Megson rages at dodgy pen:
Bolton boss Gary Megson has blasted the "nonsense'' penalty decision that cost his side the chance of a point or 3 at Manchester United this afternoon. Ronaldo scored the penalty, paving the way for a 2-0 win and an unhappy Megson.
"It was a nonsense decision,'' argued Megson.

"When Rob Styles blew the whistle I thought he was going to book Ronaldo for diving. He did not seem to be sure what he was going to give.

"My thoughts on the tackle were the same as everyone else's in the stadium apart from one man. When the referee sees it again, he will have the same opinion too. It really sticks in the throat.''

It is not the first time Styles has attracted criticism for a debatable penalty decision.

"I don't want him to ring me up,'' added Megson.

"I would have more respect for him if he just holds his hands up and says he was wrong. "If he tried to justify that it will be incredible.

"I don't know if we would have gone on to get something out of the game but we certainly would not have gone 4-4-2 and we would not have made changes to try and score.''

Even Ferguson accepted Styles had got it wrong, although as the official has previously angered the United boss with his decision-making, he does not feel much sympathy.

"I was surprised because it looked as though their lad got a foot on the ball,'' said Ferguson.

"But Rob Styles turned us down four or five times last year so maybe it is payback time. But he still owes us another four.''

Wayne Rooney's another dubious finish 11 minutes from time doubled United's lead, the England striker's first goal of the season a perfect response to being left out of Ferguson's starting line-up.

That is of little consequence to Megson though, having seen an hour's worth of honest endeavour get no reward.

"I want to see the right decisions made,'' said Megson, whose side had the best chance up to that point when Fabrice Muamba fired wide from an excellent position.

"If TV replays take too long then we won't do them but from looking at other sports, TV can do these things.

"They talk about dropping the referee but what does that solve? It is just a symbolic gesture.

"Everybody knows what happened. Jlloyd Samuel won the ball. It is astonishing.''

Yesterday Ronny tripped over Samuel's leg after he had gotten the ball... Ref was blind to award the penalty but to be fair to Ronny he did not dive inside the box.

You can tell that Fergie did not celebrate after ronny scored the penalty because he knows it was given in error as well.

even United players never 'beg' the ref it is a pen.

we have be robbed a few pen this season, maybe luck came back and decide to help us when the game could have ended 0-0.

Riley and Styles both competing for most controversial referee this season... Cahill's challenge was not a red card lor... At most considered yellow card... And Styles gave a penalty for a clean challenge.... Even as a Man U fan i find that it should not have been a penalty

he said he changed the whole game of football right? claiming that he, as a winger, can score more than a striker.

oh yea, he certainly left out the consistent diving and play acting involved ever since his introduction to bpl that also changed the game of football.

i agree his performance ought to be recognised. but i don't feel right for a recipient of such award to be a constant cheap thriller.

as Eddie Guerrero would say: 'Cheat to Win!'

nah, just joking....

honestly, at least for me, my support for Man U stems from the hard work done by the previous generations of players like Cantona, Sharpe, Schmeichel, Bruce and Pallister and many more, which ensured MU's dominance in the mid-90s. Just because of Ronaldo's diving, we wouldn't stop supporting Man U. Much like how ppl support Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, the support is FOREVER, haha!
