Referee Michael Oliver was at the heart of several controversial moments as Leicester were made to wait for the Premier League title by a 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Super Sunday. Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher joined Sky Sports News HQ on Monday morning to review the incidents in his regular Ref Watch feature.Should Wayne Rooney have been sent off? Should Marouane Fellaini and Robert Huth get retrospective bans? And what about those penalty shouts? Read on for the expert verdict... INCIDENT: Neither Robert Huth nor Marouane Fellaini are booked for their respective fouls on one another, including hair pulling and elbowing. SCENARIO: Huth appears to pull the hair of Manchester Uniteds Fellaini as a corner is played in, before the latter aims an elbow towards the Leicester defender twice. Leicester defender Robert Huth appears to pull the hair of Marouane Fellaini during the game at Old Trafford GALLAGHERS VIEW: Retrospective FA action for both players.GALLAGHER SAYS: When you watch the incident, theres no doubt that Robert Huth pulls Fellainis hair and he subsequently elbows him. The easiest one to talk about is the first one because its clearly an act of violent conduct and I dont think theres any doubt that the FA will charge him or ban him. Man Utd-Leicester talking points Refereeing decisions, Riyad Mahrez and Wayne Rooney feature in our Old Trafford talking points. I didnt spot it until it was replayed later in the game so bearing in mind were watching the same game and Im sat in the luxury of my seat at home, I can understand why a referee didnt see it.The Huth incident is interesting as much as earlier in the season when two Morecambe players did a similar thing to Marcus Bean at Wycombe. They were subsequently charged for the same offence that Huth committed, they both admitted the offence and served a three match ban each so there is a precedence there. Marouane Fellaini elbows Robert Huth for the first time before doing so again seconds later The FA can charge which they have the right to do, especially with the Fellaini one because there was an elbow and the first one because of what happened earlier in the season. Theyve already done it so I cant see why they wouldnt follow their procedure.INCIDENT: Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater is sent off for a second yellow card after a tackle on Memphis Depay.SCENARIO: Drinkwater is chasing down Depay on the left-hand side and pulls him back before the Manchester United winger goes down in the box, although is not awarded a penalty. The Leicester player is then shown a second yellow card for the foul, adding to his earlier booking for a challenge on Marcus Rashford. Gallagher says Manchester United should have had a penalty as both of Depays feet were on the line and therefore inside the box GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decision for the second yellow, but there should have been a penalty.GALLAGHER SAYS: I think it was a foul when you pull a guy like that. The line belongs to the goalkeeper is the easy rule of thumb when deciding if it was inside or outside the box. The goalkeeper can handle the ball as far as the line, so the line is part of the penalty area. Depay has both feet on the line so he is in the penalty area and it should have been a penalty.That was the only decision of the match that I looked at and wondered why Michael didnt get that one. I say that because the angle we see before where hes running, all I can think is because of Drinkwaters body, hes not sure at what point his feet are planted when he gives the foul. Danny Drinkwater leaves the field after being sent off against Manchester United I think it should have been a second yellow. The rule is the referee has to be convinced that its in the penalty area and I dont think he was convinced of where his feet were at the time because I think hes watching the shirt pulling and he loses sight of where his feet are.I think thats where he makes his mistake. I can understand that because hes watching his arms and theyre up, but his feet are on the line and unfortunately when he blows his whistle, the player moves and the situation has changed. The Super Sunday panel felt Leicester were fortunate not to have a penalty awarded against them at Old Trafford INCIDENT: Wayne Rooney brings down Demarai Gray while already on a yellow card.SCENARIO: Manchester United captain Rooney pulls back Gray as Leicester mounted an attack towards the opposing box. Rooney was already on a yellow card, but was not shown another for the foul.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Correct decisionGALLAGHER SAYS: The two sending off incidents are 100 per cent different because the offense is to stop an attack. Drinkwater stopped Depay going into the penalty area and attempting to cross the ball, but with Rooney, he pulled Demarai Gray back but he didnt stop the attack because Leicester continued to do so. Wayne Rooney felt Manchester United dominated the second half against Leicester and deserved to win There are a few ifs and maybes, but the fact was the player attacked with the ball so the referee is taught that he hasnt broken up an attack and he hasnt done that so the most he can say to Rooney is youre very lucky.At the point it occurred, if the referee had a whistle, he would have penalised Leicester because they were attacking into the penalty area and that was the dilemma for the referee. I would bet anybody, if the referee had a whistle and gave the free kick to Rooney, everybody would have been up in arms and said the wrong team had been punished. Leicester to watch MNF Leicesters players will watch Monday Night Football as Chelsea could hand the Foxes the title. This is the dilemma with this decision, is that whichever way the referee had jumped there, he was going to be wrong so the best situation really was to allow Leicester to continue because they had a chance of scoring.INCIDENT: Riyad Mahrez collides with Marcos Rojo in the box, with no Leicester penalty awarded. Gallagher says Leicester should have been awarded a penalty for this foul from Rojo on Mahrez SCENARIO: Mahrez collects a rebound from a David de Gea save, but he is tackled in the box by Rojo, going to ground but theres no indication of a penalty from the referee and play continues.GALLAGHERS VIEW: Wrong decisionGALLAGHER SAYS: I think it is a penalty. A number of people have said to me no but I think when you watch it, you can see. I can understand that Michael thinks it is a collision, but when you look at it closely, he brings his left leg up and brings him down and the referee just doesnt see it because it is the other side.

