Don't think so. It was a straight red.
You do realise that not every red card is a 3 game suspension yes?

When it's not violent conduct. So fairly often, to answer your question. Blackett is available next week - unless he gets injured, obviously.Tell me when straight red cards have not been automatic 3 match suspensions...

I wonder if he wants to come play for the south.
Good question, but i'd go with Blackett who i think has better distribution playing the ball out from defence. He just shades it mind you
Spot on with that. Only disagree with the last line.You won't find anyone happier than me in regards to McNair playing and playing well but we need to calm our tits. When the other CB's are fit, they will go ahead of him and rightly so. Sure, keep him involved and if the others are not fit, throw him in again but it's always one extreme with a youth debutant, not up to it or a new star, nothing in between and in reality, it's always in between.
No issue throwing him up against Lukaku but if one of the others are fit, it's a no brainer.
Well I wouldn't want to play him against Lukaku but if van Gaal rates him and wants to give him a chance, I like to see that kind of faith, that's what I don't have the issue with. In regards to the difference in quality, pace, power and experience, I definitely don't want to see it lol.Spot on with that. Only disagree with the last line.
Yeah I feel the same way. But Lukaku will bully all our defenders to be honest.Well I wouldn't want to play him against Lukaku but if van Gaal rates him and wants to give him a chance, I like to see that kind of faith, that's what I don't have the issue with.

I'd be worried about starting him vs Lukaku and Everton tbh as well as he did. Same with Blackett though.
Smalling should be back, i guess if Jones isn't though.
If todays game is anything to go by, McNair will destroy Lukaku. He was garbage today. Concrete feet, first touch of a trampoline. Hopefully he carries that form into next weekend, and hopefully Martinez continues to put Lukaku out wide. No idea what his thinking is there. He looks awful out there.

He's not a cert to start against Everton. Blackett will be back, so we'll see what LVG goes with.
Blackett and Evans were starting together.LvG already said he won't start two left footed CB's together so I take it McNair will start.

LvG already said he doesn't like two left footed CB's together so I take it McNair will start.

Huh?!
Thought he was gone for 3 games?
Banned for one game as far as I know but doesn't matter, I expect McNair to start anyway.
Evans is decent with his left foot but is naturally right-footed.Blackett and Evans were starting together.
But it was a straight red.....
10 years ago, I could keep up with these rule changes. Can't now. And I'm only 25!!
Game's gone mad

Loads of reasons, handball preventing a goal, denying a goal scoring opportunity, basically anything that's not covered under:-
-Attempting to kick or strike another player
-Violent Conduct
-Serious Foul Play
Something learned on this Saturday night at least.
Red card for violent conduct - three games.
Red card for a professional foul like preventing a goalscoring opportunity - one game.
No, you get a one game ban for a red. Blackett, as the last defender, hacked down a player going for goal hence the red. Rooney dangerously hacked down a player, hence the Red and a three match ban.
