I've posted this before in another thread, I did a job at Mike deans house few years ago, I asked him if Sergio went down would he have given the penalty, yes, 100% penalty he replied, i sit right behind the goal in the family stand, no way could I have watched mario taking the penalty, I'd have a heart attack

I can confirm that, Neil Swarbrick was the 4th referee and I got to know him through work at BAE Salmesbury, he told me Dean would have given the penalty anyway if Sergio had missed, like you I don't know think my heart would have stood up to the pressure of Super Mario taking the penalty.

Best day ever!! After two weeks of getting pissed to celebrate it the wife had had enough! Lol

I've often wondered how my nerves would have held up if Kun had gone down (definitely caught by, I think, Taiwo) and we'd got a penalty.Without a doubt, my best ever experience at a City game (though the utd s/f comes bloody close). That explosion of noise when 93:20 happened will never leave me.

Wasn't it Nedum Onoooooooooooooah?

No; definitely Taiwo.

I think!

Walk up, turn sideways to look at the ref, backheel it in, no problem.

Ha ha - dink in the penner, a mischevious wink to camera, then a casual saunter back to the half way line. None of that shirt-waving hysteria for Mario!

I always wondered if the ref would have had the bottle to award the penalty...
