I believe in fairness
and it would take the gloss of any victory if we cheated to win or it was down to dodgy decisions, even though I know we get more than our fair share of the shitty end of the stick. I would rather we overcame the odds.
all I said was that I wouldn't begrudge him a goal. I didn't want him to score. I wanted us to win. I'm glad we did. wasn't a penalty, though and the decision favoured us. I was just being magnanimous in victory - he'd already not scored. |

[quote=hughes......oh i say!;26239]Ok, the pen was soft and if that had been us on the receiving end..say when Christie cheated, we would have been a tad annoyed. We did, however, try and even it up straight away by letting Saha take the pen, you can't ask for better sportsmanship than that.[/QUOTE]
absolutely, he even hit it the same side and scuffed it to diminish the pace on the ball. that's sportsmanship! |

The only reason
Quote:
Then he fell over. Conveniently. But he did actually fall over, having lost his balance jumping the challenge. Either that, or he's got one hell of a lot better at "simulation" all of a sudden. It was as much of a penalty as the one Sol Campbell conceded against Rooney at OT two seasons back. And that *was* a penalty. |

ah
I knew someone would bring that up (hence heading it off at the pass on r.i.). the difference is that campbell made no attempt to play the ball (which rooney had already knocked past him) and was deliberately trying to impede rooney - and nothing else: there was both intent and actual impeding. rooney could not have got the ball and jumped over the challenge, which would otherwise have wiped him out.
schwarzer came to get the ball and missed it (he was committed to the challenge before ronaldo knocked it past him). he also missed ronaldo and always would have, even if ronaldo hadn't jumped over him. ronaldo anticipated the foul and it put him off his stride. now you could call that a penalty, but it was harsh. |

I'll say again that Rooney could have made all this moot had he simply stuck the ball past a Boro defender on the line, but he somehow hit it right at him. |
