I don’t think anyone’s surprised that we’ve been knocked out of the Carling Cup in just the 4th round (2nd round for us). I didn’t go, and I don’t think I missed much! We were beaten in the 86th minute by an Elano penalty, after Michalik handled in the box.
You have got to be 100% certain if you are going to give a penalty at that stage of the game. I cannot see how he could even be 50% sure.
It was not clear cut. It was a bit of a nonsensical decision in such an important game.
But the players deserve great credit for keeping going.

Sorry about the highlights - my recorder cut off a couple of minutes early, and that couple of minutes happened to include the Wanderers match. I’ll try and get some off YouTube or something in the next few days.
