Danny Tiatto's disallowed goal v M'boro (away)
the real reason Wilkie gave that penalty was because he was the official who sent cantona off at selhurst park when he did his Kung foo kick, it was a gift, also it was his first united game he officiated since that night, probably the most gutless pacification of ferguson in his reign of of dominance over our gutless officials ? He is one of the list of officials who have cheated city over a very long period of time, but the one that hurt me most was the Atkinson added on added on time derby, a total coward who scared to face ferguson if that had not have happened.EalingBlue2 said:Ali Benarbia said:Should be plenty of scope for long and bitter memories here. One among many is the penalty given to the rags at the Stretford End after Rosler's chip over Schmeichel had put City in front in the F.A. Cup match.
For me no decision has angered me more in 35+ years following city - Alan Wilkie is a word of hate and frontzeck will forever be associated with being the victim of a footballing outrage!
Big Swifty said:I have to agree that the Sun Jihai penalty was the most outrageous perhaps. Jihai was taking the ball out of his own area when the opponent rushed up and barged into him - penalty. Some decisions were rotten, but this one defies belief - I can only think the ref was corrupt or a mentally ill cretin. Totally inexplicable.
I remember watching the Tiatto one on TV. A brilliant run, a cracking left-foot shot from distance, and the linesman puts his flag up, as another City player who was way out on the right wing was in a marginally offside position, not remotely interfering with play or in the keeper's eye-line.
I was at Derby's old Baseball ground in the 70's when we played there, on a right mudheap, filthy pitch as always. In an eerie precursor to the Sun Jihai incident, Archie Gemmill threw himself at a City defender and fell down. Penalty! Unbelievable! City had dominated the first half, Dave Watson had hit the |Derby bar with a thunderous header, but that changed everything. Wasn't that the game where Joe Corrigan got booked for sarcastically pacing out the 12 yards to mark the spot, since the spot marking had long since been churned up in the thick mud?
Anyone remember this incident? Can't recall who the nutter of a ref was....

crazyg said:Which one?cibaman said:Any oldies remember that goal ruled out for offside at Huddersfield in the early 70's? Caused a mini riot.
Trevor Cherry played the ball back to his keeper, but overhit it. The keeper pushed it on to the bar and it rebounded out. Bell, who had been in his own half when Cherry played it, followed up and hit it in from the edge of the box. Given offside. That one?
Wyn Davies crossed the ball from the left wing. Summerbee headed it in between two defenders on the line, one of whom tried to push it over with his hand. Given offside. Or this one?
The referee was Norman Birkenshaw, Who hated City (or more accurately, Malcolm Allison) with a passion, and admitted that in his autobiography. He was also responsible for some appalling decisions against us - the list for him is endless. A latter-day Peter Walton.
