Abstract
- ROB STYLES, who awarded the season's daftest penalty at Birmingham on Saturday, has been left off the Barclays Premier League list for this weekend's games. The Hampshire official baffled players on both sides by pointing to the spot when Manchester City's Sun Jihai went shoulder to shoulder with Gary McSheffrey. BBC Match Of The Day pundit Mark Lawrenson described the incident as 'the worst penalty decision I have seen in my life'. Sun said yesterday: 'I turned around and chased the ball with McSheffrey, and it was in front of me. 'He went for the ball and tried to push me, but I just used my shoulder for a 50-50. When I heard the whistle I thought he was diving maybe, but the referee pointed to the spot. 'I could not believe it. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
