This is my last post on the subject as its getting boring tbh.
Its a simple equation really....did the penalty have an impact on the contest ?
Undoubtedly it did, both in terms of the actual scoreline and the mental state of both sides players after. It got the crowd going, rejuvenated Utd and demoralised Spurs. Nobody can say what may have happened but from the game I watched Spurs looked comfortable, indeed Redknapp stated he expected us to go on and win by more. However, the penalty changed the course of the contest and it should never have been allowed to do so. That is why it stinks of corruption to me, not because it was criminal or sinister but because the official was influenced by more than the actual incident itself. That is why it was wrong and why technology has to come in to stop it happening again. For heavens sake, it is hard enough getting a win at Old Trafford at the best of times, we have had 2 wins taken off us there in the last 3 seasons through ridiculous officials.
Anyway thats enough, the game is over.
