Think the responsibilty lies with the 5th official here. Perfect view yet didn't give it. The ref knows he had the best view and put his trust in him, which was a bad thing to do as it was as clear a penalty you will ever get.
But he was wrong. Stevie Wonder could see it was a penalty.ForzaMancini said:jimharri said:I'm pretty sure that the ref can over-rule his assistants, and he had a pretty good view.ForzaMancini said:Think the responsibilty lies with the 5th official here.

Yes but if the 5th official has a perfect view and doesn't give it then he is going to side with him. Which I think I would have in the same situation. Ref would have to be certain the 5th official was wrong to consider over-ruling him.

He was brilliant, the best referee we've had this seasoneshiers1 said:did our game with napoli at home i think
would be nice to ref at the highest level as a hobby whilst looking at the players thinking i have more money than you!!
It's ironic he didn't give the 2 clear pens to Barca. He gave them everything else outside the area.Dirty Harry said:Fpmsl at the ref clearly watching Puyol's shirt being dragged off his back going for that header. tut fuckin tut.
