Elano penalty crushes Whites

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.

Have your say:
