Quote: Mark "I agree that the penalty was dubious to say the least but Spurs still conceded 4 very preventable goals.'"
I'm inclined to agree.
It has to be put into the correct context though. The affect that decision had on Spurs was clear. Prior to that Utd had only worried Spurs from set plays with Ronaldo, after that from the highlights I saw, we were ripped open everywhere. It was a disgrace frankly.
I have posted earlier on here that I honestly felt the game was there for Spurs to win by more goals but always cautious in the fact that we had to make sure Utd didn't get one first and they didn't look like doing so. Once the official gave them that penalty it was obvious from the reaction of the Spurs players, Utd players and the crowd what was coming (which was why I turned it over). It left me with a sense of corruption and unfairness, which was a pity because we more than equalled the best side in the land for an hour on their own turf (as we have done everytime we've played them this year tbh).
This may all seem like sour grapes and in a sense it may well be but there have to question marks about the fairness of the sport with that, it is too coincidental with yesterday and Mendes' goal not given a couple of years back. It needs sorting IMO.
