where's webb admission that palacios should've been red carded for that potential devastating two footed lunge tackle at ronaldo? these bastards sicken me
I know mate, but when you are at the top you are there to be shot at
Gus gets a pretty rough time in these parts.
He moseys into town a couple of days late and starts shooting in the saloon, folks kin get a lil ornery.
Saddo.I have looked over and over again at the controversial penalty-decision made by Howard Webb in Manchester United's last game versus Tottenham Hotspur on Old Trafford.
It is hilarious how much attention this incident has got from the media and football-fans, -managers and players around the world.

The referee Howard Webb has even come out and stated that his decision was wrong (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...254190,00.html) - which is kind of funny because it isn't.
If you look at the episode from the opposite angle (facing Carrick's running towards you) you can see clearly that his feet touches the ball before the keeper does, and even more so the keeper clatters him before getting to the ball:

It is hilarious how much attention this incident has got from the media and football-fans, -managers and players around the world. I read on one of the scouser's forum where they bled their eyes out over how unfair it was that Manchester United "always were the favored ones" in the ref's eyes, and how on earth they could win anything when football was this corrupt.
Sorry, I just laughed my ass off. What a joke. It was a penalty for f sake.
Concise and accurate post.*sigh*
The 1 angle you refer to i inconclusive, every other angle quite clearly shows the order of events is as follows:
Carrick touches it
Gomez touches it
Gomez brings down Carrick
Facht.
It should not have been given, Webb himself has admitted this upon seeing the replays. It was given, understandably might i add, and we move on.
He is pointing out that Setanta (and other medias) gave unreasonably much attention to the penalty situation.p.s. still dont understand the point. if its that obvious why doesnt someone say
That the media are claiming it was one of the worst decisions they've ever seen - up there with Poll's 3 yellow cards or Attwell's "ghost goal".p.s. still dont understand the point. if its that obvious why doesnt someone say
And how about the decision to not send off Palacios? Is that not also the sort of decision that decides titles at this crucial stage?it was the sort of decision that decides titles at this crucial stage, shock horror it got coverage.
You clowns would be livid had it been the other way and this decision let pool back in the door. Get over it. we were robbed v everton we got one v spurs.
you embarass yourself trying to downplay the pen, the importance to the game/title race and thus the justification of the media coverage.
later.
Indeed. It's quite simple really and people thinking otherwise are kidding themselves.Concise and accurate post.
This is exactly right. At full speed you can understand why Webb gives it, but it IS a mistake. There is no doubting that.

Hmm maybe i should change your 4/10 to a slightly higher rating.

four out of ten?
Where? And why?
Typical Frenchman not seeing it properlyFrench commentators here were 100% convinced it was a penalty.
