No it wasnt hard for the lino to see to be honest.
he should have been level with the last man utd defender who at the time before the shot was half way in there half - the ball was then in the air for about 4 seconds after pedro shot which gave him plenty of time to get back level with it
my son was at the game, i spoke to him at full time on the phone, even the man u supporters just could not believe that decision !! its nothing more than a joke !!! and where is the fourth ref
I've never been sure before now but this match confirms we need video replays in football. There is too much at stake these days to let human error in when it comes to vital decision making.
And Man U may be able to bung a ref or two but a whole FA appointed video replay decision team?
Referees who make bad mistakes should be suspended for a few games.
The problem is the FA's attitude that the ref's decision is always final even when it is a pile of cobblers. I accept that a ref can make an honest wrong judgement but some of these refs do it over and over again.
Completely agree. Although I sympathise with referees who get slated for minor mistakes, they should be punished accordingly when their errors are so fundamentally grave and costly. Doubt the FA will do a thing though, too busy fining skint clubs for minor skirmishes.
