[edit] Peter Willis/Kevin Moran

Hi. Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, Wikipedia works with only sourced, or referenced, content, and the snippet regarding Kevin Moran in the Peter Willis article is claimed by such a source as actually being said by him in a published interview in the Guardian. I have been unable to find anything else on the internet to back up what you say, and none of my referee autobiography books mentions the Final in passing at all. I suppose you have a reason to be sure of what you are stating, but if it is not checkable by readers of the article, then it can't be included. I hope you understand. If you do find a reference for your version of events, please amend the article, or let me know it so that I can. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 16:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, you are more than correct, looking at Soccerbase. He was indeed sent off in the 90th minute (the Cup Final article said 78th minute), so he must be mistaken in the interview. What I have done is clip the quote in the Peter Willis article so that his comment about exactly when he "walked" is removed, and the rest of the quote still tells what he thought of it. I have amended the 1985 FA Cup Final article to say 90th instead of 78th minute for his sending off, and backed it up with the Soccerbase link to the match (the other link didn't work anyway). I notice the substitution time was wrong too (45th minute not 90th), so I corrected that. Hope you are happy with this - I am. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 17:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
