BIRMINGHAM CITY v MANCHESTER CITY - Doing it with Styles
Saturday 29 March 2008
It’s the end of March, each team has played 32 games and only two points separate positions 13 to 19 in the Right Result table. With that in mind, it’s probably just as well that ref Rob Styles’ decision - described by the esteemed Match of the Day pundit Mark Lawrenson as “the worst penalty I’ve ever seen given” - changed the scoreline rather than the result at St Andrews’. The coming together of Birmingham City’s Gary McSheffrey and Manchester City’s Sun Jihai appeared to be nothing more than a good old fashioned shoulder charge. If anything, it was the Blues forward who was the aggressor. To irk the Manchester camp further (even Sven was getting a tad peeved), McSheffrey got up, dusted himself down and clinically despatched the spot-kick.
The Right Result is a 2-1 win for Birmingham City.
