Just watched Chelski v Utd. Clear penalty in front of that extra official behind the goal. He is looking straight at it and doesn't give it. Maybe we need more officials one for each player. Still think Utd deserved the win on the night and Torres's dives were just embarrassing! Rooney and Hernandez were immense, both attacking and defensively.
I can't stand Adrian Chiles, but for once had to agree with him when he referred to the extra officials as "chocolate teapots".
Thought the ref was generally good, however, as you have rightly pointed out, it was deffo a penalty. Still pleased manu won.
Fully agree about the officials, how could they not see that? Goal was pure quality though, brilliant cross field pass, Giggs kills it and takes it past the defender in one move then lays it off for Rooney to coolly slot home.
What a loss to our game Giggs will be when he retires. Consummate professional. Personally I think he is the most gifted all round player I have seen grace the Prem. And to think what England could have achieved if we hadn't let him slip away to Wales.
I agree that Chelsea deserved a penalty, and probably deserved a draw on the balance of play. However, that 60 yard cross field ball, and that piece of brilliance by Giggs for the Man U goal was pure class.
I hate Carrick with a passion MrR but do concede that was one hell of a pass to Giggs. The problem for Utd is thats his good pass for the season gone.
Bang on MR and once again got to agree Re: Giggs, pure class and has been since he first appeared in that young Man Utd team all those years ago. My only criticism of him is that he dumped Dani Behr, why???
Ever think that even if there is Video evidence there might still be wrong decisions? Stuff like ball to hand or red carding tackles which are hard but fair. I find it hard to believe that that guy on the line didn't see it, he just didn't have the balls to make the call.
Are the officials on the goal line miked up to refs and can they give them decisions? Dont think they have flags do they? What is the actual remit?
