This is a huge bugbear of mine...
It's unwritten journalism law that they have to use 'ten-man' as an adjective when referring to a team that's had a man sent off, regardless of when the red card came. The fact is, we dispatched 11-man Falkirk, and then they had a man sent off.
It does my tits in.
Anyway... carry on.
Edit: it was from the Evening Times, by the way...
