Another couple of decisions gone the way of the bigger team today.

If the decisions were the other way round, I'm sure the 1st goal would have been chalked off, and the defender would have seen a red for that Gibbs challenge!

Gibbs' challenge is a red all day long. Clattenburg got most other things right though.

So just the 2 main BIG decisions wrong then?

And by all other decisions right you mean irrelevant things like throw ins and corners or something else?

If you mean the first goal, it didn't look deliberate to me.

Surely the tactics have to be different when Sanchez is playing up front to when Giroud is playing there?

As for Hull, does the straight red mean that Clucas misses the games against Us, Leicester and Swansea? That's a massive loss if he does.
Add to that the injuries of Hernandez and Dawson and they"ll do well to keep their form going.

Come on Rotherham, Burton, Bristol C, Everton, Stoke, Southampton and finally Man Utd ( muttered under the breath )

Just a one match ban for deliberate handball.

His hand wasn't down by his side, nor protecting his face.

If a defender had an arm that high and away from his body and it hit it, then a pen would have been awarded.

Clattenburg has admitted it shouldn't have stood and he made a mistake..

Youd have thought so. Be interesting what they do against Bayern. I think we all already know hoe that will turn out already.

I don't think he has written it down to be honest, but I watched the game, and the sky team informed Wenger of it during the post match interview.

I don't want an apology or anything. Be like Mark, admit your wrong. We all make mistakes.

The Sky team? Were they there? Who knows what he's said? He may have expressed sympathy with them at the unfortunate nature of the goal but handball has to be deliberate, i didn't think it was, the linesman didn't and most pundits I've heard since didn't, including Howard Webb.
