Red for the Aussie in FA cup draw with the Gils. Will probably draw a three-match suspension, meaning he's probably out when we go to Elland Road in three weeks.

NUFC.com's take:

Mark Viduka's red card for Leeds in their FA Cup Fourth Round clash at Gillingham should mean he is suspended for our visit to Elland Road on February 22nd.

If Viduka gets a three-match ban, which seems likely for violent conduct, then our game is almost certainly going to be one of the three that the striker misses, with the replay or a possible Fifth Round tie not making any difference.

Of course, as seems the case with most red cards nowadays, Leeds are set to appeal against the dismissal. Ignoring the ongoing feud that had developed between Viduka and his victim, Gills' boss Andy Hessenthaler, Terry Vegetables seems to think Viduka is innocent. Well, if OJ Simpson can get off...._
