So Slammed and Dog read what Poll has to say in today's paper.
BTW Dog I like the picture and the clever inference but my point was that we were comparing penalty decisions and not sendings-off-Gomes did not get sent off.BR2 Refs,for all their faults,do know the rules of the game.

I’ve not read any paper today nor what Poll has to say. I’ve been playing regular 11 a side Sunday League competitive football for 15+years and seen quite a games to boot so I feel I have a decent enough grasp of the rules myself. It was never a foul, nor was Gomez.
For all that Sunday League experience you are (like a lot of pundits)wrong.
To quote Poll (ex-FIFA referee) "When commentators and former players say "He got the ball,it can't be a foul" they are wrong.
Even though Fletcher got a slight touch on the ball,Rosetti felt it was impossible for the Manchester United midfielder to avoid taking his opponent in the follow-through.
Therefore,he had no option but to dismiss the Scot"
