Like the commentator on the night put it, "it was a penalty won rather than a penalty conceded". Boruc (Celtic's goalkeeper), the alleged offender never laid a finger on Eduardo.  blush.gif 

The ref was conned whistling.gif

I have to admit though, Eduardo is one hell of a Centre forward. He was getting on the end of things and causing all sorts of problems for the Celtic defenders

That's the bad part, no?Now, they're calling for Eduardo's head.



Some quote from the article:
QUOTE
Celtic midfielder Massimo Donati said: ‘If it is clear on television then UEFA must act against Eduardo and ban him. I think he should get a two-match suspension.

'It was not a penalty. I told him, and everyone in the Celtic team told him. But unfortunately it is part of football now. We can do nothing now because the referee gave it.

‘Eduardo did not say anything to me when I challenged him about the dive. He just put his fingers to his lips. It is not good when one guy does this. I feel sorry for Artur because he tried to make sure he did not touch him.

‘When the referee points to the spot, there’s nothing you can do. In life, you are either honest or not. It is better to be honest in your life. Some people are not like that.’

Donati pointed to Hearts winger Saulius Mikloiunas, who was given a two-match ban for diving by UEFA after winning a penalty for Lithuania against Scotland, while Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty is serving the same sentence for cheating against Aberdeen last May.

Didn't you read what i posted on top?
Eduardo benefited with a penalty and they ruled that the offense was harsh enough(considering that he benefited from it) taking together player's actions and his lack of remorse. It's a rule that has always been there, it's up to the enforcers to enforce the rule.

Haha, getting all emo aren't you? It's like you get caught for robbing a bank and the press prints your face on the front page and you go, "why you gay press/people always bash me"

Dah salah tak nak insaf, lg2 bulan ramadhan, tambah pahala tu.

Pot calling kettle black?As far as I remember,after being told by my malay frens, trolling in bulan ramadhan "tambah pahala" too like what you did in Liverpool Thread and Arsenal Thread.Good job.

It seems like you are fasting and you are so bored that you got nothing to do but to troll around. thumbup.gif

Wenger to get apology from Hackett

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger can expect an apology from Premier League referees chief Keith Hackett following his dismissal at Manchester United.

League Managers Association chief executive Richard Bevan has spoken to Hackett about the Old Trafford incident which saw Wenger sent to the stands by referee Mike Dean on the advice of fourth official Lee Probert.

And he has been told that Wenger will receive an apology from the Premier Game Match Officials Board which appoints officials to top-flight games in England.

The Gunners boss caught Probert's attention when he kicked an empty water bottle down the touchline following a disallowed goal for Arsenal.

There was then confusion as Wenger seemed unaware of where he was supposed to go - moving first to the back of Arsenal dugout then starting to walk down the touchline as the whistle was blown.

On the decision to penalise Wenger, Bevan said: "Although correct in 'law', it was completely out of context in the game and it was followed by the nonsense which followed over where Arsene Wenger should sit."

He added: "I've spoken to Keith Hackett and he fully recognises the situation was an error and an apology will follow to Arsene Wenger.

"Lee Probert totally failed to manage the situation and created a needless pressure point taking the focus away from the pitch in a big event with only a minute to go."

Wrong boots got Diego Forlan kicked out of Manchester United

Diego Forlan has revealed he was kicked out of Manchester United by Sir Alex Ferguson for wearing the wrong boots.

Forlan, who played for United between 2002 and 2004 before joining Villarreal, said Fergie flew into a rage when he refused to wear the boots the Old Trafford boss demanded.

Fergie famously threw a boot across the Old Trafford dressing room in anger, cutting David Beckham above his right eye, and Forlan claimed he also lost the plot with him.

"Ferguson wanted me to play with high studs, the interchangeable ones that suit wet pitches," said Forlan, a flop at United who took 27 games to score his first goal for them.

"But I feel more comfortable in low ones. I agreed to change boots, but I didn't. Against Chelsea, I slipped in front of goal and wasted a chance.

"Afterwards, I rushed to the dressing room to change boots. Ferguson caught me. He grabbed the boots and threw them. That was my last game for United."

Forlan - now at Atletico Madrid - also revealed how Fergie called him with inside information on Arsenal when Villarreal met the Gunners in the Champions League last season.

"I was having a drink in Villarreal, when a friend answered my mobile," said Forlan. "It was just before we played Arsenal in the Champions League and Ferguson wanted to tip me off.

"And when we were in London he showed up at our hotel. I still have a good relationship with Sir Alex and his brother Martin.

"We have conversations and sometimes he asks me about South American players I might know of."

Forlan was also full of praise for his former skipper at United, Roy Keane, whom he revealed tried to sign him when he was in charge of Sunderland.

"Roy Keane's charisma, his personality on and off the pitch, he's a gentleman," said Forlan.

"In training he'd explain things in a good way, and sometimes in a bad way because it mattered.

"When he was boss at Sunderland, he called me all the time to go and play for him."
