Pat Nevin is a Spaz!

This is why I don't watch Match of the Day analysis anymore. Every £#%&!ing one of them is clueless.

I agree though, it probably is a penalty

I agree it was played for but only in the sense that when you're running to get to a ball first, you can be sure the defender will take you down if you manage to touch it away from him. But that doesn't make it not a foul. And whether or not he appealed for it is of course neither here nor there.

Don't mate. Seriously don't bother.

Absolutely! Nobody seemed to want to pick up on this. They were more concerned with where the covering defenders were and completely missed the fact that Ramires threw himself over the Keeper's outstretched leg!
A blatant dive that seems to have been completely missed

Schoolboy error.

We wouldn't have scored a £#%&!ing penalty anyway

Problem solved if fat f£#%&! waddles in to OT.

Something like that, yeah. Though I think he has been a bit involved in Scottish politics in the past......

LOLZ. That seals it then. Defo not an intellectual.

anyone who's watched football will almost certainly have remarked upon appeals as being a tell tale sign one way or the other following comings together such as Rooney kicking Caulker and tumbling over yesterday

I put it to you m'lud that in fact Rooney blatantly played for the contact, that there may well have been enough in it to earn a [professional] penalty, and that Rooney's immediate bounce up and appeal tactic was as a consequence of the general feeling in the United camp that that linesman is a bottling @#%&! when he does United games and wouldn't give it. I further suggest that Rooney's appeal was of the sort that follows a decision going against him, even though barely a second had passed before he was in full-on raging scouse wig-wearing sky-pointer mode
