By the letter of the law, if he deems it a foul and a penalty, then he has to produce the red.

It wasn't even a foul. Anybody know if he's submitted his match report yet? Only way to save Fletcher for the final.

Clear foul.

How so? Any serious contact occured AFTER Fletcher won the ball.

Without doing what he did with his hands, Fletcher would have never touched the ball.

Contact was minimal with the hands. Even a Portugueso who thinks that football is a non contact sport would have to see that it didn't warrant a foul.

Yep. I see a clear penalty.

So does Marca, L'Equipe and most non-British journals. Does the Irish press also pander the United fans in Ireland?

I love it when you misrepresent the silent majority.

I've just read American, Australian and Canadian reports and they all say it was a harsh penalty. In fact, every English report I've read say the same, even Wenger said it, which is unprecedented. L'Equipe describe the incident inaccurately (no mention of hands which you say was the reason for the penalty, and Marca just say that he brought down Fabregas without mentioning that the ball was won.

I'm glad football was invented in England and not Portugal, if your dreams of zero contact are common over there.

BTW: See your hero Pepe a couple of weeks ago? What a clown! Worst player EVAR!

Real Madrid were battered without Pepe. That's how good they are when he's not playing.

As for the rest, I can but shrug to your genuflection towards the Anglo-Saxon sports newspapers who never understood continental refereeing and continuously shriek about how it's a "contact sport". Guess what, the Champions League is a continental trophy, not a British one.

Liverpool 4 RM 0. Guess who played the full match? Great argument Palonka. 😀

Not worth debating the other point with you, given that you think there should be as much physical contact in soccer as in table tennis.

*shrugs*

Says as much as the 4-1 at Old Trafford says about Vidic.

Of course, you'd have to have watched Real Madrid's season to see how important Pepe has been for them. And, of course, you evidently haven't.

Perhaps a bit of respect for one of the most talented individuals to ever play the game!

They don't all support the world champions you clown, theirs just as many Pool fans over here!

Well the press are aware of the fact that ManU have been the best team in England for the last 16 years (allowing for a couple of minor transitioning periods) and are currently the best team in the world, you see the media care a lot more about clubs that actually win trophies on a regular basis
