lol...Hercules are doing there namesake proud.

 

[Robbo]

Offside goal... I didn't see what happened there. ESPN fail.

Goal stands! 2-0 Man Utd! Nani.

 

[manic111]

Knew I shouldn't have binned Nani from my fantasy team

 

[andi]

WTF is going on?!

Pld ESPN

 

[explicit4u]

goal ruled offside?

nope goal given 2-0.

 

[manic111]

Nope, goal given. I don't know why he'd have been offside. Frankly, I don't know what Gomes is doing. He's an idiot.

 

[Robbo]

What an odd goal. Nani took Gomez' free kick (though it wasn't a free kick anyway) for him and scored inside the penalty area

How very odd.

 

[andi]

Was it not a freekick then, or did someone else take it?

 

[manic111]

There was never a free kick given though...was there?

 

[andi]

haha, **** up from Gomez me thinks.

 

[markomania]

Nani dived and handballed that

 

[manic111]

OH...Nani handballed it after going over. Should have been a free kick, no idea how the ref's missed it. If the ref hasn't blown up though Gomes shouldn't put the ball down.

 

[BaZ87]

What did the lino have his flag up for and was it up before Nani scored?

 

[Chong Warrior]

Clattenburg strikes again... I didn't see that one coming

Even over ruled the linesman he was so determined to give it.

 

[Alpherah]

Yup, handball in 'protest' after his dive didnt get the pen.
Ref's in the EPL are a complete disgrace. Ranks up there with the beachball that one.

 

[markomania]

ref had his back to it but overruled the linesman who saw lol

 

[Robbo]

Was it not a freekick then, or did someone else take it?

Nani was taken down in the penalty area and appealed for a penalty. He touched the ball with his hand to stop it. The ref never gave a free kick.

There was never a free kick given though...was there?

Indeed.

Then Gomez picked up the ball (still in open play, it had not been stopped) and threw it a few yards infront of him and walked back, just like it was a free kick.

Nani then ran up to the ball, looked at the Referee, who shrugged, and kicked it into the goal, and the linesman flagged it away as a no-goal, then was over-ruled by the referee.

 

[Alpherah]

What did the lino have his flag up for and was it up before Nani scored? :confused

Ref called play on, Nani handballed after in protest, so the flag went up (Free kick to spurs for Handball)

Ref then over-rules the linsman, again.

 

[manic111]

What did the lino have his flag up for and was it up before Nani scored? :confused

The linesman flagged as when Nani went over he grabbed the ball - it was handball. Clattenberg didn't give it, Gomes thought it was a free-kick as the linesman was flagging and put the ball down, Nani pinched it and scored. I'm not sure whether the ref or the keeper is more at fault. They're both absolute burks.

 

[Steedie]

Clattenburg strikes again... I didn't see that one coming

Even over ruled the linesman he was so determined to give it.

Why would he not give it? Whether he saw the handball or not he didn't blow for a free kick. It was a **** up from Gomez
