Howard Webb

[Guest Snorky]

Just seen the two penalties Spurs should have had today at Old Trafford, f***in unbelievable decisions especially the handball by Brown.

 

It looks like the FA, Prem and Sky want a 2 horse race again

Disagree. Thought he did well. The handball decision was touch and go - seen them given, seen them not - but I can't really blame Webb (and his assistant) for not giving it.

 

If you want to blame someone, blame that useless fat lump in goal.

I like Webb, but he seriously f***ed up with the handball. Brown's left arm clearly went in the direction of the flight of the ball to block it. It was best save of the weekend.

Oh, it certainly did, don't get me wrong. It's just that it was very difficult to tell whether it hit his arm or chest. Even watching some of the replays it was difficult to tell. The way the Spurs players reacted was probably the best indication that it was handball, but you know what footballers are like.

Tell you what, if that had happened at the other end it would have been given without question.

[realtarragona]

The arm moved but after watching the replay a few times I thought it hit the side of his chest.

 

Can't blame the referee for not giving it in an instant when I could barely make up my mind after watching it a few times.

[Ostrich Man]

neither was a penalty.

 

good decisions.

[NWR]

neither was a penalty.

 

good decisions.

 

Agree. I was behind the goal and both looked good decisions. Seen the replays and the ball hit Wes chest.

 

Wes was great today.

 

Spurs came with a gameplan and marked us out of the game. On top of that we need a bloody striker. Spurs played well but no way were either of them penalties. Some of the shooting was terrible and Giggs was crap, I mean really crap.

 

All in all it was a lucky win, but many a good run has started with a lucky win.

No, it hit his arm but I'm not surprised it wasn't given, very difficult to see definitely for the officials.

[NWR]

No mate, it hit his ches/stomach.

 

Watching the slow motion replay now.

i think he got both decisions spot on. the handball one he couldnt possibly give it, even after seeing the reply from 5 or 6 different angles it still wasn clear where it hit brown, and the Berbatov one was never a pen

yeah cause obviously thats makes it better for those organisations...dont need no pesky other teams winning the league.

 

 

the sad thing is your an adult lifelong liverpool fan /football supporter with a kid who's just got 12 gcse's or something and youd still actually believe something as pathetic as that.

 

but let me guess when liverpool dominated it had nothing to do with the FA, football league and the media...probably actually was in defiance of those things i bet...

 

 

jesus christ.

Since the birth of Premiership you've had decisions after decisions. How many penalties awarded to opponents at OT again ?

 

Chelsea have been getting a lot of decisions since the Russian took over as well now.

[Guest Ant]

f***in hit them Dad

[Guest Snorky]

f***in hit them Dad

 

I have done many times in the past

Is f***ing Right Lad

 

 

[Ostrich Man]

oh so "favouritism" has only existed since the birth of the premiership...thats handy coinciding as it does with liverpool's inability to win the f***ing league....of course its got nothing to do with liverpool being not good enough and man utd chelsea and arsenal/blackburn? being handed the league by the FA or is it only man utd whove benefitted from this bias?

 

nowt to do with us being the best team or anything.

 

 

sad.

[stressederic]

After all the replays I've seen I still don't have a clue whether it hit Brown in the chest or on the arm.

[Guest Ant]

I've seen them given,

 

But how many times have we heard that phrase time and time and time again at Old Trafford, Just a thought

i do love the way in one thread kev is so f***ed off with these black clad gang members and in the next is remembering his peaceful good living past in which he avoided group violence.

Is correct, fairness was paramount pre Sky. That's why so many different teams won the league over periods of time. How many clubs have won the Premiership since it's birth 15 years ago......4.

 

Anyway what do you know, you half man half bird inbred.

since the advent of saturation point live football coverage about the time of the premeir leagues inception and sky's dominance.

 

if we had had the same coverage during the late 70s and 80s we'd have heard it at anfield just as much.

 

in fact youll hear it about liverpool just as much from other teams.

I hate to be so ignorant, but remind me of when the last time a Decision like Last week fell upon Man Utd in the EPL....

 

If it is recent, then I stand corrected
