"I jogged over. Not one bad word. No swear words or bad language. I just wanted to ask him why he didn't add any [further stoppage time] on. He didn't speak to me and just pulled out the red card. To pull out a red card and embarrass me in front of the whole world, I wasn't happy."
"I don't think Peter did it on purpose, he just misjudged it. I will never jog again. When there has been a clear and obvious mistake, and for me this was a clear and obvious mistake, it should be overturned. This is what I've experienced when players have a red card by mistake, it can be overturned, and I expect the same."
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke was sent off for the first time in his 16-year managerial career after approaching referee Peter Bankes at the final whistle of Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City. Farke jogged onto Elland Road to question the referee's decision regarding stoppage time but claims he used no profanity or threatening language. He stated the red card was shown before he could speak and expressed frustration at being embarrassed publicly. Farke believes the dismissal was a clear and obvious mistake and indicated he may appeal, noting that similar red card errors for players have been overturned in the past.
