Steve Bruce seeing things?

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard Steve Bruce complaining about the penalty decision against Birmingham yesterday. Could there have ever been a more definite penalty? Attacker gets to ball first, nudges ball past keeper, keeper wipes out attacker. Come on Bruce, even the most one-eyed observer can't argue that wasn't a penalty....can they?

His argument seemed to be that the player had kicked the ball out of play, but that's an argument for why to have a go at your keeper for a rediculous challenge isn't it, rather than to get the rules wrong and suggest that this is grounds for not giving the foul? Anyway, thanks for giving us all a giggle Steve Bruce.
