[simoid]

Some sort of publicity stunt?

He'd have a better claim with the linesman taking a bribe but probably realised that's what he did.

There were 4 players offside when the cross came in, never mind the actual goal. I just think that's what happens with the home crowd roaring and stuff. And it's not like their second wasn't offside also.

Sour grapes that shouldn't take away attention from a really good game of football. Malaga's manager responded with much more shall we say 'experience'.

Yeah, I agree. Was it an interesting insight into the owner's views though?

Does this Arab Royal think the authorities are out to get Malaga because their owners are from the Middle East?

Probably an unwise thing to say, bearing in mind the amount of Qatari/Saudi/UAE money floating around Europe these days and the further future involvement of world football in the Middle East.

Plus the fact, we've got enough real problems with racist without some slack-jawed owner crying foul when team gets beat.

Spanish TV analysis last night all went on for hours about how it was offside and how cheated Malaga were
