Great to see how long Alex Ferguson's participation in the Respect the Referee campaign lasted. Until his team lost a match.
I was obviously pleased to see Chelsea beat United but the officials had cracking matches and, I believe, got all the major decisions right. Carrick deliberately handled the ball in the area and the assistant gave the penalty decision.
Ronaldo and Ballack wrestled with each other in the area. Ballack was indeed blocking Ronaldo but the Portuguese striker was also looking for the decision, wrapping his arms around the German.
Carrick dived looking for a penalty and could have been booked for simulation.
But it was a great game, especially for a Chelsea fan/
