Every week, Betfair Football's star tipster Andy Gray picks out and answers his favourite question out of those he is asked on Twitter and Facebook. Here's his answer to this week's poser... "What did you make of Nani's goal against Tottenham?" - @swm2k2 and @ZimHen I think everyone would agree this is water under the bridge now and after a few days of debate we must move on. Since you ask, my view is that if we apply the letter of the law then referee Mark Clattenburg did nothing wrong. Heurelho Gomes says the ref was unclear about his decision but I think the Tottenham keeper has a lot to answer for here. The truth is, he made a mess of it.

It seems like a lifetime away that two refereeing decisions made within the space of a couple of hours got the whole of the English footballing world talking but I think it's a case of "better late than never" so here are my views on them...

The referee bottled it, pure and simple. If that offence had been made by a Stoke player...

"Was Wayne Rooney unlucky to miss out on the Ballon d'Or shortlist?" - @Dandaman5891 and @JamesRobsonMEN Yes, I think he was very unlucky. Wayne Rooney had an outstanding season last year, scoring freely for both club and country in every competition he played for. He picked up an injury towards the end of the season which ruled him out of the last few matches and had a pretty dismal World Cup by his own admission, but I still don't think that alone should have meant he got the snub. Especially when you consider that the likes of Asamoah Gyan made the shortlist. I've got nothing against the...
