TRIFILIAKOS Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The hand of Postie By Dino- TRIFILIAKOS Helder Postiga had a 'huge hand to play' in England Under-21s' chances of qualifying for the European Championship finals with his finishing at Goodison Park last night. Postiga hasn't hit the target for Tottenham in the Premiership so far but scored last night using his hand to steer home a 78th-minute Hugo Viana free-kick to give Portugal a 2-1 win. Only Greek referee Athanassios Briakos and his assistant failed to see Postiga using a hand. U21 Manager David Platt's contract prevented him from speaking out against Briakos, other than to say: " Unfortunately, none of the match officials seemed to see what everybody else saw." Add to this, the latest fixing claims against the Greek FA, and one really does have to wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
