750 The Group of Death

Ibišević's hat-trick soon caused a stir in the English Premier League. Besides being the only player to achieve a hat-trick in the match, there was his celebratory action. It did not matter that no one understood it at the time. Once he explicitly explained it after the game, everyone knew whom he was targeting.

What was Carl Spicer's reaction to it? 

He did not express any views on Ibišević's hat-trick in the latest installment of <Football Matters>. He discussed other matters. For example, Ferguson angrily said that it would be his last season at Manchester United after Manchester United's upset loss of 0:2 to Fulham. 

Although the topic of Ferguson's retirement was also an attention grabber, Sky TV still received several disgruntled phone calls after the show aired. They all indicated that they would rather see how Carl Spicer would rate Ibišević's hat-trick. Most of the calls were said to be from the Nottingham area.
