Riley yesterday, the obvious foul on Ronaldo against Portsmouth last year and Essien on Giggs in the final 06/07. That was the incident when Giggs slid into Cech, maybe knocking the ball over the line. They made a big fuss over that situation totally ignoring the fact that the only reason that Giggs did not get the correct contact on that ball was because Essien went through him from behind with both feet above knee height. Obvious penalty and red card, but was pretty much ignored in the aftermath. Was it Bennett for the latter 2 decisions?

Very good point that I was thinking about today, too. Should make a Youtube out of it (I might even do that if I can find links to clips). How Utd vs the FA cup.
