Not a problem. But maybe you should learn the offside rule (and the rest of them) before you start taking things up with the FA. Don't want to end up sounding stupid, do you?

Bored now. Point made though.

Goodnight.
 
Me too. Im going to apologise for whatever i've said or done to upset you and call it a day too. I was just giving my opinion, it's a shame you couldn't accept it though.

Sorry :)

edit: you're one to talk G|mp. You've gone soft in your old age. Had nabz spoke to you (the other day) like that a few months back you'd have murdered him. Instead you went all gay on him :p

edit2: set myself up there with the talk of you going soft :o

Can't complain about that. I told my Spurs supporting mate I was hoping for a repeat of the Everton game where we went from 0-2 down at the break to a 4-2 win. The fifth was just a bonus :p
 
After seeing the united penalty decision, I'm bemused. What an absolute farce.

If a defender comes out and wins the ball and the man falls over him is it a penalty?

No, absolutely socking decision.

What more could have Gomes done? His aim is to get the BALL away from danger and that's exactly what he did. If that involves Carrick falling over him then so be it.

If someone could tell me how else gomes could have won that ball I'd love to hear it. Don't say he could have come off his line quicker because he was out very quick.

United getting yet another decision...

I'm a chelsea fan who despises spurs btw, only reason I'm so angry about this is that i play GK and think Gomes should have been credited for a great save instead of conceding a penalty and getting a booking.

I really hope the card is appealed just for principle...

Anyone who thinks that's a penalty? just lol.....try putting yourself in Gomes's position and then tell me what you'd have done....(you can't stand big as there was pace on the ball and carrick was going in a direction so he would have simply taken a touch, gone pass you and slotted it in)

Just seen that Jagielka's done his knee ligaments and will be out for the rest of the season.

As much as i dislike Everton, you have to feel for him. He's been excellent for Everton this season and will now miss what is possibly going to be his only chance to play in a FA Cup final.

Can see Drogba mauling Yobo if he's up for the Cup final now.

I think thats our chances of pulling off a shock over now. Yobo just hasn't played enough football and we needed atleast a consistent back four to have a hope. I wouldn't be suprised to see him drop neville into the back four and leave yobo on the bench to give us atleast one defensive option to bring on.

Except he only touched it after Carrick flicked it, so he wasn't going to get it anyway, Carrick didn't try to knock it out of play either, so if he wasn't taken out by the keeper he would easily have just crossed it back in. If a defender does what Gomes did (but with his foot), then it would be a foul every single time. What makes it safe for a keeper.

Sorry to bring this back up again, but it doesn't matter if Carrick flicks it, the replays clearly show the gomes then diverted it (ie he made contact and pushed it wider). Carrick was not going to keep going and poke that easily passed the keeper as it was going almost 90 degrees away from goal! Even if Carrick could have finised it wouldn't be a foul because Gomes got the ball before the man. It isn't a foul everytime, many times CB lunge in and get a tiny bit on it. Sometimes the ref sees it, sometimes they don't. But this wasn't even discrete.
 
Berbatov was excellent yesterday. The second goal (I think it was) where he collected the ball and fed Tevez, who then fed Rooney, if that was ANY other player it would have bounced straight off them and the goal wouldn't have happened. The ball was pelted into him. Quality player.

Yawn, you keep telling yourself that.

I mean supporting a team not watching a team in the lower league, as I said most people hear wouldn't know whats its like.

Dude, I have Darlington and Hartlepool just near me, I had a friend who played for Hartlepool before he died in a car crash. I follow their results every week. I do follow other teams, but due to money, can't afford to see them. Although with United tickets going up again, if only by a small amount this time, I can see me going a few times to watch either next season.
 
I've got to admit that I've not really been following the Premiership this season but for an outsider it looks as if Man Utd are really taking the hard way to win it (if they eventually do). Handicapping yourself by giving away a goal or two lead seems a very strange way of playing the game but if it works....

Meh, it's all good fun.

I'm just saying what I saw as well. I thought Skrtel was going to be a bit more subtle than he was. It was a pretty blatent "stop suddenly, and reverse".

Like you, I don't think excessive shielding of the ball should be allowed as a lot of times it's constituting to obstruction.

But Skrtel didn't really have the ball under control at all. It was a poor backpass and he did what he could, but you can't shield a ball you don't have possession of.

Folan went, and rightly so. But Skrtel should have at least been booked, and it should have been a penalty.

Sorry :)

I'll let Gimp put you across his knee for that one. :p
 
not much to add but i was at the man utd game (bro in law a season ticket holder) and spurs fan was next to us. When it went 3-2 his reaction to the celebration was hilarious.
 
I was sat in Man Utd pub watching the game yesterday, out numbered by about 100-1. Not one fan thought that was a penalty, that ref couldn't wait to give it.

He went to give a foul on Modric before the 2nd, then changed his mind.

I'm not 100% sure the whole of the ball crossed the line for the other goal, ref didn't give it a 2nd thought. The crowd cheered and that was enough for him.

So sick of getting mugged at Old Trafford. A couple of fans tried saying to me they'd have won 4-2 if they hadn't got it anyway but it doesn't work like that. Anyone can see that changed the whole game, inflated Utd and deflated Spurs.

Just glad it wasn't that important to us. If things even themselves out over time then we are due a serious hoodoo over Man U becuase it's ridiculous the amount of dodgy decisions they've had against Spurs... no wonder we've not beat them in 18 games.
