penalties , not given

[blade too long]

Last nights appalling non decision in the man utd v fulham game when Carrick bundled over the fulham man and should have been red carded, willproba\bly be pivotal in the title race,
The lack of balls on some refs to award penalties in big clubs amphitheatres reminded me when the outstanding Luton Shelton was cut in 2 by Vidic, true it was late in the game but we got relegated in the end by 1 goal , and a 2-1 defeat , instead of 2-0 would have saved us, such are the tight margins in the prem . Refs who bottle these decisions are affecting futures, needs addressing.

Yeah it says it all even Fergie thought was a penalty.

Jonny Evans even said it was probably a penalty. lol

Massive decisions and they will ultimately cost a team its place in the PL,

It was heinze who brought down Shelton not vidic

We would still have gone down, because that would have left us and Wigan with identical goal differences (-22), but Wigan would still have scored more goals than us.

I too saw this over here and just shook my head - Manure have to be one the luckist teams - ever!

The non-penalty for Gerrards dive in the opening game made the difference then.....

It always did.

the game that really cost us was West Ham away , when the ref disallowed a last minute equaliser for impeding the keeper, which he afterwards admitted hed got wrong, it was a west ham player who had impeded the keeper , that would have given us a point an took 2off west ham , and we would have finished above them.

I try not to think of the what if's and what could have been's from the Premier League season. I find it just winds me up too much. It still only feels like yesterday though, weird to think how much time has now passed.

A constant reminder is the commentary on Fifa12. That annoys me.

I think we also managed to cause some self inflicted damage - the matches at home to Portsmouth and Everton spring to mind. Two points literally thrown away in each of those games, which would have seen us comfortably safe.

How about this one then? Blackburn v West Ham in March 2007.
Zamora's shot is blocked on the line by our old friend Tevez and the ref gives a goal...

Zamora's shot is blocked on the line by our old friend Tevez, who is in an offside position, and the ref gives a goal...

Add to the list the 2, yes 2, penalties we didn`t score against Blackburn at home and the foul that wasn`t a foul for Blackburns winner in the return fixture
