I'm really hoping Refael picks up an injury before Sunday's game. Neville v monkey boy would be hilarious to watch......

even more hilarious if neville were to bring down monkey boy in the box and to see if the ref were to give a penalty.

Not very likely though is it? More chance Bale trips over his bootlaces.....wonder if the ref would give a penalty for that....after all its Neville's fault for chasing him into the box. Perfectly reasonable to some eyes on this thread for sure!

More importantly, penguins are not allowed on this thread: gonna report you to the nearest Orca. Don't you have a dancing chicken or something?

i thought penguins were welcomed with open arms on this thread !

with special allowances and pride of place being given to the Clattenberg and Webb variety of the species.

or am i getting them more confused with sea lions and dolphins, that you would usually expect to find clapping their fins together when performing particular acts for a reward.

Well said redrus my first reaction was it was not a penalty but berbatov is not a diver like nani and i believe him what he said he knocked his trailing leg and put him off balance as they say some go your way others do not.

He did knock his Leg therefore fouling him, in the Penalty area..

Clear Penalty.

Never a penalty. Yes there was a touch. But it's not a penalty and the striker made a meal of it.

Number 7 looks quite conclusive - penalty.

Here are 10 offences that can lead to a direct free-kick.

When a player:

Kicks or attempts to kick an opponent

<li>Trips or attempts to trip an opponent

<li>Jumps at an opponent

<li>Charges an opponent

<li>Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent

<li>Pushes an opponent

<li>Makes contact with the opponent before touching the ball when tackling

<li>Holds an opponent

<li>Spits at an opponent

<li>Handles the ball deliberately If any of these offences are committed by a player inside their own penalty area then it's a penalty.

So? We have have argued for a lot worse blatant penalties over the years and they were not given. Never consistent refereing either. I for one would not have given it. Others would have. Isn't that one of those things that people argue about cameras/goal line technology? Makes it interesting?

If you / we can not agree after watching the TV Replays what chance does a referee have ????

What was the result ? 1 nil to Man Utd end of story because that what the record books will show ps well done BlACKPOOL :jap: THAT result will upset a few Predictions..

Exactly BT. That's why there should be the use of technology. And if the replays aren't conclusive either way, you do the same as in Cricket and the original decision stands.

Agree - technology has added to the sports where it has been introduced, not detracted from them. In the NFL the challenge/time out and review approach has raised technology in sport to another entertaining part of match strategy. Football is run by dinosaurs.

Unfortunately mate its needed these days to help nulify the "Blatter effect" on matches.

Anyone remember the Chelsea/Barca CL 2nd leg a cuople of years ago?

Now back to Manure and the end of your unbeaten run at the weekend.

Could not have expressed my opinion better Rus^ Lets hope we win in the last minute Rooney put through in an offside position skipping passed 2 spurs defenders only to dive(acrobatic stylie) over Gomez the clown ....and score from a retaken penalty that is taken in over-time awarded by the official United referee

Mike Dean

A scouser

A referee who got relegated to the championship

He is not very good,SAF told me so
