OK it's been established within the rules we don't have a leg to stand & i take that point on board, but there was a lot more to it than that.
The first point the Dermot raised was about the advantage Clattenburg (Allegedly) gave us,,,,,,,,,,, as we so clearly didn't get any advantage he should have blown up & pulled the play back & given us the free-kick. Just as Ref's do all the time for free-kicks in attacking area's
Secondly he was obviously told by the assistant ref about the handball so he had another out because he can reverse a decision after giving it as long as the game hasn't been restarted.
So how come the goal was given this is a top English ref we're lead to believe but he made such a wrong call with both those outs available to him. WHY? Simple he didn't have the bottle to do any thing at OT in front of Old Red Nose.
The only thing Mr Gallagher defended Clattenburg on was the Rio incident. He said he got rid of the Spurs players & was completely concentrating on what his fellow official was saying because it was a big call, he said, he may not have even realised he was there. Flimsy i reckon but i can see where he's coming from.
So the up shot is while within the rules of the game the goal was legitimate, giving it was certainly an injustice to us!
