A new day, a new game, a new reviewer….and a game in which we have seen something unique: a wrong penalty call against Manchester United. And this at Old Trafford. Ref Jones did the game between Manchester United and Newcastle United. What’s the score ref?

The Ref had a not that good game, tried to let the game flow but should’ve showed more authority. Specially about the dissent that the United players showed during the game and this also before the penalty incident.

The penalty for Newcastle was wrong because Ferdinand blocked the ball and didn’t really stick out a leg towards Ben Arfa. It was not a ball and man tackle but a clean tackle first on the ball and then there was contact but there was no attempt to make a foul. However it was the assistant who insisted for the penalty. Will we see him again on a field in the EPL? Will SAF have a word with Riley about this?

Wrong calls in general are well in favour of Man U.And as you can see the important wrong calls are pretty balanced so in the end both teams got their share of fortune/misfortune.

Man U also complain more and get away with it, contrary to Newcastle where only 1 person complains and doesn’t get away with it.

  1. Rooney is such a petulant little imp. I remember the ref getting in his way and as such the Newcastle player won possession of the ball and Rooney then blatantly and unsportingly shoved the player over.
    I think that was the incident in the 76th minute where it says he should have been booked. Not only did he shove the player over unsportingly, he yelled at the ref for getting in his way.

  2. Only a yellow card for Rooney’s kick on Coloccini??? Really??? It was twice as bad as the red card he got against Montenegro–two pointlessly violent kicks instead of one. It should have been a straight red and possibly a four or five game ban.

  4. More unfair calls for Newcastle than ManU! It’s a re-occuring miracle!!

    Thanks for the work 05. More evidence.

  5. El Gringo,
    As much as I love to see Rooney get a red card in this case it can be said that the Newcastle player kicked the ball away just before Rooney lashed out at him. So in this case he was given the benefit of the doubt.
    But giving no card at all was certainly a very bad non call.

  6. “The penalty for Newcastle was wrong because Ferdinand blocked the ball and didn’t really stick out a leg towards Ben Arfa. It was not a ball and man tackle but a clean tackle first on the ball and then there was contact but there was no attempt to make a foul”

    I watched the incident several times and this is certainly not what I saw. Ferdinand did not get the ball – Ben Arfa kicked the ball onto Ferdinand’s leg.

    Reviewer 05, please look at it again and see if you agree with me. In any event, please tell me what you would rule if my interpretation was correct.
