Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has hit out at the Welsh FA's decision to overturn Darren Purse's red card, allowing him to play in the FA Cup final.

Purse was dismissed for a foul on Andy Cole in the Bluebirds' 3-3 draw at Burnley, and would have been banned for the final until the FAW overturned the decision.

"We would not get any help at all, would we? We would get a player banned and that would be it, there is nothing you can do about it," said Redknapp.

"I do not want to see the boy missing the FA Cup final but it is a bit farcical. Cardiff play in the English league, play in the English cup, want to qualify to represent England in the UEFA Cup and then when they get a player sent off it goes before the Welsh FA."
