oh, dear Marky, you are such a museum-quality example of how one's extreme hate can easily push a man, who is usually very rational, well into the other side of things
In this particular situation, it was a Lazio player who cleared the ball into SES' stride and that's why it wasn't off-side ... although by far the more heart-warming alternative of an explanation is Milan cheating

As for the general outcry among all fair and unbiased souls here caused by Milan cheating their way to CL places again - Yes, there shouldn't have been a RC for Candreva but there should have been a PK for Milan as he pushed himself into the back of SES' legs and if you guys watch carefully one particlar angle of replay, Candreva's right knee caught/tripped SES' left heel ... that on top of a shoulder tug by Candreva, sure just for a moment but enough to interfere with the attack against the rules. All that took place on the line and inside the PA, so it really should have been a PK. So, Candreva getting booted and Milan not getting a PK is kind of a wash in the end.
And even earlier in the game - Marchetti brought down SES, which should have resulted in an early RC for the Lazio GK and a PK for Milan. That situation was let go by Rizzoli - not sure if he gave an advantage (not much of that as Pazzini got the ball at a rather small angle) or not but seemed to me more like he didn't want to decide the game too early (in just the 3rd min, iirc).
So many premature and hateful reactions around here make me think you guys are nervous about something
