Varney is running relatively straight, Rafael comes tearing across about about 45 degrees. As Rafael gets there and sticks a toe out, Varney clearly attempts to cut across/into Rafael with a firm challenge. Instead he gets dumped - because the momentum is with Rafael. The referee has a fantastic view of it thankfully. I mean, its not like a clean cut opportunity was in the offing for Varney. Had I been the ref, I would have given a penalty but thankfully we have the luxury of a replay.
That's why they end up hating us just as much as they actually love their own team. They can't take responsibility and admit that it's because their team isn't good enough, they have to blame someone else ie us and our '12th man' the official. Typical of today's blame everyone else society. BTW TuckersLaw, your name sounds familiar, were you on 606?
I was indeed. Previous incarnations: -Nani Technology -Curb My Enthusiasm -Author, Visionary, Dreamweaver plus Actor.
Ahh yes, Curb My Enthusiasm does sound familiar in particular. Mine were: Jip Jaap Stam StuVanKen RiverIrwell and currently 'In Decline Since Cantona Left Apparently'
Ah yes. I've seen 'In Decline Since Cantona Left Apparently' on 606 and think its a great name. They never learn with the 'in decline' articles either do they. Its always just wishful thinking on their part.
Whiteside I just saw this posted; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AEDfqqHx7o I didn't think this was a penalty either...
I don't think that one is a penalty - Ronaldo has knocked the ball further on than Varney did and Distin has turned side-on with him whereas Rafael was still coming across.
Jip Jaap Stam I had a few conversations with RiverIrwell. Good poster. TuckersLaw Had a few with Curb as well. Llikewise a good poster.
Vidicschin I'm glad you are giving the username an outing again. I guess we effectively wipe out our reputations when we change usernames.
That was the main problem with 606. You could get banned very easily- especially if someone took personal exception to you- then you'd have to creat a new account and start again Cheers mate, hopefully we'll have more on here
TL & JJS I will be around. Getting fed up with the idiots on 606. If a United fan seriously thinks that Rooney is rubbish, and should be sold, I do not really wish to have a conversation with him anymore. Although these people are probably not really United fans.
Vidicschin You are always going to get idiots though. I don't mind if people have a different opinion of a player, but the 'fans' who make knee jerk reactions and base their opinions of a player on what happened in the last game, really get on my nerves. Am I right in thinking you can create an 'ignore list' on here?
I think part of the problem is that this season, Rooney- compared to his own high standards- has been rubbish. Some of these "fans" have only followed United for a very short period of time, so 10 below-par months seems like a very long time to them. For real United fans, we know that Rooney has been generally very good for the 6 and a half years he's been with us, so we can easily forgive him a bad spell. And it's not as though he's not trying is it?
TuckersLaw You and I had a difference of opinion on 606 the other day, but we both put our points across in what I thought was a very good debate, and managed to find some common ground. (You should be able to deduce my 606 name now). That is how it should be. Not sure about the ignore list. I have not reallly had the time to find my way round here yet.
Oooo eck! Er, rooneysrage? Were we debating the relative merits of O'Shea? As I see it, there is no point in falling-out or even arguing with a fellow United fan. I mean, we both love the same thing. It's better to try and see the other persons point of view rather than just force your own onto others. When someone is sensible, logical and most importantly - backs up their opinion, then I am always willing to be proved wrong or back down.
