Second half he continued where he left off, only to suddenly have an epiphany and realise that he's been too kind to us, so to avoid suspicions of favouring us he decides to send off one of the fairest players you'll ever see. I really feel sorry for Fletcher as he was nothing short of outstanding tonight. The penalty was debateable but the sending off was ridiculous. Adebayor had a better shout at getting sent off for his studs on Carrick. It's a shame a game that should have been a cracker was ruined by a referee. No doubt he'll steal all the headlines for his performance rather than our fabulous display. I just hope whoever gets the green light for the final isn't as daft as this pathetic ref. | ||

First half he was extremely generous towards us. We were getting the softest of freekicks, in fact I cant recall any decisions going against us.

Too bad this post doesn't make sense since few posts before indicate that you're a clear Arsenal fan | ||

Also apparently the red card was ok (Graham Poll says so, so take that as you will). Something about, even if you get a bit of the ball, you cannot go into a tackle when you know that you will bring the other guy down after. Ill give the exact quote later as that doesn't sound right. But, well played United.. Ronaldo's goals were awesome (esp liked the counter attack goal). I could have gone to the emirates to see that game too, good job i didnt ha | ||

A 0-1 game would be hard to come by if Chelsea opens up, but if the deciding goal is in extra time, that'd be amazing. | ||

That explains the penalty - it's not quite the red card. It was clearly a penalty. Just poking the ball a few feet to the right doesn't justify hooking down Fabregas who had better position on the ball with his leg. Yet, it is still a play on the ball. The ref must have missed the play on the ball to take out the red. | ||

this rule is a little controversial because a red card and a penalty can be ridiculously strict - especially if it happens in the first 20 minutes of a game, but it also needs to be there because otherwise it would always be beneficial to handball a goal about to cross the line, as a penalty is less certain of a goal than a certain goal. I think most referees interpret this as if the attacker is robbed of a goalscoring opportunity as big or bigger than a penalty, then they also give a red card. | ||
