I lost patience with Martin Keown when he pushed in front of me in a queue in the Churchill Square branch of Barclays Bank in 1985.

I think the still image on that article is fairly conclusive proof that Solly did make SOME contact with Trezeguet's shin (for those claiming he didn't). Still no-where near enough to cause him to tumble like he did, of course, nor enough to make it a penalty.
Your mistake was not throwing yourself on the floor with a scream, if you'd done that he'd have been on your side

Spot on. He pauses and approaches talking like the equivalent of a wise old man pushing glasses up his nose before coming out with something intelligent and insightful. Unfortunately Keown then proceeds to spout complete verbal diarrhea.
He's one of the worst of a very bad bunch.
Yeah we spotted that one. Plus the nonsense about having players who "want to get the points". He just chatted shit the entire game and then got important incidents completely wrong.
Can't believe he gets paid for that standard of nonsense.

There is a lot of sense in this. Punditry works two ways. Accept or ignore. There wasn't even any spilt milk to cry over in this instance, surprised so many getting animated as such.

Look at it from the angle that shows it properly (someone posted the slow mo of it on here somewhere) and there's clear daylight between them.
The only thing that hit Trezeguet's shin was the ball, and he was already mid swan dive when it did.
It was a terrible dive and he should have been booked. Especially with the bonus rolling around on the floor for two minutes, holding his ankle (which wasn't even touched by the ball). What a dick.
Agree with the comments re Shearer, he was having none of it and called it correctly on the incident and that we played really well and deserved to win.

Not when you see the slow mo from behind that clearly shows Solly pulling his leg away with no contact.

The longevity and cause of such grudges is what makes football the sport it is!
And that bloody Jimmy Langley signing for Fulham. Greedy sod.

Just got the feeling that we were lucky enough to be the team that Oliver chose to make amends for the shocking 'non goal' decision he made last season, which would have sent the mighty Villa down !

I agree that that angle makes it look like there was no contact. But I'm struggling to look at that still image and envisage March pulling his leg away with (at the moment that was taken) an absolutely maximum of a millimetre between them, as that appears to bear out. It would almost defy physics!

If ever there is a part for a long lost Mitchell brother to appear in Eastenders, then l reckon Martin is your man.

Searched for threads with Keown in the title and had quite a choice, none of them complimentary, which just about sums him up. Settled on this one as apparently I’d started it when some bullshit he’d previously come out with had obviously pissed me off.
Anyway, he’s back on form this morning on talkSport. Still banging on about the Rice red card, he’s almost in tears. Embarassment of a man. White and Jordan are just taking the piss out of him constantly and he’s not even aware. Absolute tool.

Ha ha. What a berk.
FYI, I have no idea what kind of person Martin Keown is but I did acquire a Barclays Bank credit card recently.
What type of bank is Barclays?
We are a diversified bank with comprehensive UK consumer, corporate and wealth and private banking franchises, a leading investment bank and a strong, specialist US consumer bank. Through these five divisions, we are working together for a better financial future for our customers, clients and communities.
And we'd love it if Trump got elected because our American division CEO would pay less taxes and get even richer.

He is the perfect example of someone who believes they are intelligent by talking slowly and using 4 words where 1 would suffice.
