ouch! Hope Trinny & Susannah humiliate him on their next series.

do we get our valid goal back as well?
Posted by: Loidis, Norway on 3:14pm Tue 13 May 08
Great news!

Team for tomorrow:

Lee.
Mariappa, Bromby, DeMerit, Sadler.

Smith, Euastace, Willimanson, McAnuff.

Henderson, Ellington.

Subs:
Poom, Doyley, O'Toole, Ainsworth, Priskin.

Score: Hull - Watford 1-4, after extra time!
Posted by: Hexham Hornet, Hexham on 3:28pm Tue 13 May 08
The game will now be a better spectacle, with Watford out to show that they were harshly treated on Sunday. It could be quite a difficult game to handle, with Ashbee in everyone's face and he will no doubt wind Eustace up. I would like to see Williams in the midfield, if he is fit enough, even if it is for 60 mins like Barmby did on Sunday. Please do not Darius back as we played so well without him!!.

My line up would be: Lee, Doyley, Bromby, Shittu (or DeMerit if he is not fit), Sadler, Smith, Williams, Eustace, McAnuff, Priskin, Ellington. Subs: Poom, Ainsworth, DeMerit(or Mariappa if Shittu does not play), Williamson/O'Toole, Henderson/Kabba.

Hexham.....
Henderson has to come back, if only to ruffle a few feathers so we're not bullied again and NE did nothing!! and why choose Doyley? he was pants and an embarrassment!!

In response to the Northern D0gsh1ts that have been posting on our site....
Wasn't gonna go, instead was off to the Town Centre to watch, but now...

Going up mob handed in 2 separate mini buses, we're gonna whip your fat behinds both on and off the pitch!!
extremely tempted to stay behind and have a word with Ian Ashbee to make him see the error of his ways.

See you all there
WE ARE WATFORD !!!!

Sorry VoR, can't agree on Henderson or Doyley. Henderson is a target man who works hard and causes problems. He will not create or put away chances and we do not play the ball on the ground when he is up front. Also nobody seems to read his knock downs, so they are wasted. If the choice is between Doyley and Mariappa I would go with Doyley On the first goal he was caught marking 2 players, as Ainsworth was not covering back the wide man (a job that Tommy Smith does very well). Whatever Doyley did would have been wrong! So why not show us your team selection and subs and you can say who you would put in, rather than who you would leave out. It will be a good game and I am trying to get time out to see it. If not I will just have to watch it with couple of pints to see me through. We can win if we get the early goal, and would win if our disallowed was restored as well as our captain.

I gave you DH instead of NE and replacement for Doyley is self explanatory surely.....
AM all day long for me!!
Remember DH flick on to TS against Wolves? It only needs TS to play a more advanced role than Sunday then job done.

Jack of Leeds, Why are you posting as hornet jack....are you on a wind up, if not make yourself known Weds night, love to have a chat!

In my house football is everything. I'm so angry with Ref Friend.I'd like to see Watford ask for the game to be replayed given the effect his wrong decisions might have on us as a club.I certainly hope he never comes back to Vicarage Road as i for one wont forget or forgive him.Moving on i'd like to see Doylley make way for DeMerritt tomorrow and Henderso in for Ainsworth.(He looks like a good prospect but we need H tomorrow.I'd also like to see a decent 4th official who can control Brown and Horton.And a last request a three nil win with someone making sure Fraizer Campbell gets what he deserves after Sunday.Come on!!!!!!
Posted by: realist, MK on 4:45pm Tue 13 May 08
Hornet Jack,
Yeah we are faves of the FA, no pen, good goal ruled out and player sent off for no reason. Prat. The only thing intimidating in Hull is the mutants that live there...Ashbee is a cheat, your manager is a cheat and as for Horton and his Luton roots,nuff said. I DO hope that all of this over confidence slaps you in the face, even if it wasn't my team you were playing I'd support almost anyone against you lot now (bar Luton and ManU) and if you go up I hope and pray you do as bad as Derby...your manager deserves it. Have I mentioned that he's a cheat???
Posted by: Hexham Hornet, Hexham on 4:49pm Tue 13 May 08
VoR, I didn't notice the NE comment first time, my mistake (couldn't Mr Friend have said that a couple of times). I will agree to disagree with you on both the Doyley and Henderson issues. As I say I have no complaints about DH's workrate, but I just don't rate him and he does not improve our syle. He worked well with Marlon King, as they had an understanding, but nobody else seems to pick up on his knock downs and he gives away too many fouls (many of which I are harsh). I would rather use him off the bench if we aren't getting anywhere - mind you he might keep Ashbee quiet, if he doesn't lamp him first!!

