If penalties not being given by referees are quite common then
offside called is even more common thesedays... maybe 3 or 4 or
more in every match...
Why i said why don't you say referee kelong didn't give 2 clear
penalties before that... is because Rob Styles is known to be a
referee that always give important decisions against united. It was
clear as daylight for everyone to see... Even if he can get away
with the Ronaldo one, Giggs was so obviously fouled... The first
goal is always so important... It could win or lose the match for
you.
On Ferdinand's goal, all i can say is... we should go and watch it
again... But apart from you, i have not heard anyone else say he
was offside...
Tevez goal... The lineman or ass referee you may like to call him
may be running back but what makes you think he wasn't able to see
clearly from where he was? Replays clearly showed the ball crossed
the line... The back shot wasn't clear but the front shot certainly
looked over the line.
Your last paragraph seem a bit strange too... You seem to be
suggesting that Ferdinand's goal was offside, Tevez's goal didn't
crossed the line... The officials didn't do their jobs properly and
your fave team won...
I don't know how to say this and hope it won't offend you... I
don't find anything practical from your comments at all... I think
its more cynical rather than practical... We should acknowledge
that linesman did a great job and was spot-on when he made that
call.
I agree that errors that can be eliminated should have been
eliminated... But Rio and Tevez goal wasn't in that basket of
errors made during that match...
It was embarrassingly one-sided, and Jose Enrique cleared off
the line from Carrick, while many players in red appealed for a
penalty as Carr clashed with Ferdinand.
Ferdinand stole in at the far post five minutes from time to hammer
home Rooney's delicate cross, before Ronaldo claimed his first
Premier League treble with a deflected finish.
There was even more agony for Newcastle in injury-time when Tevez
added a sixth. Newcastle questioned whether the ball had crossed
the line after the Argentine's shot came down off the bar.
Replays showed it was a goal, and former Old Trafford star Smith
contested the decision so fiercely he was sent off.
