Didn't you know that with having all the refs on the paybooks at Utd were allowed to make more subs than everyone else

Makes sense

So is Evra going to get suspended again for this incident?

I would laugh if he ends up getting sent off

Andy Gray "Evra winning the ball" when talking about his tackle on Ballack, don't think so.

Its up to the ref to award the foul, if not then play on, otherwise whats the point in having a ref at all?

Because he didn't see the foul and gave Utd the advantage. Still doesn't get away from the fact that it was an Elbow and he should have been carded for it simple as that

Ref got it wrong simple as that. Like he got the Evra booking wrong just then

Now Evra gets the ball and gets a yellow!!! Could this ref be more biased??

What was the big round thing he kicked then? Unfortunatly it wasn't Ballacks head..

No place for sportsmanship at Chelsea apparently.

I'm sorry but if the ball is put out everytime a player stays down it would be hard to get a decent game of football going. It's up to the referee to stop play if he deems the injury serious enough to warrant it.

The rules say intent is enough and he certainly intended to clatter into Ballack just then.

This has been the best Charity/Community Shield in years

Via Ballack's leg.

Are refs psychic now then? It was a tough challenge but you can't possibly say he was going for Ballack, he got the ball, that is the fact.

BaZ87 · 9 Aug 2009 at 16:45

There isn't extra time if it's a draw, is there?

If there is then I want a Utd goal, this is good fun.

Its intent if he makes no play for the ball. As he clearly got the ball it's not entirely true what you say BaZ

Not sure actually, from memory there has been extra time in previous years.

SS-89 · 9 Aug 2009 at 16:47

Straight to penalties if it's a draw.

andi · 9 Aug 2009 at 16:47

Goes straight to PK after 90 mins.

JamesU2005 · 9 Aug 2009 at 16:48

Truth be told this year will be the tighest of Prem League Championship's IMO.
