Referee Web yesterday gave a yellow card

[Assasin]

on Manu penalty kick to Gomes. Based on the argument by many on the forum it should have been a straight red if you compare it to that of Torres/Friedel sittuation.

1st the ref was wrong , because Gomes attempted to play the ball and got the ball , giving a yellow was trying to gloss over a terrible mistake on the refs part.

Furious Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp confronted referee Howard Webb in the Old Trafford tunnel after his 'terrible mistake' helped Manchester United overturn a 2-0 half-time deficit to beat Spurs 5-2 and stay three points clear at the top.
Even United manager Sir Alex Ferguson conceded his side had a lucky break when Webb controversially ruled that Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes had tripped Michael Carrick. TV replays showed he had tipped the ball away first.
Cristiano Ronaldo converted the spot-kick to spark an incredible spell of five United goals in 22 minutes.

Turning point: Carrick falls as goalkeeper Gomes gets a hand to the ball

Redknapp and his equally angry assistant, Joe Jordan, approached Webb in the tunnel after the game and Redknapp then gave the official a piece of his mind in the referee's room.
Redknapp said: 'It was a terrible mistake by the referee. I told him he had made a big mistake. All he would say was "If I did, I am sorry".
'Even the United players on the pitch were telling our lads they couldn't believe it had been given.

'The ball went at right angles. How would that have happened if our keeper had not got a full hand on it?'
The 57th-minute incident inspired misfiring United to a handsome victory and Redknapp said: 'It changed the face of this game. We were 2-0 ahead and I couldn't see them getting back into it without a bit of help from the referee. I think you have to use technology now.
'You have the fourth official concentrating on petty things like making sure managers don't step out of the technical area. Why can't they view a screen and help the ref?'
Liverpool had drawn level with United earlier in the day by beating Hull City 3-1 but United's win means they now only need 10 points from five games to guarantee their third consecutive title.
'If we had beaten United, it would have been game on for the title but I can't see them slipping now,' said Redknapp.
Ferguson, who feels his side have been on the wrong end of penalty decisions in the last two FA Cup campaigns - against Redknapp's Portsmouth and Everton in last week's semi-final - admitted his side were lucky.
'Football is a funny game and this time we got a break,' he said. 'We needed to get a goal early in the second half because before then we were too slow and casual. We got it and then we were confident.'
Meanwhile, Redknapp has discovered that centre-back Michael Dawson, carried off in last week's win over Newcastle at White Hart Lane, suffered a partially torn ankle ligament and will be out for at least three weeks.

I am just curious how you could compare the two ? Nothing about them is similar in anyway.

1)Friedel didnt attempt to play the ball

2)Friedel didnt get the ball

3) Friedel obstructed the man .

Whether intentional or not if it happens in the 6 yard box with nothing between the goal keeper and the attacker and the ball isnt played its going to be a straight red.

Did the ref get it wrong with the freekick that led to Liverpool's opening goal? Address that first.

[Sir X]

Boss stick to the issue nuh man , it nuh dat personal a ball we a talk about as it pertains to the rules of the game.

Sass, the outcome is consistent with the Liverpool game.

[Sir X]

Liverpool deh pan yuh mind like Fergie ?

[Lazie]

Liverpool deh pan yuh mind like Fergie ?

Riena wasn't redcarded for the foul on Park, thats the reason for mentioning your pathetic side.

[Assasin]

that is not the point Lazie. The point for me is the red card offense as what is and what is not.

You can't send goalie off for plainly trying to win the ball without any malicous intent.
