[QUOTE="MichaelBoard, post: 365653, member: 41244"] St Helens, I used this game as an example but that just happened to be the game that was on on the day, I could of used any recent game that Giggs has played in to make my point that he is still top class. Yes Kelly dealt with him reasonably well but he couldn't completely contain him and it wasn't only Kelly who had to deal with him as a few tiems Giggs made a few little darting runs into the middle troubling other players and showing that even at the age that he is that he has still got it and can still compete at the highest level. Although its slightly irrelevant in the game at first glance I thought that Steven Gerrard's tackle on Carrick was a yellow/could've been red but on seeing ity again I can understand Howard Webb's decision and it deserved a red because at the end of his day he totally came off his feet. As for the penalty it probably wasn't a penalty, but there are arguments that it definitely was and to be honest it could've went either way. Penalty decisions tend to balance themselves out and I'm not sure how many people noticed but there was a penalty that should've been awarded later on but wasn't. It was when Manchester United had about 3/4 shots in the box then the ball rebounded to Giggs who made a little run into the box and dummied then I think it was Jonjo Shelvey (I may be wrong though) who took his leg and for me that was a penalty, far clearer than the Berbatov one. By the way I'm not a Manchester United fan either nor a Liverpool fan, I support Tottenham so thats how I honestly saw it. [/QUOTE]
