What I will say though is that I agree with you about the way Leeds reacted and that a weak referee like Deadman might have been more prepared to "even things up" if City had reacted as aggressively as Leeds did, but, if the ref was minded to not show a second yellow to Fabio, he would have been making a wrong decision because it was a poor attempt at a tackle.
