Dodgy Decisions In Our Favour
« on: August 08, 2013, 09:10:35 PM »
Just to balance things up a little what are the most memorable dodgy decisions by match officials that went in our favour ?
I can't think of too many but that's probably because they aren't injustices that I will remember till my dying days like those mentioned in the opposite thread.
Dion Dublins header V Leicester (H) that may or may not have crossed the line ?
Milan Baros's blatant handball v Everton.

Not really what you are asking about, but one the Noses mention is Saunders being off side at Villa Park in the League Cup, when the full back on the opposite bank was playing him on.

I seem to remember us getting a penalty at Southampton (which Angel converted), where no one in the ground had any idea why it was given, other than the ref.

Or you mean the one when he was in his own half.

I was there with plenty in fancy dress. No one had a clue why is was given. So, we just let Kevin Phiilips score to even matters up. Our defence is very fair in that direction.

Not long after MON arrived we played Fulham at home in a Saturday evening 5.30 game. Stan was awarded a penalty for a most innocuous challenge by a Fulham defender - may even have been Zat Knight.

Bennett not being sent off at Norwich last season. Big 3 points that day.

Penalty v Blues at the Holte End that Milner converted for a 1-0 win. Johnson knicked the ball in a tackle on Gabby.

Did Ashley Young handle the ball over the bar at Hull in the last minute of a 0-1 win? Dunno, but Craig Gardner seemed delighted the decision went our way and promptly skipped like a girl.

No! That was almost one for the another thread. Ash jumped with his hand in the air (god knows why) and the ball clipped the top of the bar but the ref then awarded a penalty. After much delay and a chat with the linesmen the decision was reversed. I was at that game, I think it was around Christmas and we went 3rd. I genuinely left the ground thinking we would be a shoe in for the top 4 that year.
