    From the Metro:

    With 94 minutes on the clock and the scores locked at 1-1, Roar striker Besart Berisha found himself with the ball at his feet in the opposition box after some impressive build-up play.

    But when his first attempt at a shot was blocked and the Albanian forward was presented with a second chance, he spectacularly missed the ball under pressure from Liam Miller and landed face-first on the deck.

    However, to Perth’s horror, the referee pointed to the spot after he had adjudged Miller to have made contact with Berisha, who composed himself for long enough (after wildly celebrating the penalty award) to slot home the winner.

    After Sunday’s game, a shameless Berisha insists his conscience is clear, and refutes suggestions he conned the ref.

    ‘I just saw again some pictures this morning and you can see clearly the touch from the Perth player and I lost my balance,’ Berisha said.

    ‘It was clearly a penalty.'

    Whatever you say, champ...

    He continued: ‘I never made a penalty during the season. I do not do that.

    ‘You can see the touch from the defender and then I lost my balance. I am very happy the referee gives the penalty.

    ‘If not for sure I would have hit the ball if I had not been out of my balance.

    ‘This is the way it is in football. It is not easy to lose. I understand Perth is upset.’

    I would have decked him for celebration the award like that. Would have been worth a 10 game ban.

    I do believe that's the Liam Miller we had for half a season.

    Dear god he was average.

    If we go down to a decision like that it might just be the time to get my machine gun out and shoot anyone wearing black!

    The cheats will continue to do it until they allow video evidence for red cards, goal and pens.

    Everyone knows this except FIFA, QPR and the FA.
