In all the confusion and the crowd noise (not least eminating from a penalty appeal) it's very easy for the whistle to be missed. When it was clear Gomes thought the whistle had gone Clattenberg should have said something. Nani clearly handled and just as clearly Clattenberg never played the advantage. There was never any advantage to play in the first place.

Come on, it's not just us. No visiting team ever gets a descision at OT. We just seem to get the most obvious descisions against us.
Even Jon Champion who has no great love for Spurs alluded that every year we inexplicable get so many descisions incorrectly against us.
Incidently, Ferguson still carries around his stopwatch doesn't he?

Also I should point out as it has obviously escaped your notice that yesman (A Utd fan last time I looked) brought up the Mendes goal, not me. And then Jon Champion did, several times, before I did.
