Why isn't a tug enough to win a penalty? It's a free everywhere else on the pitch, so why not in the box?
I see very little difference in the Young incident yesterday and the foul Evans committed on Walcott during the United-Arsenal game at OT earlier in the season. A pull is a pull, and whether the attacker goes down easily or not is immaterial. |

That was blatant. I agree Webb did not want to give that because he had given two penalties earlier and a third that would have gave us the victory would have been too big a burden for him. Webb is overall a good ref. But he will never be a great one like Collina. It takes courage to do the right thing. |

I agree, he was an excellent Ref.
I only commented because you said it takes bravery to make the right decision, and then mentioned Collina. In my opinion, that sprang to mind as a decision that Collina bottled. Hence, nobody's perfect. |
