Exactly, I thought it was a penalty first time too.
United don't get players sent off at home, simple as. Like last season when Chelsea went their at the end of the season and had Scholes been rightfully sent off (was booked for diving) after fouling Lampard from behind, then he would have missed the final. And there is no doubt that it was a bookable offense.
When NEwcastle played their and someone (G Neville possibly) passed it back to Howard Shearer nipped in in front and got the ball, Howard kept swinging and swiped Shearer's legs by accident. Had Shearer dived he should have been booked, had Shearer not dived then it should have been a penalty, instead neither was awarded.
I would give other examples if I could remember them, but I'd like to see the stats on things like United players sent off at OT, penalties awarded to ManYoo and penalties awarded to opposition.
