As to me, the assistant refere has been doing aginst the united till the end of the game. Truly speaking ,I was expecting he would give some thing to the rival Chelsea and my expectation was correct.Let him enjoy. Anyway united will never loss the trophy.

I believe that was the first penalty awarded AGAINST Man U this season. If my memory serves me correctly, about 4 years ago, Man U had 12 or 13 penalties awarded TO them at OT. Is there some form of Favouritism in the EPKL. It would be nice to know the number of penalties per season awarded FOR and AGAINST each team. Might make an interesting statistic

I just think its amazing that Fergie can complain when they have not conceded any pens all season in the league.

Ball to hand everytime, if the ball had bounced back rathern deflected up I would say penalty, the fact it went towards the goal mouth putting us under greater pressure, even though Edwin gathered it in shows it wasn’t intentional, he was pulling his hand back and away, hardly the movemenet of someone intent on protecting their goal at all costs. If it was such a penalty shouldn’t he have been sent off? Exactly. Yet another where the game was decided by poor refs rather then the football played. There is just too much money in football to allow this to continue!

I’m a united fan and yes i can see why it was given. Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not – you can’t grumble, i think i would have given it. As has been said before this wouldn’t have made so much difference had Utd been given the penalty they deeserved during the corner but they weren’t, which obviously leads to frustration. If utd had scored that then the league would probably be over as Chelsea would most likely have gone down to 10 men and 2-1 down. But that never happened.
So Utd need to show what good champs they by picking themselves up to win in the week against Barce and then West Ham and Wigan. After that who knows, revenge against Chelsea or rubbing the scousers noses in it!! Live the dream MU!!
