Did Atkinson see it and bottle it? We will never know
Atkinson saw it, he was close to the play. It was handball , no doubt about it. As for getting the foot to the ball, so what ?
He had his arm out to stop the ball and/ or player getting past him.
Don't understand why peol can't see that. He had his arm there in case the ball went there. It did, but it hit his foot first. It's still deliberate.
oh fuck me, beefy reckons the game was fixed (rather than just a poor homer referee - like that's a first) and now ted reckons reina was thinking through after his first successful tackle. i ask again - where should someone's arms be in a slide tackle - other than EXACTLY where his were???
Wasn't it fixed? Do you honestly still believe that these people don't get together to make sure the Premier League stays top of the shop?
I agree though, yoy cannot tell from watching the game ;-)
