    No it isn't... do you know what 'contradictory' means?

    Where have I said there was no contact? You clearly haven't even bothered to really read what I wrote.

    A 'subjective' TV angle?! I wasn't aware TV cameras had a mind of their own and could misrepresent light waves so that the image broadcast to a TV is different to what was filmed by a video camera. Do you know what 'subjective' means?!

    I have the view of a zoomed-in clear and unobstructed video replay which I can watch as many times as I like. And again, I'll repeat for you, at no point am I arguing there's no contact. Have you even read any of the points I'm trying to make?!

    The contact occurred because Ramires stuck his leg out at a bizarre and unnatural angle so that it could collide with Szszesny, thereby creating contact. You claim he 'slipped', I claim he did it on purpose. Neither of us will ever know who is right. But in either scenario it's not a penalty.

    Because I started supporting Stoke in 1963 and well remember the lucky ArseNIL in 1970's

    The problem with the 'slipped' claim is that his right leg moved forward when he touched the ball, then moved sideways in the air to meet Szczesny's. Feet can't slip in mid air.

    You can see why it was given, judging by this angle:

    ... but, judging by the angle in the link I posted earlier (here for quick reference), it's obvious he took advantage of Szczesny's proximity to con the ref.

    No not bitter, it just hurts. We have won more than 1 trophy in our history so please get your facts straight!

    Best of luck tonight against West Ham. Enjoy the evening.

    I'd say the League Cup in 1972 is one trophy wouldn't you ?
