It was outside the area, but it was also blatant cheating. I have no problem with the penalty award. Indeed Tommy Smith would never get away with a comment like that these days!
@alanabit As a Liverpool fan watching at the time I was annoyed at the decision but that was because I was 17 and biased. Phil thompson intended to stop a goal scoring opportunity by foul means so I don't think there is a moral problem with giving a penalty.
@starboylance You don't get it, do you? It was on the edge of the area, eadily mistaken for inside. More importantly, he deliberately tried to stop a goal scoring opportunity by unfair means and was rightly punished for it.. Well, not completely rightly, becaus he should have ben sent off. If a Liverpol fan can admit this, wh can't you?
anyone who doesn't like tommy smith as a footballer and as a liverpool fan needs to take a look at themselves

dubious penalty fair enough, but it would have to be a straight red for a professional foul surely ?
