Giggs for their 2nd. Wow.

Giggs was the difference for the last 20 minutes. And the ref bottling giving little Blackpool a pen to go 3-0 against Ferguson Utd.

I think that was the worst non-decision I've ever seen.
The Ref should have been binned for a season for that.

 

[Wizaard]

When you see penalties given for minimal contact that simply defies belief. Ten years on and I'm seething.

 

[Newholland]

Perfect example of a ref running scared of fergie “the bully” . Disgraceful decision, it was right in front of me , you could hear the slap !! ... I’m still fuming

I sat near the dug outs that night and remember watching Furguson 'handle' the officials. It was a master class in how to effect the game from the touchline.

It's an astonishing decision. It's a clear a penalty as you could ever see.

and the first goal was offside

Peter Walton was the ref wasn't he? Hasn't changed one bit .

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

That non decision is scandalous.
We see penalties given when it hits a defenders arm unintentionally and Varney is floored.

 

[Southshoresteve]

It was a disgrace - it wasn’t as if he didn’t have a clear view either.

I saw that on the day, must have been near you, I must have watched it 100 times since from every available angle and still can’t believe it wasn’t given.

Was a definite penalty, but my recollection of it is terrible. I remember it being the other end, and the defender being the last man. Completely wrong, unless I've crossed dimensions in that time. Shows how poor memory serves!
