    Does anyone have any footage of the incident towards the end of the Tottenham game where Zamora went up for a header and instead got two arms/fists in the back of his head? I want to show it to some people.

    For me, this was far worse than the two wrong penalty decisions because penalties can always be debated. But for that BLATANT foul, I was left feeling staggered at the fact that they didn't give anything. The linesman was looking straight down the line and MUST have seen it. The ref also should have seen it as it was where the ball was. Ultimately, it wasn't that much of a hard hit but you simply can't have your hands up and push a player in the back of the head. The only way I can explain it not being given is due to the referees not giving a toss about it.

    It wasn't a pen. Vertonghen and BZ were jostling (so to speak) but never a pen.

    The handball was the most obvious pen even more so than the tackle on Isla.

    I know it wasn't a pen. It was outside the box! :cheesy:
    I'm saying it was one of the clearest fouls you can make and yet was seen as perfectly ok by the referees who MUST HAVE seen it.

    I thought this was about the rumour that Barry McGuigan wants to use HQ for the Carl Frampton v Scott Quigley fight in a reprise of his title-winning fight there 30 years ago...
