Geoff65 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 They said on skysports that the newspapers are wrong in their claims that it was mucked up - they say the claims by the newspapers are due to an optical illusion but the draw was not mucked up,.

WhistleHappy Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ....tabloid rubbish, & a few cockeyed Villa fans IMO, watch the clip a couple of times & you can see the ManU ball was no24.(or can you?... duh duh duh! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Looked like a 5 to me. And that guy looked iffy when he called out Boros name. Like he covered it up as he knew he made a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3012jack Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Very difficult job pulling out balls and reading numbers, Sammy Nelson looks ever so so guilty, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The first ball definitely looked like 25 to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfunkle Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 just watched the clip and we should definitely have had united! what a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartolona Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Looks like they want Man U to get through. Would not be happy if i was a Boro fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Either way, surely the way it's drawn needs looking at. The balls are very difficult to read and are placed in a tray where nobody but the person who reads it out can see it.There's surely an argument for using a lottery style machine to eradicate any suspicion or doubt in future.

Geoff65 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 on sky sports they zoom in to the ball and you can clearly see the number 24 and they zoom in again on the number 25 - it wasnt a muck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si_aston Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 BBC had one of their editors do a blog on all this... Can't be arsed to find the link but it's one of the sports editors' blogs, check out the football page on the website, should be there somewhere. Like some people have said it was just a trick of the light, nothing sinister or underhand at all, they got read out properly.Edit: HERE is the article.

Guest DanC Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Simple way to sort this out, 2 balls in a hat. Boro and Man U. And whoever comes out first plays Villa and whoever comes out 2nd plays us. Didn't the FA make a c**k up last season as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say its a big wind up, and the papers have fallen for it hook line and sinkerI think the bloke made a mistake and thats why he's covered up the ball when it was ball 24!We should all send emails to the FA. So we can play the scum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
