Trent Canary 0 Posted October 31, 2010 [quote user="Barclaybred"]Adams on FM 95.10 says it wasnt a pen![/quote]Yep, but theres just as much a case for it being a penalty. Im sure Neil Adams counterpart on Radio Cardiff would have said it was a cert. On another note, the United/Spurs incident was frankly hilarious. The officials messed it up, but then Gomes seemed to forget the first rule of football - Play to the whistle. Dont think anyone really emerged with any credit.

Im a big rugby fan, and when an advantage is given, play can be brought back for a free kick/scrum/penalty if the team do not end up with an advantage. Not sure what the exact rules are in football, but common sense would dictate that it should not have stood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
