well you will see it if ya watch the game back mate, heitinga blatently looks at campbell and steps across him knocking him on his ass...

Sounds like he stood his ground. or aren't players allowed to do that?

I'll have a look later when I get the chance.
 
Indirect free kick for obstruction. Anyway. We started fantastically well today. Really although Cahill took the goal well it was lucky. Everton were the better team without creating too much. We settled for the draw and mug pulled out a great save. I'm amazed Fellini didn't get booked! I wasn't too confident going to Everton but the lads stood up each and everyone! We had 3 first team players who should be back in for the replay and I think we can make Wembely, it will be tough and it will be tight but home advantage is massive. I thought marriner was swayed on a few decisions by the home crowd.

He didn't stand his ground, ITV showed a slow mo at half time, he looked THREE times then stepped across.

I appreciate you were at the game, but it was an offence, end of.

I did think the ref tried to let the game flow, to his credit, but nobody can argue this....

He booked Bendtner, and clearly indicted '1.2.3 yellow', we all saw it.

Fellaini conceded 11 fouls, and no yellow.

Drenthe was judged to have dived twice.

Swings, roundabouts, Sessegon back, floodlights, SOL.

We are going to Wembley. You all know I never make this kind of statement, but Everton's chance was today.

Frankly, at 1-0, MON got it wrong for once, we should have kept the urgency, they couldn't live with it.

We will win the replay, for the first time in my memory against a very good Everton, my head and heart agree.
 
Smithy, with you on this, I thought the ref got all the big stuff right and tried to let a very feisty game flow <ok>
 
I thought the ref got alot of the small stuff right but some of the big decisions wrong. Drenthe was fouled in the box, penalty not given. Foul in the build-up to Evertons goal, not given (so even themselves out there i guess). 2 other decent penalty shouts for Everton, the hand-ball by O'Shea is the type you often see given but i think it would have been harsh.

I wouldn't say he had a good game. Average. For him.
