HAND BALL in the penalty box = penalty ??????????????????

So why do we get a penalty against us in the north london derby yet the same thing happens against us at Wigan and its play on?????????

Don't forget the penalty that Wigan should have had when your keeper came out and completely missed the ball but took out the Wigan striker

Swings and roundabouts mate.

Slight difference in the handball too. Fabregas had his arm raised above his head. The Wigan player had his hand in front of his face

still a penalty tho JTC....

Don't disagree mate, technically you are right but maybe the ref took a different view. They seem to have invented a new rule these days for accidental handball. Maybe that's how he saw it

[johntheclaret]

Absolutely correct mate. The keeper never got anyway near the ball and completely took the Wigan striker out. The fact that he and the ball were going away from the goal is irrelevant.

The wigan player nzogbia sent off ...what a stupid thing to do yes he may have been heated over the tackle from wilhshere but no need to head butt other players.

Spot on mate. Disgraceful and will get min 3 game maybe 5. will surely get fined by his club too.
I think he actually pushed his head inti wilshire who went down like he'd been shot ( either of us would be too ashamed to react that way) but no excuses. When you do that sort of thing you know the other player is going to make a meal of it and you're off. Desevedly so

Yep poor tackle by neville definate penalty.
Good too see rooney on scoresheet again.
United will win by a couple

[mighty_tiger_79]

how bad is uniteds passing?

how can they win if they cant pass??

[Jim05]

Definate penalty to west brom. Not much rio could do.
Shocking miss though.

[Jim05]

What was that about swings and roundabouts?
Deliberate handball by west brom not given.
Thankfully hernandez scored less than a minute later

[mighty_tiger_79]

you were right Jim

at half time i couldnt see United winning, but now they are home

[mighty_tiger_79]

Man Utd will hang on 2-1

[Jim05]

Valuable away win. They are the ones we have been dropping all season. To win having 5 shots to 18 is a good return.

[mighty_tiger_79]

not only that, but got totally outplayed in the first half

plus that missed penalty

[mighty_tiger_79]
