Description of incident: Fletcher was sent off for two bookable offenses. The first was for a tackle from behind on Bowyer. The second for a trip on Jerome.
Date of Game: Saturday 9th January 2010
Home Team:
Birmingham City | Away Team: 
Manchester UnitedReferee: Mark Clattenburg| Linesman: John Flynn & Paul Simpson
Decision Type: Red card | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 2/5Affect on Result: Arguably none, potentially denying United an extra man in the final push and obviously in games to come when Fletcher will be banned. | Winner: Birmingham City | Loser: Manchester United
Players Involved: Darren Fletcher (Man Utd), Lee Bowyer & Cameron Jerome (Birmingham)
Summary: The first yellow was an obvious one. Fletcher came straight through the back of Bowyer - right decision. The second was definitely not a yellow card offense. Fletcher was stretching for the ball and barely caught Jerome, it wasn't a dangerous tackle, he had little time withdraw his leg from the tackle due to being off balance and it was a clear attempt for the ball.
