Tevez against Newcastle, similar position, foul when the "last man", a goal scoring opportunity, yet just a booking.
Chamakh had let the ball run away from him and it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity... in my opinion.
But Clattenburg has previous with us, so no real surprise the twat ignored Fabregas' indiscretions and sent Boyata off.
Cheating hair weave tosser.
Is this the incident where the Newcatle player according to the Replays took the Ball and not the Man and was outside the area anyway ?
We realy need to move on from hiding behind imaginary poor Refereeing decisions. Last night and today it's been like the Forums been impersonating Neil Warnock or Big Fat Sam.
Did you see the Burnley v. Reading game at the weekend?
First goal for Reading was a penalty... the forward went past the centre half, clear goal scoring opportunity, tripped up. penalty... and a booking.
And the Reading foward had the ball under control at the time as well, unlike Chamakh who didn't.
Boyata's tackle wasn't a sending off.
Whether you like the decision or not... you move on and leave me to comment as I see fit.
Fair enough?
PS You really do need to read up the laws of the game with regard to "taking the ball"... you might be surprised that it was most definitely a penalty... and even the referees have admitted that.
