Gomez is to be blamed. The ref never blew his whistle or stop play, did he?

Completely agree. Gomes screwed up and has to take 100% of the blame. I think that it was unsporting and maybe opportunistic of Nani, but you have to consider who he plays for... (I can't help myself )
X DESCRIBES HIMSELF - Stop masquerading as if you have the clubs interest at heart, you are a fraud, always was and always will be in any and every thing that you present...
Just a question - do you think if the tables were turned that the ref would have awarded Spurs that goal at OT? I believe this is the same ref that didn't award Pedro Mendez's goal that was a good yard inside Roy Carroll's goalmouth a few years ago. As Arsenio used to say - it's one of those things that make you go...hmmmmmmmmmm....still, Gomes was a fool to let that happen to him.

Unsporting? Last I checked he turned to the ref who said play on.

In Gomes' defense - In such a caldron, even as a ref you do not clearly hear anything...you see mouths working and you sometimes hear sounds that appear to come from particularly players...one thing you aways hear is the sound of the 'new whistle'.
Some years before I retired as ref the type whistle used was changed to a type that had distinctive sound. That distinctive sound rises above the din.
I am thinking, Gomes heard that sound. I would go so far as to state that it appeared that he (obviously?) heard a whistle. That must have been the reason why he released the ball. No 'keeper of his standing puts a ball down and retreats from it to take a kick with opposing players around unless he is 'sure' the ball is dead. Again, I am thinking that he heard something that gave him comfort in believing the ball was dead.
That said based on the position of the ref and the position of his assistant when the tackle preceding Nani's hugging-up of the ball was made and on Nani's hugging-up of the ball ...I am amazed by the ref's actions. I am thinking there is just no way they both could have missed Nani's sliding along with ground the ball in his grasp. Even today...it appears to me amazing action by the officials.
What is it that had that prolonged discussion on? Nani had accidentally handled the ball for the length of time he did his 'hugging' act? Bwoy?
