Hate Man Utd

Ben Foster admitted using an Ipod just prior to the penalty shoot out in the Carling Cup final with Spurs to research previous penalty strategies. OK the Manc lovers will point out it is research based on information available in the public domain. Yes it is, but being allowed access during the match, surely this is wrong or unsporting at least. Where will it stop? I assume Man Utd would object if the opposition delayed every free kick while the team aligned their wall based on a review of the last 5 Ronaldo free kicks taken in a certain area of the pitch.

 No action will be taken by the FA

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll told the Daily Mail on Monday that using iPod technology;

 “had the potential to exploit a loophole in the laws which should be referred to FIFA”.

Hands up if you think this is cheating?
