A travesty

The Sevilla vs. Spurs game started well last night - real end to end stuff, with Spurs stamping their authority on the tie with a goal in the second minute. Then came the extremely controversial penalty for Sevilla - look at the picture, you can clearly see Robbo got both hands on the ball therefore it was an excellent save:

NOT a penalty


After he'd awarded this, the ref went on to make a series of dubious freekick awards to the Spanish team - one of these (IMHO) was for the comedy dive the player did...

In the second half, when Berbatov got sandwiched between two defenders while trying to head the ball he was held down by both of them, and guess what? yup, the ref gave a freekick to Sevilla...

Oh well, we got an away goal and the return leg at The Lane is next week - COYS!
