Sporting decisions that went in favour of your team?

    I watched two matches yesterday, the rugby against Argentina and a local Gaa match. Talked to a bloke about the rugby and he was livid that the Argentina prop wasn't sent off, cost us a place in the semi finals, he said (didn't mention that Sean O'Brien should have been sent off against France, which would have meant us being walloped by the Kiwis) Talked to supporters from each of the opposing teams in the Gaa match. Each could list off a litany of decisions which went against their team. I suppose we all remember decisions that went against our teams, the Thierry Henri handball, Neil Back's transgression against Munster, controversial decisions against our boxers etc. But we tend to forget about decisions which went in favour of our team eg Shay Given should have been sent off and Holland given a penalty in a world cup qualifier. Are you someone who thinks decisions only go against your team or can you remember obvious occasions when your team benefitted from incorrect decisions in their favour?

    Not a team, but Cathal Pendred has won many fights by getting punched more than his opponent

    At the time I'm outraged, but in reality, they all even out and half the stuff I'm outraged about is probably not even that bad a decision.
