I'm surprised that performance hasn't drawn more comments on here if folk saw it. A good friend of mine, not a United supporter by any stretch of the imagination, called it disgraceful. Mind you, he wasn't convinced by the penalty award either although I did point out the contact seemed to do some damage to Fernandes left eye.
Do I gather from TTFL's post above that Ekberg wasn't too impressive at the Emirates?
While I accept there are some excellent European referees such as Cakir, Kuipers and Skomina, and that last night may not have been representative of Dias's ability, it does make me wonder whether at times we are a bit hard on our PL referees.