That makes four of our red cards (50% of those we've received this season) rescinded. Evidence that the standard of refereeing is simply appalling if proof were needed. Friend should be consigned to the Blue Square along with Rob Styles for that display. Of course, no such thing will happen and these jumped up Napoleons will just continue to get away with it. Not so sure about Clattenburg either....at least it's not Bennett.

HJ you squirmy little northern pr1ck, did you not see the rows of empty seats in your end sunday? The crowd was poor because of the dull opposition. How many came down for the league game? I was at the KC RUGBY stadium for the league game, quite impressive the way its all decked out in the egg chasers colours. I'll be parking in the little industrial site opposite the hospital, just acroos the railway bridge if you wanna make yourself known. KC intimidating?? Who told you that? To your little boys and girls from Scunny, Grimsby and Donny maybe. But lets be real, your Ben Sherman and Hackett army are a joke. Bring it on!!!

We need to be big, bold and brass, DH is all of those and more!! (I'm planning to be that myself)
Hulls central defence weren't worked, by having DH there they'll be worked over. Hope you can go, we'll be out singing/slinging them all night.....eh T.Boy?

Hornet Jack, the only reason we assume you northern gimps are below the bread line is because of the state of the hull city/town itself. Run along to your council house. Hull are more famous for their rugby, 2 jags and ian huntley. You have no history and an undesirable town to live in as on the tv.

Hornet Jack - on behalf of all Watford fans, thanks for the well thought out and constructive posts. Now give it a rest. You do seem rather upset, anyone would think it was your team that got screwed over in the first leg after some very poor refereeing decisions. If you do get into the Prem I hope you've started cutting back on the scrag end and chips to help save cash for the away game tickets...not sure if they allow scruffy oiks onto the Kings Road or anywhere near Stamford Bridge for that matter. I may not agree with everything that gets posted by some of the more aggressive WFC fans but you sound like you could use a face to face chat with the likes of Tiger Bay Boy etc!

There is one consolation should Watford not make it to Wembley and through some fluke Hull win the final. At least we will have the satisfaction of seeing them get spanked each and every week. I will be straight onto Betfair backing to them to get relegated, should get a fair price before the season starts, maybe even 4 or 5 percent, better return than putting it in the building society.

It would be fun watching Windass and Barmby huffing and puffing in the Premiership and watching crybaby Brown bawling his eyes out.

Win or lose we will have something to look forward too. Come on you Horns!!
Posted by: mark, dunstable on 8:46pm Tue 13 May 08
Prat of an incompetent ref cost us dearly - as we all know, Hornet Jack, if Shittu's goal had been allowed, Hull would have crumbled because lets face it, we were bulldozing over you.
The Daily Mirror called the crowd "loud and boisterous" so how many things do you and your di*ck of a pimp manager want to be wrong about.
Frazier campbell is gonna get it tomorow for his cheating, brown is gonna get it from Boothroyd, ashbee is gonna be killed by eustace for cheating - you're just gonna die all over, i cant wait!
If we fans are this heated then i imagine the players will be so fired up for this. Its become like the Palace 2nd leg two years ago. Come on you orns!
Not sure if ellington will survive selection after weekend, but we certainly need Hendo - i know some of you dont like him, but i think we need the proper service in for him, not just lumped and hope for best like previous.
I agree Ainsworth doesnt seem ready for it, more defensively than anything.
Was almost impressed with Priskin. In the 1st min after coming on, he sprinted for the ball, out muscled someone, sped towards goal and had a shot! Then to prove he can mix it like Hendo, got a yellow too!

Hornet Jack, you really are a knob! You slate Watford's support yet according to the Hull website earlier today there are still tickets available for Hull fans! You can't even sell out your support for the biggest game in your clubs short 'history', going to be nice to wipe the smile off your face and off the face of your fake tanned manager tango man!
In reply to your comment about your 4 bedroom house, how are your carpets after all the floods?!

Youdo have a lot in common with Bristol, both pikey dumps and the lack of any pace in both sides would ensure acres of space for your team of has-beens. Both sets of fans dress the same and smell similar, so yeah, i find it hard to argue against you Mr Jack. Shall we say 45 mins after final whistle?

