Whenever you have a tight situation and there's a close pitch, the umpire gets a squawk no matter how he calls it.
It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it was inside or outside the box.
A difficult decision for the referee's assistant. I wouldn't beat him up over it.
I remember when replay first came to TV. I can't remember who it was now, but a manager came out to beef about a call, and I ran him. He said he was going back into the clubhouse and watch replay. I told him, 'Go ahead. I am the replay.'
Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It's a disturbing trend.
Yes, I was in that game where George Brett hit that home run. Billy saw there was too much pine tar on the bat and he went to the umpire, the next thing we knew they were fighting about it.
I know about the rules but this should not be a red card for the keeper. Arsenal was punished enough with the penalty.
You don't notice the referee during the game unless he makes a bad call.
Some people may say wrong decisions belong in football, but if a final is decided in the 90th minute by a wrong decision, for me that is not a fair result.
