just today we were discussing the introduction of video replays in football,personally I said that they should only be introduced to see whether the ball has crossed the line or not........one of the worst decisions you will ever see tonight

Picture of the incident.

As you can see its a 50/50 decision!!

No doubt Silly Auld Fuckr will do the honourable thing and suggest that Spuds are awarded all 3 points.

now does sir alex think everyone has it in for united? now are they hard done by??

On the bright side, it hasn't gained them very much as Chelsea won. If that had been us, I'd have been fooking gutted for years.

Keeps us 2 points nearer to Spurs

 

 

Also looking on the bright side.

fcuk it

 

makes the game more interesting anyway

 

balls to video replays, might happen to us next game

should have gone to...

 

Ben Tal Haim got done for going down too easy so was done for cheating...... Roy Carol could clearly see it was over the line so should he not be on the same charge?

Was listening to Five Live last night and it had two Scum supporters on who had actually been to the game. Both said they saw the ball cross the line from their seats, both sat behing the goals. . . . . at opposite ends of the ground!!!!!!

An FA spokesman after the game absolved the linesman of any

i would like to see one of them computer generated graphics giving the view the liner had from his position on the pitch.

agree with you jay, who'd have thought (apart from EG!) that it would work to our advantage!