Discount NBA Jerseys .com) - Theres nothing better for a team than to send out the staff ace in the most important game of the season. Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys . -- Louisville backup quarterback Reggie Bonnafon ran for two touchdowns and passed for another and the No.TORONTO - In a play that sort of typified the evening and maybe even their season, Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry led a second-quarter fast break by delivering a one-handed bounce pass to Greivis Vasquez, who lateraled to the trailing Amir Johnson. Johnson, the beneficiary of a couple perfectly placed passes, capped off the sequence with a tomahawk slam that put Toronto on top by 20 points. Fouled on the landing, Johnsons momentum carried him into the first row, where he proudly pointed to the team name on his jersey and slapped hands with fans seated on the baseline. It was that kind of night. The proceedings began with the unveiling of a second Atlantic Division Championship banner and concluded with a well-deserved standing ovation just over two hours later. The Raptors - trotting off the court following a 110-100, wire-to-wire win over the Bucks - had set a new franchise record with their 48th victory of the season, while also going 15 games above the .500 mark for the first time in team history. "Its definitely great because we fed off our fans," said DeMar DeRozan, who stood centre court and counted down from three, as the banner was uncovered from the rafters atop Air Canada Centre, hanging adjacent to the one they had earned in 2006-07. The final home game of the season - Fanapolooza, as its been dubbed - had been a somber event for five years running. It was an opportunity for the Raptors loyal, albeit frustrated supporters to come bid farewell to a team that had let them down, a chance to vent their disappointment but mostly to guzzle up free t-shirts, pizza and whatever swag the remorseful organization was offering up. Most importantly, it meant the end of basketball in Toronto for another long summer. Not the case on Monday. Monday night was a celebration, a show of appreciation from a starved fan base to a team that has captured their admiration with resilience and hard play. It was a night of reflection, looking back at where they came from and rejoicing in what theyve accomplished. It wasnt a goodbye. Theyll see them again in five or six days. "Weve got to have some of the most devoted fans in the league," he continued. "Ive been here through the struggles and tough times and our fans were still right there with us on this journey. So it definitely felt good to share it with them because they played a major part in it as well." Although DeRozan was in uniform, available to play if it would have come to that, he was given the night off to rest going into his playoff debut next weekend. As it turns out, they didnt need him, not against the league-worst Bucks on Monday night. It was the 11th time theyve played without a member of their first unit - a group that has won more games than any starting five in franchise history - and the 11th time theyve come away victorious. With the Raptors all-star guard cheerleading from the sidelines, Greivis Vasquez started in his stead, pacing the team with 25 points and seven assists. "It was a fun win," said Vasquez, who knocked down his first six shots, five of them from beyond the arc. "They gave me a chance to start, I just went out there and did my job." Performances like his, like Tyler Hansbroughs double-double in 20 minutes, are a big part of whats gotten them to this point.dddddddddddd DeRozan has carried this team more often than not, so too has Lowry - who scored 16 of his 24 points in the second half - but when one or both have needed it, someone has generally been waiting and ready to back them up. "All it takes is the right chemistry, the right group of guys and you can do whatever it takes," DeRozan said. "You dont need no big name players, you dont need this, that and the third, what people supposedly say you need. Were proof of that and we continue to keep growing, keep learning and keep building. On to the next step." The next step, as the Raptors leading scorer puts it, is Wednesdays regular season finale in New York. With a win over the Knicks, Toronto would lock down the Eastern Conferences third seed and face whomever slots into sixth, most likely Washington. The Raptors would fall to fourth and play the fifth place team - likely Brooklyn - if they should lose on Wednesday and the Bulls defeat the Bobcats in Charlotte. "Im more worried about us, more so than who we play," said Casey. "Its about us, about our health, the rest, whatever we decide to do in that situation. If we play Brooklyn we play Brooklyn. If we play Washington we play Washington. There are no easy teams left in the playoffs right now. All of the teams are very capable. Brooklyn is probably more playoff-ready. But we cant control that. And Im not going into [Wednesdays] game trying to control that." The Raptors coach said he has not decided whether DeRozan - second in the NBA in minutes logged this year - will play in Wednesdays season finale. Home sweet home The Raptors will finish the season with 26 wins at home for the fourth time in franchise history. After dropping eight of their first 12 games at the ACC, they have become one of the toughest teams to beat on home court, winning 22 of 29 since the end of December. "Coach definitely stressed to us, weve got to protect home court," DeRozan said of the turnaround. "Thats big. We cant let teams come in here and think they can get wins. We really started taking it personally, understanding weve got to use our crowd to our advantage. Everybody bought in, so every time we were home we felt comfortable and felt that we could get any win." "I think our guys have gotten better, matured, improved, I think more than anything else," Dwane Casey said of their success at home. "You should have the same approach whether youre on the road, playing on the moon, wherever youre playing youve got to have the same approach and our guys have done a good job of that, whether were on the road or at home." They were undefeated, 19-0 in games they led going into the fourth quarter in Toronto, something that should serve them well as they go into the first round of the playoffs with home-court advantage. The stat With their fourth straight win over Milwaukee, the Raptors swept the season series with the Bucks for the first time in team existence. The quote "We had group at the start of the season that was motivated, dedicated to winning," said Lowry, "and when everything didnt pan out we made a move and we got a group of guys who came in that really filled the voids that we needed. Everyone is on the same page. ' ' '
