It wasn't. watch it again. his flag is pointed at the ground the entire way from Nani going towards goal (and going down) to Gomes assuming he had got a free, putting the ball down and Nani putting it in the net. At every single point of that, the flag is pointed at the ground.

I love how people bitch about Nani handling it because he ASSUMED he had got a free, and none of it is Gomes' fault because he ASSUMED he had got a free.

He flag was up, that's why the ref went over. I'd say the linesman thought the ref was going to call play back straight away when Nani stuck it in but when he realised plankberg was going to award the goal so he sticks up his flag and tells him Nani handled it and it should be a free.

Clattenberg is a shocking excuse for a referee. Next time he ought to kit up in a red jersey so at least we don't think we might have a chance at a fair game.

The two yellows for our centre backs in the first half? Hilarious.

Utterly mugged.

The better team won, no ? Bale was kept quiet mostly,Lennon was his usual huff and puff.You really missed VDV when he went off, thought he had a decent game.

Wrong, play never stopped . . I know the ABU's will love making more out of this , watch it tonight . . Fletcher said the ref never blew the whistle . .

Again, were roles reversed, we wouldnt be discussing the goal, united fans would be defending the perceived awful actions of their players in surrounding the ref/linesman . . :rolleyes:

Surprised Gallas didn't go on strike and just sit in the centre circle!

Does anybody notice that gomes goes to take the kick and clattenberg tells him to stop and thats why he doesn't take the kick out

His flag was not up when Gomez rolled out the ball to play on. I haven't seen on any replays when exactly the flag went up but it seems to be a while after the ball was already in the net.

Rafael was the best player out there. Even Michael Carrick shít all over your midfield.

Yes, Michael Carrick, the same man Spuds like to claim that they fleeced a ton of money off United for in return for Carrick and a load of domestic and European medals.

Yes, because an equaliser was more likely at 1-0.

Was that just before Nani scored?

I'm sorry but Modric was class that's bollox

Look if Gomez had kicked it out of his hands, like he ran forward to do, and it went through to Crouch who scored would we then be complaining that a free kick hadn't been taking of would we be commending the ref for playing a good advantage?

Mister men

Hands up who thought it was possible to find a bigger cheat in football than C.Ronaldo. I did'nt it was that's for sure but lord and behold along comes Nani. The guy turns diving into an art form.

Did the ref book nani for the dive was the question.
Not 'was it a dive'. I haven't even seen it and I know it was a dive.
Answer the question, please.

So why are you even here? You didnt watch it but want to havea say. Its pathetic at this stage.

jonnyfingers wrote: »

Ref played advantage as Gomez looked to continue play quickly with a throw or a kick, signalled by him picking up the ball and running to nearly the edge of the box. Gomez changes his mind and ****s up. End of story.

In saying that Hutton should also have been booked, and probably Jenas.

Well Hutton's was just mistimed and not really late or anything, totally different to the Evra one which potentially stopped a counter attack.

I don't support either side, the better team won on the day too but really Clattenberg was not good today.

17 million for him is more than a joke tbh, it's an entire comedy stand-up routine

Anyone who watched that game and thinks Spurs were robbed are deluded

Maybe he was class by your standards, but we come to expect better than that at a big like United.

We didn't play well, I'm not claiming we did. I'm just saying that we were mugged. Which we were.

As for Rafael playing better than VDV. lolwut?

Implying you wouldn't love him on your team.

This man talks the sense. I can imagine here if Gomes pumps it up field and the ref blows to bring it back. People here would have a go at the ref for not allowing the game to flow. You cant have it both ways.

Should have given a penalty, but didn't
If he didn't think it was a penalty, he should have booked nani

so 1 bad decision for each,

after that it's gomes's fault

Well, it's quite simple. Rafael nullified your most in form player, and some would say, best player.

VDV did what, hit the post?

Sure by that logic Park played a cracker, he hit the post. Nani played a cracker, he hit the post too. Of course, he also had an awesome goal and a superb assist, so it's much more of a realistic claim.

Alright to end all the arguments I'll go back in time in my DeLorean and award the freekick. What's that? United win 1-0? I'm still happy.

Mister men

I can see why Gomez is pissed off.

Watch it. Gomez says to the ref '" is it a freekick'" - the Ref nods (Whether to him or Nani - who knows) so Gomez says OK.. Great. Then Nani scores.

Honestly if you are OK with this 'goal' then they should just stop football now. Just stop the league. Why bother with it? If it's pre-decided then the whole thing is pointless. There is no point. It's supposed to be a sport.

Nice to see someone use a level head. If it was in the United box there would be uproar about the peno not been given.

Lets leave Alan Hansen, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer decide it was a goal. Two strikers against one defender says they might award it!

I'm usually the most gracious man in the world, but some of the pre-match sh*te ye were spouting pre game was laughable.

Ye were well beaten today, second best all over the pitch. Rafael restricted Bale brilliantly and United's so called inferior midfield were clearly superior. It was a penalty anyway IMO so I don't know what you're crying about. The icing on the cake is the moronic mistake by your keeper that you were bigging up before the game.

Maybe next time you'll wait till after the game before running your mouth.:)

I think your deluded if you think he wasn't excellent small man in the middle of the park constantly was winning the ball and starting attacks he was far better then carrick.
We weren't good enough to win the match but to not be able to see a very good performance is ridiculous

Good old Calamity Gomes.

Spurs were getting nothing from the game, even if you disregard the stone wall penalty which people seem to be doing for the sake of feeling sorry for themselves, there was nothing wrong with the goal.

Oh God, I thought offering a replay or giving Spurs a free goal was good.

That's why we constantly ran down the left hand side and put crosses in. Yes, good job Rafael. Crosses weren't the greatest but I wouldn't have been happy about that performance. You're trolling hard though so I'm going to stop responding to blatant baiting.

Not trolling at all, just pointing out that you were a bit foolish to guarantee a win considering you haven't beaten us in what is it now, 25 attempts?

You said Spurs would win. You were wrong.

You said Bale and VDV would be the best by "a mile". You were wrong.

I know you love all those internet meme's, so please imagine one of those super hilarious "deal with it" pictures here.

Did you take your ABU juice to make that one up ? ? The ref didnt blow for a free . .

If the ref confirmed it was a free to Gomez, why did he try to take the free over 20 yards from where the foul was ?

That aside, the behind the goal angle shows that the ref is clearly stating to Gomez that there is no free and to play on . .

Everything from Spurs came down that side of the pitch. Rafael did ok but he wasn't great or anything.
