Clattenberg the closet Manc strikes again!

[berniecuddles]

i blame "gormless gomez" no one gave a free kick it was a "good " goal,the keepers a liability for spurs!!

[trapped]

I agree with bernie are you a Leeds fan joe

[berniecuddles]

spurs are not a bad team but they have got to get rid of "gormless gomez" he will be their downfall!

Nani went down and the referee did not give a penalty. Nani handled the ball when he went down, but as Gomez had the ball advantage was played and no free kick was indicated.

Gomez put the ball down, Nani checked with the referee that it was still in open play, and he indicated it was so put the ball in the back of the net.

Bizarre goal, and the keepers fault.

Trapped......I'm a Spurs fan (why did you think I was Leeds?....my OP wasn't anti United it was anti Clattenberg)

Bernie......Gomez is a top keeper, one of the best in the Premiership, he had a shaky start for Spurs but has been excellent since.......he just wrongly thought Fergies secret son Mark Clattenberg had given an obvious free-kick for Nani's handball......the linesman (will never get used to calling them a referee's assistant!) pointed this out but still Clattenberg overruled him

It didn't change the result because Spurs probably still would have lost but it still irks

A couple of years ago ref Howard Webb awarded United a very dubious penalty when Spurs were 2-0 ahead at Old Trafford and this changed the whole game with United going on to win easily (see link below)

At Old Trafford United tend to get all the big decisions go their way, the away team always suffers......referees have their own agenda and if they want to make their way in the game giving decisions against United at Old Trafford is not a good thing to have on their CV

i understand how you feel joe. So you must be happy that my team wba got the lucky/deserved breaks when we played at old trafford the other day.

[joeluke]

Piggy......that was Van der Sar dropping the ball and gifting you a goal

Not a lot the ref can do to influence that is there?

[lilsecret]

IF Gomez REALLY thought it was a free kick, why did he take the ball several yards forward instead of kicking it from here it was handled?

[joggerjayne]

That ball's not over the line.

It's the camera angle.
