and that should have been a penalty
Gerrard was going for the ball, Gallas was too late
FWIW though, it's about time Arsenal got a fair suck of the sav regarding big game decisions
normally we get the raw end of the deal
as for prior form, surely the Ref has too take it as the play unfolds. We can't have well it's Rooney ( or whoever) so no penalty.
which is why , now for than ever, we need video citing post match to punish flagrant acts of unsportsmanlike charlatanism.
