Porto's second goal last night should never have been allowed to stand. Arsene Wenger was entirely right in his complaint to the 4th official, & then to the referee himself, that time must in such circumstances be allowed for the defence to organise, & the free-kick cannot be taken just like that with no signal or preparation time: especially in that position 7 yards away from the goal. What has happened to the fine & valuable old principle of "Play to the whistle"?

That man Hansson has now twice shown himself to be a hopeless referee ~~ he is the one who allowed the goal to stand after Henry's blatant handball recently. I am generally against such measures, but I think the time is fast approaching when managers/coaches should agree worldwide to boycott any match where he is designated to officiate.
