Agreed. Brown didn't touch the ball at all. Mancini flicked the ball and brown made contact with Mancini's foot. It showed you from where the ref was standing too though and from that angle it looked as if Brown made good contact with the ball so don't know how the ref could give

Agreed, that was the opinion of TV pundits (Peter Beagrie) on 'Your On Sky Sports' after the game had finished. They believed the ref could only get the decision right IF he had the view of the camera from the back of the goal line. They say the ref was lucky, and it WAS a borderline penalty decision, although both Brown and SAF maintain that Brown made contact with the ball.

make that three including me.. i was sober when i witnessed it on the screen..
brown did clear the ball well.. it's mancini's trying to twist his legs somewhere around brown's boots..

No he didn't. He didn't touch the ball. United fans are quick to snap at Liverpool fans that say that was a penalty on Tuesday, when really, both sets of fans are as clued up and biased as the other

i thought i didn't say anything about the penalty for Liverpool.. did i?.. -.-?

and for this case.. it wasn't a pk indeed.. and it's something fair.. not biased.. T.T

Sir Alex says Brown got the ball. Are you suggesting he is biased in his opinion. Shame on you Or maybe he is just clueless

I'm starting to like Man Utd, you know why? Because before the first leg started, I stuck £275 on Man Utd to knock out Roma at odds of 4/11, hence get back £375 - £100 profit luvvly jubbly

That was my first ever bet in a bookie shop, but for me it was a no brainer. Man Utd are better than Roma, were playing the second leg at home, were in excellent form, whilst Roma had their star player missing...United held all the aces. I couldn't lose!

Anyway, this game was pretty dead but I think it was a penalty - it appears that Brown got Mancini's boot which then kicked the ball. Hargreaves was amazing - crosses were Beckham-esque.

Well done mate. Bet you were sweating a lil bit when you saw the United team SAF sent out, and in particular, when the debatable pen was awarded.

Cheers Rooni!

Yeah I was going ape sh!t when the ref pointed to the spot - it was like he knew I put some money on the game so he did his best to fcuk it up for me!

Even if they did score, I'd have still had confidence of Utd going through; Fergie would have just put on Rooney and Ronaldo and closed the game out.
