Portsmouth v Manchester United

Scholes was pretty fortunate to not get booked

There was shirt-pulling by Vidic, you've just got to let the ref know it happens in the other box, for example, there will definitely be some shirt-pulling in this corner

True, I was surprised he wasn't to be honest. But still, that was one of the softest penalties I have ever seen, ever. I don't buy this "it's a conspiracy" shit, but it was an awful decision.

Sadly none of that makes up for the fact that we're being badly outplayed by Pompey, and as crap as that penalty decision was we don't deserve to be in the lead
 
Ferguson will be sitting up in the directors' box all season if this refereeing performance continues.
 
It's beyond rediculious at this pint. Clear hand ball, not given, nothing foul called by the linesman. Clearly the league is not bent.
 
Vidic did grab his shirt but I guess now we will be seeing about 20 penos a game.

oh no we wont because its clear the FA want ABU to win this year.
 
I am close to giving up on this season. You can't keep on playing against 12 men like this.
 
Vidic had his shirt, the striker had his hand. 50-50 case.

The striker was trying to get Vidic off his shirt, and the referee was in the perfect position to see it. Happens all the time but technically it is a foul. Funny thing is I think the lineman also flagged for a foul by Brown.
 
Right next time we have a corner and there's any sort of shirt pulling against us then it's a pen. Right? How the hell did the linesman call that when the ref was looking right at it?

Can we please not turn into fecking RAWK and Andy@Allerton levels of spasticity. It was a soft penalty, but Vidic was pulling his shirt. Shit decision, maybe. Conspiracy, no.
 
Atleast Graham Poll can make a little money by appearing on TV and Radio now..and that bald guy
 
If a linesman is going to call a shirt tug a foul in feckING NOVEMBER, then a precedent has been set. There must be a call every time a player pulls another player's shirt in the box.
