Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock insisted he was the victim of a vendetta by referee´s assistant Paul Robinson after being sent off during the 1-1 draw with Leeds.Warnock used a range of expletives to express his anger to Leeds counterpart Kevin Blackwell before being sent to the stands by referee Graham Poll two minutes before the break. However, the Blades boss refused to go quietly and it took almost 60 seconds for a police officer to forcibly remove Warnock from the touchline and usher him into the stands.The United boss said: "I´m very disappointed to be sent off and I don´t think it was warranted at all. I made a comment to Blackie about his players´ tackles and the fourth official took offence to that."
