Bolton had 2 complete stone wall penalties .. how they can be missed is ridiculous. Clearly officials bottled decisions. How can you miss that! :twisted:

Some will no doubt allude to some sort of conspiracy theory what with Chelsea FA Cup semi final against Villa where Villa should have had a penalty and Terry sent off.

The advantage of TV replays means that nothing in this game goes unnoticed any more whereas, there and then at the time of the match, the officials have just the 2 views. Maybe they didn't see it? I don't know.

Chelsea just seem to be getting that massive bit of luck at the right time of the season.

Why are penalties now stone wall and not cast iron?

Because cast iron holds too many awkward connotations from football's working class, industrial past. Stone walls paint a far more idyllic picture of social mobility and the hope that we all will one day own a detached house, with a range rover in Sevenoaks, have a full sky subscription and a nice rural 'style' stone wall around our property to keep riff-raff away while we enjoy listening to morons talk about Chelsea on our massive tellys in the comfort of our own twitty homes.
