    Great. Years of therapy down the drain now you've reminded me of this.

    Indeed, it is one of the worst decisions ever made (mind you wasn't it Clattenburg that didn't notice the ball had crossed the line by about half a mile also at Old Trafford). I think it was certainly Clattenburg that said very recently that ManU got favourable decisions when Fergie was manager - yes, and it was him that gave a lot of them.

    It has to be said the Dutch team have mastered exploiting the offside rule for years by having a player be several yards offside so the defenders ignore them, and they run onside at the last split second and catch them out

    van Nistelrooy was particularly adept that this

    "You Spurs players go away. Not you, Rio. You can stay."

    Shouldn't have got that game after the Mendes non-goal at Old Trafford, then went on to create The Battle of the Bridge.
    Refused to do his job, including failing to give Mikel an early red card, as he'd been accused of racially abusing him before.
    ****ing clown.

    I'd be very hard pressed to identify whose kit it was, if I didn't already know. I think it's too bright. The wrong yellow.

    Bit of tunnel aggro between Klipperty and Dyche.

    The chances of someone us getting a pen against them are now even less than they were before. Which was zero.

    Well done Burnley though.

    I've finally seen the incident and listened to the explanation. Under the rules it appears to be a correct decision. What makes this discussion irrelevant though is:

    1. It's a bad law, and could easily be subject to deliberate abuse.

    2. There is not a chance in hell that goal would have stood if Villa had done exactly the same thing against Citeh.

    One of the reasons for that is if you give a controversial decision against a "lesser" club it's discussed a bit but quickly forgotten. Give a controversial decision against a "big" club and it's never forgotten. Whether this affects the decision makers consciously or unconsciously is irrelevant, it results in inconsistent application of the laws.
