pour ceux qui doutaient encore de l'incroyable favoritisme dont jouissait manchester united vis a vis de la f.a......
franchement, aller voir les images du goal des spurs hier soir a old trafford car a coté de ca,la main de maradonna en 86 c'est de la roupie de sansonnet.
>"an FA spokesman after the game absolved the linesman of any responsibility
>for the apparently mistaken decision not to award a goal to Spurs after a
>shot from the halfway line crossed the goal line by at least a meter.
>
>"The shot came in from an unusual distance and as such caught the linesman
>out of position forcing him to race back towards the goal as the play
>developed", explained the spokesman, "As he ran, the United scarf he was
>wearing under his shirt came loose and fluttered up into his face obscuring
>his view and preventing him from making the call. It was just one of those
>things."
>
>In response to further questions from the Press the spokesman explained "If
>they don't already have a United tattoo most officials on game day try to
>wear a scarf or a replica shirt under their regulation kit to show their
>support for the worlds greatest club. The linesman in this case had chosen
>to wear a United scarf, a common choice that is in keeping with FA
>guidelines. The root cause of the problem lies not with the linesman but
>with the players and management of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club who
>broke
>one the most important unwritten rules of the English FA: They placed a
>shot
>on target at Old Trafford. Martin Jol is new to this country and perhaps he
>s not yet familiar with some of our finer traditions. Fortunately if he
>doesn't yet understand that for the greater good of the game visiting
>teams,
>by tradition, are not expected to try to score at Old Trafford then our
>officials are in a position to help Mr Jol make that cultural adjustment."
>
>Chuckling to himself the FA spokesman added "The goal had to be disallowed
>to avoid us descending down a slippery slope that would be bad for the
>national game. It's a fine line the officials have to walk. If they award a
>goal this week, next week someone might expect a penalty or ask that Van
>Nistelrooy be booked for diving. Can you imagine? That would just never do.
> No no no. Shocking, just the thought of it."
