Was it or wasn't it a goal?

[Mad Dog]

I'm in two minds about this. Forget who the two teams are, on the one hand, there was the handling of the ball that the ref and lino missed, but then the keeper shouldn't have put the ball down and played to the whistle.

Thoughts?

The golden rule is to play to the whistle, so it was a goal fair and square.

However, just imagine the fuss SAF would be making if it were Spurs that had taken advantage and scored like that...crikey, we'd never ever hear the end of it :roll:

By the rules.... Yes.

By common sense... No.

A VERY clear handball should have been blown up by the ref, I blame him.

Clattenburg should serve a suspension for it, absolutely ridiculous that he allowed that.

Playing the advantage would mean Spurs had some sort of advantage... I'm sorry but that didn't happen ANYWHERE. Rolling the ball out after a clear handball is not playing the advantage, the ref saw it, the linesman saw it, everyone watching saw it.

Its typical Man Utd. Decisions always go their way, if Spurs had scored like that it would have been disallowed.

Redknapp sums it up perfectly
