Handball Jordan will never be forgiven by Wales fans, it still rankles with many after all these years as it was such a travesty and prevented us from getting to the World Cup finals back in the late seventies. The pen decision given tonight was minor in comparison and the least we deserved despite it being a dive by Bale, the earlier blatant foul on Davies was ignored by the German ref who must have had rain in his eyes.
Tonight was sweet but it only pays back a small part of his debt . Dai will love him though because he can always loves our opponents more than us.
I'll certainly never forget, the Jordan arm. Broke my young Welsh heart at the time.... That win was so sweet last night, especially as I work with Jocks & spent the whole night shift with a big grin on my face!!!! Not really any need to say anything!! Well, maybe I asked once or twice how did Wales get off!!!! Anyway so proud of our team last night. Battled from the 1st minute to the last. Quite chuffed for Coleman actually, hope that's the start he needs after the tough time he's had following on from Gary Speed. Pity we've lost Ramsey for Croatia, was going to be such an uphill task as it is.... Let's hope for the unbelievable, Jeff!!!!.....
Can not believe the audacity for the Scots to whinge after the decisions that they have gained against us at the past!
The Hand of Jord... you see him celebrate when the penalty is given when he knows exactly what he did. Still can't understand how the ref never saw it.
Scots moaning about the penalty and their goal that was disallowed. Tough!! I remember Jordan too. As for last night, the linesman deemed the cross out of play but I have yet to see an angle that confirms it one way or the other - so I'll go with the linesman. Did Bale dive? I didn't see the ref surrounded by hordes of outraged Scottish players, so I'll assume the decision was sound. What makes me laugh is that one of the commentators on my stream said that if Bale was fouled it was only the slightest of touches, as if that is some sort of mitigation! It only takes a slight touch when someone is travelling at Bales's pace. And if we are discussing penalties what about the nailed on shout we had when Caldwell flattened Craig Davies in the area. Not only that he was like an octopus with his arms all over Davies. On another subject, when we next play Sunderland, if Fletcher is playing I suggest that Laudrup benches Ashley Williams. Williams just cannot cope with him. He scored for Wolves against us; did the same for Sunderland then out-jumped Williams to set up Scotland's goal before losing Williams once more for the disallowed goal. Pretty worrying set of stats for Williams... and for us.
Ivor, Shaun Maloney has defended Bale and said it wasn't a dive and he did catch him in a coming together. So that just confirms it was a penalty, unlike Joe Fcuking Jordan !!!!!!
Dilli, I also thought that he got a slight touch on Bale so justice was done. Appreciate Maloney's honesty, all too rare in the game these days.
Ivor, yes 100% agreement with you there, he even apologised to the rest off the Scots players for the penalty.
