The Red Card that Wasnt.

True, forgot about that

3-2 to us....

Edit - shouldve replied to your comment about the Sunderland red card that never was...

 

no he wasn't offside but if he was I'd be happier.

 

Rooney should have gone in my opinion and I'll remember more

 

That was open to debate, I don't think so. I'm talking about clear cut decisions.

 

We have been quite lucky when it comes to decisions this season. 2 against Wolves, Everton should have had a penalty, We shouldn't have had one last week, Barton should have probably gone against Arsenal.

Against us, Song should have gone, Larsson off and penalty given (Count that as 2 decisions), red card today and add one more for the half hearted penalty shouts we have had as there have been a couple.

I make it 5-5 so far, may have missed some though

 

Ha your right, however you wouldn't really ever know points wise come may. Basically I am of the opinion that the big clubs get more decisions.

 

There is usually a table that comes out around the end of the season that says if all right decisions were made isn't there? Should be interesting as people have been calling us lucky for months now.

 

How can you ever be certain what the result would have been though? the butterfly effect would be the only possible method.

 

Think he was marginally off to be honest. Will have another look.

 

True, should just really give an indication of where abouts we would be.

 

I've been in bad mood since the 4th minute but really it's the injuries today that suck arse.

 

Don't know why your twisting about the red card that never was granted my first view I thought it was on the replay I think BA played for it.You were lucky to lose by 3 it could have been much worse.good luck for the rest of the season

 

Lucky and being good at last ditch defending and having a great goalkeeper are different things mate.

We were very close to scoring 3 goals ourselves.

 

Don't be ridiculous! even if you are right which your not he gave the foul and therefore denies a goal scoring opportunity. Are you off your meds? I'd forgotten how stupid Sunderland fans can be to be honest. By the way weve got every chance of 9 points form the next 3 fixtures .

 

On watching the replay on MOTD the ref wasn't even looking at Ba as he was fouled

 

It's a shocking decision again but we need to crack on, we played great but overall it's been a ****e day. Two very winnable games up next.

 

I don't understand how Ba being offside makes anything better. In fact that just means the referee has been even ****ter! Two wrongs don't make a right!

Also I think people are beginning to get far too bogged down on this luck business. Some decisions go your way, some don't. It's just getting silly now with people trying to tally up our good and bad luck and work out how many points we've lost/gained. Over the course of the season luck makes a very small difference and the teams that deserve to be at the top will be at the top, and the teams that deserve to be at the bottom shall be at the bottom.
