1924: Unsurprisingly, referee Mark Clattenburg is facing some stern questions from Tottenham players at the final whistle. To be fair to Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, he looked to shrug his shoulder and shake his head when shaking Harry Redknapp's hand at the end. A goal that baffled more than a few people, then.

Spurs should have had a free kick for Nani's handball but didn't get it and broke the simple rule "play the whistle!" Gomez didn't and stuffed up - tough shit!
Park was immense today and Fletch and Carrick did well in the middle. Carrick is improving with game time, which bodes well for the future. Wonder if SAF will rest half the team in Turkey? |

| From memory Bale only had the one dribble and shot - shows how well he was marshalled! |

Fletcher on Nani goal yesterday:
| Quote: | "I knew that the referee hadn't blown for a foul and the ball was still in play,"
"The goalkeeper had a bit of a misunderstanding, he's put the ball down and Nani's put it in the back of the net.
"Tottenham will be very aggrieved by that, and perhaps rightly so, but in the first instance I think it's a stonewall penalty so in some ways we got a bit of justice."

As I said in my intro I'm a ref myself and Clattenberg was 100% technically correct. He might have missed the handball (error, but we all make them) or he saw it and played advantage which didn't turn out how he expected it to (unlike in rugby, once the advantage has been played you can't take play back if it doesn't pan out). His hands were tied and he had no choice other than to award the goal!
I'm really looking forward to the BPL round-up show tonight on TV to watch the whole thing again! |

I agree with you there i was extremely impressed by Carrick's showing today, out of form last season but seems to be turning it around now which is good to see. His positioning was great, tackling passing and his movement and vision going forward was also great imo.

This is the only logical explanation, that he played advantage - but then if he did that he must have seen the handball in which case he should have booked Nani. I don't think he's claimed to the players or the linesman that he saw Nani's infringement.
The illogical explanation is that he buckled under the pressure of refereeing at OT and despite being told by the linesman that Nani had hand-balled he took no notice of him and allowed the goal. |

^^ One of the professional referee trainers in the UK said in the week that Clattenburg had played advantage, a convenient comment which exonerates the officials from any blame!
It's a misconception that every handball has to be a caution btw. Yes, every handball has to be intentional, but the caution that may follow is for unsporting conduct and at the discretion of the ref (although I agree that for what he did Nani should have been booked). Cautioning a player for handball usually occurs when it's a bad case of cheating (e.g sticking out a hand to stop an opponent breaking away, not for the run-of-the-mill type handballs you see all of the time) or when the ref has had enough of the offender because of earlier behaviour. |

but if the Ref has seen the handball, plays advantage and then the perpetrator of the offence goes and scores a goal, surely he has to pull it back as no advantage has ensued? |
