Re: Football Season 2011/12

first I don't think of of these claims were penalties.

The Cahill one started outside the box and Cahill missed the ball by less than a centremetre. Usual case of the commentators saying if he touched the ball it's not a pen. With there being no foul and the intent clearly being to play the ball but missing by the smallest margin, how on earth can you give a penalty. Surely a penalty should be there for a foul but if you are going for the ball then that can't be a foul. It's another case of a defender going for the ball and the attacker making sure there is contact and falling ove

The Evra one was just a coming together of legs, again no real foul or intent to stop the attacker playing the ball.

The third one was the attacker making sure he left his leg behind and bringing about the contacted.

Still don't think DGG is good enough for us. Yes he made a good save but then most keepers are good shot stoppers of the ball. His overall game was still poor, tried to punch the ball far to often and was lucky his punch from long range near the end of the match went over the ball, it could have easily ended up in the path of the Chelsea player. He still can't deal with corners or crosses and needs a lot of work to get used to the EPL. One save doesn't mean he's good enough for us yet
