Apart from incorrectly awarding a free-kick to Chelsea that led to the goal, failing to notice the ball had crossed the goal line, and also missing Essien's foul on Gigg's that should have been a penalty, the tosser Bennett was wonderful:clap:

Cross the line it did, after a foul on the goal keeper. What about not booking Rio for kneeing Lampard in the back?

Have to agree with that ..I think he is crap but today is was more than adequate

I must admit sighing when I saw it was him, but his type of game was needed and he made sure that it didnt boil over, when it could of.

Or rather letting play go on rather than blow Giggs for fouling the keeper by kneeing him in the neck?...

That said, I can't stand Bennett.

Biskuit and Trigger, the 'foul' on the goalkeeper or the ball crossing the line is irrelevant in any case, because the correct decision would have been PENALTY.
Well I've only seen it once on the news, might watch match of the day later if there's bugger all else on then make my mind up on what was what but to me I didn't see anything worthy of a pen!

Ref had a good game in the worst FA Cup final I've ever seen at the new Wemberley.
