Spurs fans to contest greatest injustice in history of football?

Topspur noticed this little cracker lol from stv.tv

Furious Tottenham Hotspurs fans are forming-up to march on the DW Stadium in Wigan to deliver their demands for a replay in light of the shocking handball which gifted Austrian midfielder Paul Scharner a goal in the hard-fought 9-1 win on Sunday.

Scharner’s blatant handball in the lead-up to his goal for Wigan against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday was even more obvious than Thierry Henry’s “Hand of Gaul” against Ireland.

The goal came at a crucial point in the match, with Spurs defending a narrow 3-0 lead at home. Wigan’s subsequent performance clearly showed that Scharner’s strike had given them the confidence and self- belief to keep the Spurs score in single figures.

The Scoreboard Says It All

With the English Premier League at its most open in years, Spurs are said to be gutted that the record now shows they did not keep a clean sheet.

In the aftermatch of the Ireland scandal, Niall Quinn said the decision in France was the biggest injustice in the history of sport. The timing of Scharner’s offence will surely mean it is seen as the worst event in the history of everything.

Scharner is expected to admit his guilt as soon as the governing body has confirmed there is absolutely no chance of the match being replayed.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is expected to call again for video evidence to be used. After the Ireland match he said: “We’ve put a man on the moon and we can’t see if the ball has hit a hand.” He may now be preparing to lobby the Premier League to appoint NASA scientists to work on a solution.

The London club may need to offer Robbie Keane counselling after the Republic of Ireland international was forced to witness his second injustice at the hands of officialdom in the space of five days. The striker was named on the bench for his club’s game at the weekend after the controversy and disappointment of the match in Paris and saw a repeat of Wednesday’s horrific decision.

The controversial goal has had implications far beyond the clubs involved. Roy Keane is said to be physically flagellating himself into a frenzy ahead of a press conference where he will criticise Spurs overall performance, tell them to “get over it” and offer a square-go to London.

Gordon Brown is also expected to weigh into the debate, calling for the rules to be changed immediately. Once the rules have been amended, the Prime Minister will then allow them to be applied retroactively, leading to a planned replay of every football match ever played.

Unofficial referee’s watchdog Sir Alex Ferguson ignored the incident but commented that Spur’s final and decisive goal coming in the fourth minute of added time showed that they were already showing all the hallmarks of a ‘Big Four’ club.
