Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Interesting Mark Hughes quote:

"Historically it has happened before. I was in teams here where we always had a little bit of benefit. I never felt it was an issue when we played here.

"But since I have left maybe I have changed my view on that. I am not going to question anyone's integrity but I do not know where has got seven minutes from.

Blackburn?

Anyone else at the game yesterday notice Tevez taking sooo long to walk back to his own half after their 3rd? Him trying to waste time backfired... Not to mention everytime a FK was given in extra time they always kicked the ball away...

I threw my back out on Saturday so shouldn't have gone yesterday. Though when Owen scored it was like I'd been to one of those kooky healers!
Paying for it today, but worth the agony!

:RSCARF:

Oh, for the umpteenth time, it's United, not fucking manu. How many more times?

Id love to know what Fergies saying here, even the official is having a chuckle!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Can anyone imagine what we'd be reading right now if Rooney (or last year, Ronaldo!?!?!?) had slapped a fan being restrained by two stewards?

Fortunately Bellamy is a c*nt, so I guess it's not news. Pretty tidy footballer though...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

When I see that, SAF kind put the ref off balance like to ignite Hughes . Talking about chasing the bone....

You'll also note that the time doesn't add up. As they posted the wrong times.. Also If time is to be added on for goal celebrations Owens added up to 1 min 16 seconds... After he scored the ref added ......16 seconds..

We'll never be able to accumulate enough hate to match the boring Top 4... Once it's broken i hope we bring Villa and Spuds with us too... Its time for change...

Um, the point of added time isn't to increase the time played because of a goal celebration, it's to make sure the goal celebration doesn't dig into the time that is supposed to be played.

So when Owen scored there were 16 seconds left in the match (give or take). Then they celebrated for a minute, then kick off, there are STILL 16 seconds left in the match.

It's really not hard.

Anyone noticed Bellendmy doing aeroplane gestures after he scored his second?

:-) You've not understood or are not reading right.... Doesn't surprise me in this thread though :-)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Re: Bellamy - I dont think it was meant like that, apparently he always celebrates like that?

And it's nice to see someone from City showing some objectivity and not making excuses about this.

Lescott has said it was their own fault and the defending was poor. Fair play to the lad.

Sigh, let me try an illustration:

Ref looks down at his watch as Rooney takes the free kick, at say 95:00, and decides to play for one more minute (ie he'll blow around 96:00 if the ball is in play).

Play then goes on for about 45 seconds, to 95:45, when Owen scores. At this point, the ref has let 45 seconds of the remaining 60 seonds be played. So there are 15 seconds left in the match.

Owen, Rooney and the team run circles around the stadium for the next half an hour, pausing to briefly have a spot of tea.

The match then resumes at 125:45. There are STILL only 15 seconds left, so he blows at 126:00.

The time spent celebrating goals/making substitutions is not designed to make games 90 minutes + time celebrating/substituting etc. It is designed to keep the time playing football at 90 minutes.

Does that make sense?

You're probably right but it wouldn't surprise me knowing him.
City can blame the referee all they want, what killed them is their inability to retain the ball or to properly clear it.ffs when they scored their 3rd they should have tried to keep that lead and not complain like pussies.As if the "bonus" minute prevented them from playing, Mark Hugues great captain and player for the player but what an idiot and hypocrite he's become

Whoa whoa I've only done it 3 times in my lifetime and I've followed United for 20 years of my life and been going to matches for 15 years , today was the 3rd time. The other two was for job commitments as I was starting work at 5.30pm on which both games kicked off at 3pm.

And Jumbo how can it be a waste of a Ticket? I'd rather attend the game rather than letting the seat being empty! as I've obviously paid for my season ticket. I've always stayed until full-time! My money has paid for the seat, I attended the game, just obviously gutted I missed the goal, but in a game like that where Rio gave the ball away which lead to Citeh's equaliser! I was literally fuming as we were heading for a 3-2 win!

the arrogance of the man, did you see that?! BEYOND THE PALE. He shows no respect for a great manager....

and that was to a former United legend. Not a fat northern twat who thinks hes god because he got Bolton to 5th playing hoof ball football.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Again this is just an example of just one of the negatives in football that only gets highlighted when its a high profile name involved. He's not the only manager with "double standards" but cuz its Sir Alex, people will bash him. Eduardo wasnt the only diver but his dive will also be highlighted because of who he plays for and who it was against.
If this was a last minute goal to make the tie 1-0, and against a team like Wigan or Stoke, it probably wouldnt have been as big of an issue. But cuz its at the end of a 3-3 thriller, against a top four contender, and against a local rival, I can see why it would bother people more. But to me this is no different to how Chelsea would have felt robbed against Barca last year or (going back even further) even the Gerrard dive against Milan in Istanbul to get the penalty to get Liverpool back into the game.
Same crime but the occasion makes it seem worse. I'm not trying to stick up for Sir Alex (or maybe I indirectly am, I dunno), but if you had a problem with what happened, stuff like that should have been dealt with a long time ago before it became a problem in a more important game.
If this had happened against us, sure I'd be a bit pissed off to say the least but I wouldnt go on about it like the rest of you are. I just accept thats life and get on with it. I'm pretty sure all 19 other Premiership managers would have taken that win no matter how unfair they thought it was.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Don't worry, Sparky's big (and no longer reputable) mouth has gotten Gary Neville in trouble.

I mean the gall of the Neviller, celebrating hysterically and running around. Didn't he learn from his utterly ridiculous fine from when we won at Anfield a few years back?

The beauty of it is that I think the outcome is that Adebayor will get off on his charge (for deliberately running the length of the pitch and then having to be dragged away from the slowly growing riot he started) whereas Gary Neville will have his charge upheld for running along the touchline frantically with a last second 4-3 derby win.

And then the ABU's will be out telling us that it's only because we're United they didn't also ban Evra for 4 games.

It's a bit like the EXCLUSIVE AMAZING INCREDIBLE article on how there have been about 60 seconds more added time at OT over the past 3 years when United are losing/drawing as opposed to winning. Now if you weren't a *spit* 'journalist' you'd know that this stat would only be interesting if you then compared it to all other teams. But hey, let's make it sensational, let's just ignore that let's just get it out there UNITED CHEAT TO WIN TITLES!!! PROOF INSIDE!
