Your impossible to argue with, so I cba. I'll leave by saying I have done my level 2 badges and referee under 15's football on a Sunday, and I know for a fact that, everything in that situation was wrong. When a player falls over and handles the ball, it is either because it has been a foul against him, or he got it wrong and he has handled the ball. The latter is the case. Gomes cannot play advantage with Nani lying on the floor behind him, so he took the foul. He has every right to take the foul, as no immediate advantage was present. All the Tottenham players saw it this way as they walked away expecting Gomes to take his free-kick. Howler of a decision, argue all you want, I will leave it at that.
Spurs weren't complaining when they did this..
YouTube - Cheeky goal
Also, I realise that there was no handball.. just saying![]()

I dont think it matters in the end because Spurs were never going to score....
the flag was up for deliberate hand ball ..Ref plays advantage... gomes sees flag up goes to take free kick nani nips in and puts the ball in the back of the net..
My "crappy Under 15" matches I referee are keeping youngsters of the street to do something constructive and healthy with themselves. So me helping my community (free of charge) ends up with know-it-all dickwads like you bad mouthing that. Whether he has qualifications or not, we all use the same ****** rule book. And if your honestly gonna sit here and stand by Mark Clattenburg just have a little look at this: http://clattenburg.epetitions.net/signatures.php?petition_id=206And Clattenburg has done his Pro European Ref badge, that means he is in a better stead then your crappy u15 matches you try to ref in.
The foul was never given, So there is no advantage anyway. Gomes made a error, get over it.
Me impossible to argue with? Thats because your speaking ****.
i dont think clattenberg saw the handball, hence no freekick - he seemed to just indicate that it was no penalty, play on... Gomes than took law into his own hands, giving himself a freekick 10-12 yards forward of the incident and got mugged... Gomes = goon

Here's another story which a lot of you will dismiss but it is 100% true. An older friend of my parents who I have known since very young is the person who recommended doing my refereeing badges, as he is know reffing Blue Square South matches, went to a conference for Ref's a year or so back, which had Mr Graeme Poll as the lead speaker, and he held a Q&A session at the end, where my friend put his hand up and said "Can I ask you a question about Mark Clattenburg?" to watch Graeme Poll immediately replied, "Are you an Evertonian?". This conference was in Aldershot, so hardly a place roaming with Evertonians, so how did he know immediately of this?? Anyway my friend replied "Yes, I am." and Poll said "Come and find me after and I'll speak to you then."
So Nick(my friend) did just this and Poll's reply was "There's a lot of conspiracy surrounding this, and the murmurings around the referee's association is that something dodgy went on that day, and that he did get paid off, and a lot of us do not believe he should be allowed to referee another game."
So your highness Scott, Pro European Ref badge means ****-all when you've got no integrity, and next time you try bad mouthing my youth work come and say it to my face.
