I cannot even begin to imagine how the referee is supposed to convince us that he couldn't see that, what am I looking at?! - A STONEWALL penalty not given! I mean even a drunk referee fresh off a 90 mile and hour theme park ride would have given that.

The ref was 10 yards away, 10 flipping yards away and he couldn't see that reckless challenge by 'flat-face' Fletcher was not only a penalty but also a sending off, bit on the harsh side? no, not really - considering He cut right through Arshavin and brought him down, in the process handling the ball - 2 major offences at once Red card!

What makes this all the more humorous is the fact that Mike Dean was able to make his silly mind up about Rooney's clear dive and award a pen - yet the idiot was 30 yards or more away...so from 10 yards you can't spot a foul and a handball, but from 30 you can see Rooney dive and still award a pen. If there ever was any scenario to prove Man United are cheating bastards this is it!
