lol hater,
The whistle blown for a foul or handball, the keeper dropped the ball, Nani scores... same thing happened to TH previously and they didn't complain. Karma is a biach!
Where did all the common sense go?
The point is from what I hear the ref played advantage for Nani's handball and when he saw that the advantage did not materialise he should of stopped the game and awarded the free kick.
golden rule play to the whistle
+1
EDIT: Please use at least basic punctuation. You're supposed to be at work, so act like it.![]()
common sense?
Nani is fouled no whistle - he handles the ball no whistle - no flag raised - Gomes picks up the ball no whistle - Gomes drops the ball - Nani runs to retain possession of the ball he asks the Ref wtf? ref says carry on - Gomes tries to save the shot... who's in the wrong? Nani?

Why does it always happen in FAVOR of United
I took some stick here and on twitter for “defending Tottenham” over what I and many other people saw as one of the worst refereeing decisions in the history of the game when Mark Clattenburg gifted United a goal.
Look, **** Tottenham, the point is that United get the benefit of this type of call far more than any other team and it needs to be highlighted every time it happens or it will never stop. As Match of the Day pointed out, Clattenburg has even been at the center of the controversy before as he somehow managed to deny Pedro Mendes a goal that was yards over the line after United’s keeper bobbled the ball. And Gooners have felt the sharp end of this stick as well when Rooney dived to set up the winner and end our unbeaten run in the 49th game.
When it comes to this type of play, I simply apply the Rooney/United test: what would happen if the call went the other way? What would Fergie have done if Crapenburg had allowed Gareth Bale to steal in a sneak a goal? I bet he’d demand a replay.
But more than that, can you even for a moment imagine that goal happening to United? Just look at the differential treatment that the players received when Clattenburg was making his decision: Tottenham were told to leave him alone (and eventually yellow carded) while Rio Ferdinand was allowed to stand there and scream at the two officials during their conversation.
It doesn’t get any clearer than that.
One of the perks of being the biggest club in the country I guess.
On a side note Birmingham is Englands second biggest city besides Villa and City are there other teams from this city?
Recent events would suggest that if Rio was wearing a Tottenham shirt and named Luka Modric, he'd have been booked for this show of dissent
