Unjust and Unfair Defeat

QPR played well again today for the third match on the trot, only today they were robbed by a bad refereeing decision. Those who read my blog regularly will know that I do not blame refs for defeats lightly, if ever. Usually I am more than ready to admit we had lost to the better team etc. However today we were defeated by a referee's mistake when he gave a penalty that was neither a penalty in Chelsea or China. When FIFA finally allows appeals against such decisions with a 5th referee watching a replay then such unfair decisions will be eliminated from football. As it was QPR, who had played well to equalise away from home, were condemned to defeat after a perfectly normal challenge for the ball. I, and the Brazilian commentators, have no doubt that this was what happened.
