This 'look at colour of boots' theory may sound far-fetched and I agree in a sea of legs and feet this IS daft, but when there is nothing blocking your view I think u shud be able to see clearly that Carricks boot did not touch the ball..
Very poor decision, and if that sort of decision go's against us tomorrow (ala Boxing Day) we wud be as annoyed as City fans are now.

Eh, what about those poor fulham fans who travelled all that way only to see their team robbed.