The best team talk we could have tomorrow would be to show the re-run of the 1st leg. If seeing them cheating, scummy, thuggish northerners rob us doesn't get them going then nothing will! Whatever the outcome at least we'll never be northern!

Hornet Jack You r going to look such a tw*t if we beat u now ... And just like Bristol tonight there is too much overconfidence that you r going up already, just like Leeds did 2 years ago when they won their semi before getting spanked by us, we beat palce away 3 - 0 and then beat leeds 3 - 0 in the final so dont write us of just yet numb nuts ...

and Palace & Leeds didn't bribe the ref!

What your also forgetting is the standard of teams in the playoffs that year was a lot higher all round. Hull and bristol city in the playoffs that year ? I dont think so clever bol**cks.
Your an average team that will get spanked week in week out in the premiership and your car salesman gimp of a manager wont be able to pick dads army in that league !!
Posted by: hornet jack, leeds on 11:53pm Tue 13 May 08
i couldnt give two monkeys if we lose 10-0 every week at least its the premiership.we've only waited 104 years.so i think we're about ready for a crack at it.must be embarrasing being beaten by dads army though. lets face it you have only scored one goal against us all season. we have put five past you without reply. not bad for an average, ageing team of old men is it.just for a jolly i am gonna put 50 quid on watford to win promotion. not cause i believe it its just that i can

How on earth anyone with such a poor command of the mother tongue (Queen's English) can rake down 150k makes my skin crawl. I'm clinging to the hope that this person's ability with mathematics is as unsteady as their English, and an extra zero (or two) has been added in error. Or perhaps 150k is a projection of lifetime earnings?

Sorry to break the truth to u Bank manager but having "ho's" is just a front for his own personal rent boy services. He is known in Hull for buying one ticket for a game but bringing another 3 supporters in via his stretched An*s ....

You'd have thought an organisation such as Kingston Comunications would have been able to ensure their population were able to hold a decent conversation. And KC even found funds to house their sporting giants at a posh new stadium in 2002 - and thoughfully allowed HCFC to use it as well.

Still, must be difficult to cope with never having played in the top flight of English League football.

Right, think I'd best get back to beating my servants, earning another few hundred grand before lunch and taking the Rolls (or should it be the Bentley today?) for a spin.

Just in case any Tigers are reading this, that last bit is said with irony.

i have not once slagged off people from watford. but because you all have nothing decent to write about your football team you do what all southerners do and insult the integrity of people from some were else. southerners do talk a good fight. mind you thats all they talk about full stop.i wonder what excuses will be banded about after tonight. on a positive note i wish ady boothroyd all the best because he is actually a decent bloke. and doesn't worship the sun bed gods like one phil brown.right i am off for a sulk now because you are calling me names. if it carries on i am going to the headmaster.you know when you've bin tango'd

one piece of serious advice i would give in all sincerity, if per chance watford do turn it on and knock hull out tonight, if you have young children with you please a hang around the concourse area for a little while after full time. unfortunately our thug mindless yobs will take theire anger out on any one in a yellow shirt be it inside or outside the ground. its the same tossers that give football a bad name. every club has em unfortunately. this is my last post for today to that watford fans that are travelling up to hull have a safe journey and enjoy the occasion no matter what the out come may be. best of luck.

Hello, HJ from Hull; fair point but you need to re-read several of your own posts. Your comments come across as very arrogant and you escalated things (in my opinion, obviously) with your post of 5:03PM, 6:06PM & later yesterday when you posted your salary, suggested our support wasn't as good as yours and rattled on about your house, swimming pool, said Southerners always criticise the North, etc.
I'd like to point out spelling, grammar & punctuation are really useful when communicating via the written word.

As regards football, I'll just say the ref had a major impact on Sunday's match for obvious reasons but that we also made errors such as Big Danny challenging Mat Sadler that lead to your first goal.
That said, if Myhill not had such a great game, I reckon it would be 2-2 and a much more interesting game tonight. I hope Mr Brown is true to his words on the HCFC site and he will go for a win as that gives us the chance we need to hit you on the break. If we can get to the 20th minute at 0-2 or even 1-2, I reckon you'll wobble then it's down to raw courage....but I would say that, wouldn't I?!

If it does all go wrong for us & you get passed Bristol City as well, good luck in the Prem as I fear you'll need it more than we did last season - even with all your Dad's Army of experienced campaigners.
