He started off saying that he had won the game, then said he couldn't remember anymore then said it didn't matter anyway because Igor had sat down.<br /><br />Hardly sportsmanlike. There's a far difference between Roger Federer constantly challenging balls that are far out purely to disrupt his opponent and blatant attempts to defraud the officials. Its hardly surprising Igor wanted the umpire to check almost every other ball that Robredo pointed out that he felt was marginal. <br /><br />CurlySimon Riddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545857580996075503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973421074113737275.post-1895171327165253072009-04-24T04:37:00.000+01:002009-04-24T04:37:00.000+01:00Back in the 60s, Palace had a goal awarded to them...Back in the 60s, Palace had a goal awarded to them even though the ball had hit the side-netting. (Palace shots often do...) The other team of course protested, and finally the ref asked Steve Kember if it was a goal, and to his credit, he said no. I would hope that had the referee asked the Reading players the same, they would have done the same. Even if it were a cup final, surely nobody wants to win by cheating. Well, except Maradonna of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
