Just played against Spurs (as man Utd). Bizarre game. Had over 20 corners in a 15 minute period which is unusual in itself as I normally get under 10 in a game even with quite a lot of pressure.
Anyway, I was 2-0 up and Van Horseface gets a great header from a corner which goes down through Keller's legs and over the goal line just as Keller recovers, turns round and dives on it. Waiting for the celebration and the scoreline to come up...... nothing happens. Keller then stands up with the ball and kicks it out. HOLD ON! I replay the incident, zoom in and the ball clearly goes over the goal-line. You can even see a tiny strip of green between the ball and the goal-line. Should have been given as a goal!!!
One thing I love about this game is that it never ceases to surprise me or get me shouting at the ref for being an idiot/biased, etc. Although I have had games where I've been crunching the opposition to the ground and got away with it while a simple shoulder nudge on their part results in a card (welcome to Old Trafford, lol!).
So, my first disallowed goal that was definitely a goal. Had a few questionable offside decisions before but this was a first. I demand TV replays for the fourth official!!!!!
