Match Day Thread Europa league R16 leg 2: Manu Utd V Liverpool

The video exists now, we could provide. the mancs have photo ids, easy to find and ban anyone if they want. they won't. there'll be no signals cos its not important to uefa and certainly not to utd.

Has anyone actually form the utd camp (not outside commentators with manc colours) made any comment? I can't recall i heard a peep.

 

If he wasn't going to get sent off last week It's hard to see him getting his deserves this time around. Think it was six or seven fouls after he was booked, just like he did at Newcastle some weeks ago.

 

United put out a staement, which the Mirror sugar-coated by stating that Liverpool fans were singing about Munich (even a couple of Man U workmates who went - one in the Anny Road and one in the Centenary) never claimed that.

But look, there needs to be an official complaint (even from a member of the public watching telly) for the police to act and I'm rather glad that none of our fans have done that. remember, United are the touchy fans who reported Fowler, when he played for City, to the police for holding up four fingers, and Lord knows how many times their fans have bombarded the police with 999 calls when they perceive they got a ball call in Europe (remember the Nani sending-off against Madrid?).

If we get an early goal and look like coasting on Thursday (can't see it myself - I think it'll go to the wire) their fans will do EVERYTHING they can to get our fans to respond with Munich sh1t. God, I hope they don't, but whatever the restraint they may show we can rest assured that the Daily Manc will still report that Liverpool fans wound up the Clog_Sparkers in the first place to sing about Hillsborough: they can't help it - it's never their babies' fault.

 

no way, not at home in front of the hateful crowd of prawn munchers.

Refs are not announced yet.

this is a good site for getting the ref appointments from for uefa competitions

 

Can't believe the penalty was given

Yeah there was contact, but Evra was clearly trying to pull out

 

That's actually more true about Reina and Park for theirs.

 

English refs don't send him off (much), uafa refs don't send him off (much), I don't think he has been sent much off at international level either, have you ever considered your view of a foul might be based on scouse rules only?

 

And your view of a foul is probably based on "the Scholes guide to a clean tackle"

 

He never hurt anyone (I am lead to believe)

 

I went to see Burnley Vs Everton before Felaini went to utd and i said it way back then - he is one of the dirtiest players i have ever seen live. Scott Parker is right up there too, in fact I think Scott Parker was worse. The thing with both of those two was how dirty they are off the ball. Whatever you think of the likes of say a Robbie Savage, or even a Scholes, they may have been firm, some claim dirty but in the main it was when the ball was there to be played. Also i dont recall either of those making a meal of things when challenged back. Felaini is just nasty, it is not like he brings a lot to your team to make it worth while defending him.

 

That said he will probably bag a hatrick on Thursday now

 

No, it's based on an elbow to the head/neck area. That is the rulebook definition of a foul, but obviously Gill now gets you as many exemptions at UEFA as you've always enjoyed at the FA.

Add in the Serbs are ripe for bribing and this one looks dodgy...

 

2014-15 UEFA Champions League and Europa League
Having successfully refereed the round-of-16 return leg in March 2015 between Borussia Dortmund and Juventus, Mažić got another important Champions League assignment in April with the quarter-final first leg between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderón Stadium, a Madrid Derby match and a repeat of the previous season'sChampions League final.[28] The match ended 0-0. Among the five yellow-carded players were Real's left back Marceloand Atlético's midfielder Mario Suárez whose bookings meant they had to miss the return leg due to the accumulation of yellow cards throughout the competition. In their post-match comments, both players had complaints about the way Mažić refereed the contest with Suárez going as far as questioning the referee's competence and apparently tying it to his ethnicity, saying on Spanish TV: "The referee is very bad. They can't use a Serbian referee for these type of games, with all my respect. I hope that in the return leg they pick a better referee".[29][30] With the possibility of matches being added to his one-game suspension due to his comments that were taken by some as an ethnic slur,[31] Suárez took to Twitter in order to apologize, tweeeting: "I'd like to apologize if anyone has been offended by my words after the game, it was not my intention. I meant to say that games of this magnitude should be given to a referee from one of the big leagues. Nothing more, we all make mistakes. Lets keep working".[29] The following day, Atlético's centre back Mirandabacked his teammate Suárez, continuing to question Mažić's competence due to having a background from the Serbian SuperLiga: "I won't talk about the referee, but I think referees from minor leagues should not be in charge of this kind of game".[32]

 

Liverpool will train on the Old Trafford pitch on Wednesday ahead of their Europa League second leg with Manchester United.

Klopp is a proper manager, Van Gaal is a coward baby

"ref, is it okay our players stand offside?"
"UEFA, is it okay we sleep in our own beds?"
"UEFA, is it okay I can still use my Fellaini"
