Spurs Manager Jacques Santini Questions The Referee's Half Time Behaviour
Tottenham FC Manager Jacques Santini says he is unsure of why the referee (Peter Walton) was in the Man Utd dressing room at half time during Spurs 1-0 home defeat to Man Utd.
According to Mr Santini, the ref was laughing and joking with the Man Utd, even though the ref had just given Man Utd a rather dubious penalty for a foul on O'shea. To be honest the foul did'nt look much like a foul to me as 2 players were challenging for the ball and had a hold of each other.
Most interesting is Ruud Van Nistelroy denies the referee was in their dressing room at half time atall, to his knowledge.Anyway, Jacques Santini will probably get fined for his comments. Funnily enough it is NOT THE Spurs Manager Santini who has brought the game into disrepute by begging the "bias" question.
It is indeed the referee who leaves himself wide open to the accusation of "bias or favouritism" if he is stupid enough to mill around 1 dressing room being mr joviality, but not in the other.The Spurs Blog have not picked up on the story yet but they will right?
The Spurs Manager openly questioning the referee's integrity is certainly Spurs News. Funny thing is I cannot find any trace of it on the internet as yet. I think this one will run and run actually ~ we shall see.
