Possibly the only technology i would like to see is to check if the ball has crossed the line, but i reckon if thats allowed other things will be sneaked it and it will end up with all decisions being reviewd

That is what will happen, you hit the nail on the head. It will start small, and will end up with, big screen, 3D rotating displays, BBC/ITV and Sky trying to get one over on the other with it's own brand of technology, linked live via cable to pitch side, it's inevitable.
It wasn't a penalty (he went down because he has no Right foot and couldn't shoot) that type of challenge goes on all the time and never results in a free-kick. If someone puts their hand on your shoulder, your legs don't buckle. Not saying it isn't impeding, but then is shadowing the ball out of play, by sticking your backside into a player, not obstruction? And that always goes unchallenged.
I think the point here (reading the same thing on a few sites) is that this was the last big potential slip up for us, we have a tendancy to take that type of game for granted, and Blackburn, under Sam, can be tricky. We won, and it has put a lot of peoples noses out of joint (Setanta and the BEEB for one) and they are looking for excuses. The Ref was terrible, and he should take the blame.
When we play Pool/Arsenal etc we will be up for it, win or loose, it wont be a shock, this was the last of those games we should win but drop points in. Get ready, cos if City beat Pool the morrow, then the media will really let loose come Monday, it will be Tevez to Barca, Ronny to Real, Hargreaves is finished.......blah blah blah.
Mind, there is a Cup Final approaching, so the headlines designed to cause unrest between fans/players will start anyway.
