Brilliant.

Not a great game for the neutrals, but I loved every second.

Just saw the highlights of the game. No comments about the Man U goal that wasn't ruled a goal? Didn't think a defender could push a GK into the goal.

that must've been a short highlight segment. Anyway, it wasn't a goal, evevn with Giggsys boot in cech's face, it didn't fully cross teh line, so it can't be ruled a goal

From one angle (not the main angle, but the view from the other side), it looked like it did go fully over the line when Cech pulled the ball into his body.

It only crossed the line after giggs ran into cech and pushed his body back, that can't be ruled a goal. You can see the replay here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRyT3OwYXzk around the 2:25 mark.

The ball was clearly over the line and the keeper was clearly fouled

[ThaSaltCracka]

yeah I heard the announcers say that was either NOT a goal or it "was" one but only because Giggs fouled him. So basically the proper call would have been free kick to Chelsea.
