We wouldn't have been complaining if he'd have awarded it to us. We've had two soft penalties awarded to us this season so can't complain.
I predicted that we'd lose one nil.. Im not too disappointed about the scoreline, but Im pi ssed at the manner of it!
good performance today A lot of changes and we still wernt over run Got to say poor decision as you say you win some Mabe could have done with a couple of subs 10 mins. earlier
Tubby is right, we can't have everything go our way all the time. No, it wasn't a penalty, it wasn't a deliberate handball (although in the flash of time it took for the ref to see it, I can actually see why he thought it was; the angle was against us). Yes, we've had two dodgy penalties awarded to us (Norwich and West Ham). It just hurts more because of the performance we put in. To get nothing isn't really fair at all. We'll just have to knock them out the cup instead.
another get out of jail free card awarded by a ref in the PL to keep the big clubs in the chase and fund TV. City were magnificent
We've had far more crucial decisions go against us than for us this season. There have been 3 games where the opposition should have been down to 10 men and a home game where one of our players was sent off (rightly in fairness) when he never even made contact with the player. This is what has been talked about before, where it is easy for the referee to make decisions that favour the BIG club because that is what is hyped and expected. **** happens, but doesn't make it right.
I agree, it just smarts. Thing is though, he'd been consistent throughout the game and wasn't doing too badly. But it almost looked like he glanced at his watch, then at the scoreboard, realised that Tottenham weren't winning, then at Elmo and grabbed the opportunity to win favour with a big club like Spurs.
You say typo , I say illiteracy. FFS if you're not trying to cheat the predictions comp, you're spelling "lose" wrong.
No mention of any 'controversy' or 'hotly disputed penalty penalty' on the BBC News. As if. London Top 5 club at home etc etc
