More titties please!
ManU looked much better today versus Exeter 
Whats wrong with been Northen?, we've been cheated by poncey southerner's many times before. In the game not so long ago between Liverpool and Chelsea, Liverpool had an obvious penalty shout and the ref just ignored it as it was Chelsea, also my team got knocked out in the FA cup to a shitty little essex side yesterday so i'm still pissed about that, lol

Roy Caroll is one very lucky bastard. I couldn't stop laughin when he lost that ball and fell into the goal. In fact, one fan behind the goal (a utd fan) screamed 'Oh no, it's a goal!' Everyone then turned to the linesman especially Caroll and the game went on. I would have been even more furious had Heinze scored from that freekick right after the incident. They would have got away with a win they did NOT deserve.

That's why a penalty should be involved if the team asks for a replay challenge and end up being wrong.parker said:
For those of you that don't watch American footbal, in the NFL if any coach feels that a penalty (no, you can't challenge a touchdown, first down, etc. only a penalty) was wrongly given, then he may throw his red flag and the officials will review the call. If the call stands then the team that challenged the call is charged with a timeout. And since there are only 3 timeouts given per 30 minute half, a coach will only challenge a call if he truly feels the call can be overturned-therefore not delaying a game by too much, or risk losing a precious timeout. You really only see them every few games.
Now, with European football, I'm not sure what kind of penalty could be given for a failed challenge because as far as I know there isn't a timeout in European football.

Man Utd v Spurs
FA exonerate Assistant Referee
An FA spokesman after the game absolved the linesman of any responsibility following decision not to award a goal to Spurs after a shot from the halfway line crossed the line by at least a meter.
“The shot came in from an unusual distance and as such caught the linesman out of position forcing him to race back towards the goal as the play developed” explained the spokesman, As the ran, the United scarf he was wearing under his shirt came loose and fluttered up into his face obscuring his view and preventing him from making the call”. He went on, “If they don’t already have a Utd tattoo most officials try to wear a scarf or a shirt to show their support for the Manchester Club. The root cause of the problem lies not with the linesman but the players and management of Spurs who broke one of the most important rules of the English FA: They placed a shot on target at Old Trafford. Martin Jol is new to this country and as such is not used to some of our finer traditions. Visiting teams, by tradition, are not expected to try and score at Old Trafford. Fortunately our officials are in a position to help Mr Jol make that cultural adjustment.”
Chuckling he added, the goal had to be disallowed to avoid us descending down a slippery slope that would be bad for the national game. It’s a fine line the officials have to walk. If they award a goal this week someone might expect a penalty or ask that Van Nistleroy be booked for diving. Can you imagine? That would never do.”

What the fuck?? lol, That's a load of bullshit!!!! I reckon they were just supporting Utd in that match. I mean we all know how decisions go at the 'Theatre of Dreams' lol. It's been a while now since that, and yet, I have begun to get over it, but it will be crucial come the end of season. . . . . . .
