This season Webb has been shit. Awful decision. GG Spuds. GG EPL.

where are all you spuds now?

cheats

cheats

5 now! woah! how bad are spurs!

 rotflmfao

That is the worst footballing decision i have seen in the last few years for what was at stake.
GG title.

Kill yourself plz Howard.

u knew what howard was about when he was giving the yellows in the first half to spurs players

fucking cheat

way out!
lol

rotflmfao

that is all.

Probably sound like sour grapes, but that performance by Webb needs scrutinising ... it was quite simply the worst display of refereeing I have ever witnessed in the top flight of English football.

absolutely fucking scandalous.

words

fail

me

amazing what happens when City win away... rotflmfao

I agree, Palacios should have been sent off early.

I think you should write to the FA and demand to have the game replayed.

To be honest Ralph, the game was meaningless as far as Spurs are concerned, however if the Goons were challenging Utd for the title, I am sure you would have been as incensed at that display of refereeing as much as every Spurs fan and Liverpool fan in the country.


Scholes should have been sent of 2 mins after coming on ... made 3 clear bookable challenges, but only collected his booking after the 3rd foul in 2 mins.

too many appalling wrong decisions.

firstly they are professionals and secondly we are trying to get 7th for a Europa league place.;-)

Harry doesn't want Europe.

proof?

super aids

Spurs got battered in 2nd half and got what they deserved....

If Webb was sure it should have been a penalty, Gomez should have been sent off.

sigh at all the ABUs who see conspiracy in every refereeing decision except the ones that go against us like last week's penalty that wasn't given ...

Like '99 we keep giving our opponents hope and then coming back. With or without the penalty we were never losing that match.

I totally disagree.  You were 0-2 down and going nowhere.  Referee made a season defining decision, and he got it completely wrong.

Just saw this for the first time and I'm a complete neutral, I have no love for either team. The keeper makes no contact with the ball and the player gets a touch then goes down. Quite often this results in a penalty regardless of who is involved. Suggestions of cheating by the referee here are ridiculous.

I'm as anti Man U as you can be, and my first thought was penalty. Knew Carrick had got to the ball 1st, so understand why the penalty was given.

There is no way in hell that Gomes doesn't get the ball. If the keeper makes no contact with the ball i'll give up poker.


Really? My first instinct was no pen.

Only cos the player got to the ball 1st, rather than the keeper. Obv after seeing replays its not a penalty seeing as Gomes got a good touch. But I do understand why the penalty was given

United score 5 second half goals and all people can keep banging on about it the decision- let's face it it's not the worst penalty ever given/not given

yeh i agree.

Its obv changed everything and would have loved to see Man Utd lose, as its makes the title so much more fun for the neutral. Even better with relegation battle as it is too. Woulda enjoyed it going down to final last game or 2.

The penalty/non penatly could have obv gone either way, but it DID change the game no doubt about it. Spurs were fighting before that, after that they just lost heart and fell apart completely.

The only reason being is that it did change the game. I'm not actually arsed either way as it was a better result for City.

Agree with this, penalty aside, spurs were shocking bad.   

Only AFTER the penalty decision imo.

Yeah but they're professionals, I wouldn't expect a local side to collapse like that after a dodgy descision, yet alone a Prem side.

A local side wouldn't come up against the immense Wayne ROOOOONEY  though eh?!

fair point, but it does happen and did. And Spurs were good for their 2-0 lead b4 the pen.

The penalty just gave the Man Utd players new hope and belief that they didnt have before the pen which gave them the confidence to romp it in the end.

I dunno, have you seen me with my footy boots on??

Um, no :D

True..but Spurs were just woeful after that. To concede 4 goals and blame it all on one desicion is just saying "Whenever we hit a spot of bother we crumble like the pathetic ,weak, overpaid girls we really are"

Why? He wasn't last defender and it wasn't a clear goal scoring chance denied.

Carlton Palmer - Ian Ormondroyd like?

[X] It wasn't a Penalty
[X] The Penalty changed the game

wtf? the keeper touches the ball!

I just checked my newspaper for the football results. Seems it was.

I'm a Man U fan

It wasn't a penalty

It undoubtedly changed the game

However.... it wasn't the worst decision in the world by the ref. You can certainly see why he gave it.

it wasnt a penality in the replay, but if i was the ref i would have given it aswell

+1 to that

Misprint!

Didn't look at all like a pen in real time and it certainly wasn't from the replays. Throrougly enjoyed this thread though.

lol

Eurgh George, didnt know you were a Scum fan.

Some people have to be... sadly

lol

Think I need to see it again, I did watch it quite early on Sunday morning with drink related fuzzy headedness.

http://soccerupdated.blogspot.com/2009/04/video-report-man-utdtrounced-tottenham.html

watch it a million times, you wont say it was a pen once.

Having seen it again a few times the ref gets it wrong, but given his positioning and with one opportunity to see it in real time I can see how he could give it, I still think this sort of decision is given up and down the country every week, or not given when there is a genuine pen in a similar situation. I suppose it's just a form of variance. The only way to stop this kind of award is a video ref to check when a penalty is awarded.

No different than any outfield player getting a "touch" then going through the player IMO.

Irrespective, doesn't change the fact that Spurs' bottle crashed.

Geo

I think Boldie summed it  up best here.

If a single wrong penalty decision against you results in you conceding a further 4 goals, you really didn't deserve to win the game.

Spurs bottled it and Utd deserved it. But this was NEVER a penalty - even sped up it wouldn't be! The ball changed direction before Carrick even hits the deck.

Webb is meant to be our best referee..... and Camel is right, if he was so sure then why no red?

Chelsea value 2moro @ 5.50 imo

it wouldnt be the first time spurs have bottled a nice lead against man.utd either

Good point.
