In 2003 we were perhaps indebted to that sporting fellow Thierry Henry's sense of gentlemanly conduct in staying on his feet.
As for Murphy let me throw this into the debate.Would we feel so magnanimous about him staying on the pitch,and the referee's interpretation of the rules,had Murphy appeared in our 6 yard box in the 89th minute to head Carlisle's winner?
Had he done a Ronald Koeman on us then I suspect the mood would be quite different.
No right answer here.As it turned out we can't complain about it,but the situation could have been different.
