Was living in Abu Dhabi at the time, and it was a surreal day. Was not actually big news locally, which is probably a reflection of both the Emirate itself and where we are at in those days.
Good point. A bit like the APT case, where I seem to remember witness testimony overrode an e-mail from a club to the PL, which specifically mentioned bringing in new rules in the wake of the Newcastle takeover.
Blew up bang on time in 1st half when we were in a promising position (for once). At the end of the 2nd, gave them at least another 30 secs when they were in a similar position.
