There was minimal contact (arm across his chest) until Hunt started to fall, at which point his heel was clipped. Like I said, I think the standard of refereeing today was total pish and I feel sorry for United not getting the "offside" goal
but that was
not a penalty. If Hunt was not a cheating wee bastard, if he had stayed on his feet rather than looking for a penalty, he would have got it less than 2 seconds later as Weir
would have fouled him. Even then, I personally think that the penalty wasn't given because Hunt went down too easily.
And yes, I'm sure you think I am being biased but that isn't the case. I had my head in my hands until I saw the replay.
