Rooney is a good player I will give you that. He is a whinging git too. No player is worth the ludicrous amounts for kicking a ball.
Show me one player that doesn't whinge during a game in the heat of the moment, Huddlestone did his fair share of complaining during the game for the example.
Who can argue with that? No one. That wasn't the point though, the point is he's better paid than the majority for a reason.
It's hardly surprising that Huddlestone complained, not only did he suffer a petulant kick from Rooney, but it was followed with a pathetic dive... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...nchester-United-club-divers-against-Hull.html The diving yesterday was shocking, a disgrace to English football and the sooner they start issuing retrospective punishments, the sooner this bollocks will stop.
Yes yes, a United player dived, it's the end of the world as we know it, we get it, we all know that United are responsible for all diving... and poverty... and Hitler... and Hiroshima!
I didn't suggest it was the worst thing in the world, merely the worst thing about modern football. You'd think Man United woud have good enough footballers to win without cheating. They obviously don't.
Yes, United only won because of a couple of dives, most of which that weren't even given anyway! You also mentioned the "petulant kick" by Rooney which could easily of been a yellow, but I notice nobody (including MOTD funnily enough) has mentioned the petulant elbow Elmohamady give Cleverley down the touchline late in the second half while he was busy trying to start an argument with anybody on the United bench, that could of easily been a straight red!
What about Sagbo's dive that got Valencia his first booking. Now go do one and **** off back to championship and hopfully die to that would be nice.
I sit behind the away dugout and Moyes made a complete cock of himself yesterday. Though there was one really funny moment when Januzaj did an appalling dive right in front of him and he shoulted at him get up before he got booked. Elmo and Cleverley a straight red Get to ****.
Sorry, I can't debate anything with you, I've seen some of your posts already, you're either under ten years old, or you're a bit special.
Come on, if you are complaining about that Rooney incident then you have to acknowledge that Elmohamady incident, he stops and just throws his elbow in to his chest, trying to laugh that off after bringing up the "petulant" Rooney kick just makes you look like a whinging little cry baby that's complaining because your team threw away a two goal lead.
Then do one then, you deserved to lose yesterday you play awful football and are moaning about players diving even your team were doing it to. Enjoy the championship next season.
I don't do crying, I expected us to lose yesterday, I'd just rather it had happened fairly. Sooner or later this issue will be addressed and these dives will receive retrospective action and the game will be better for it. Better ref's wouldn't do any harm either.
At the risk of dragging this thread back on topic: Rafael got injured at 2-0 and was replaced by Adnan at 18 minutes. Moyes was probably going to make a change anyway but what it did was to force his hand and he had to do it earlier. Suddenly there was more urgency and more attacking especially on that left side. My own feeling is that (without sounding arrogant) with the lower placed teams like Hull DM should be even more adventurous. I know that his formations are probably more attacking than the ones he used at Everton but he could be even more so. Cleverley and Fletcher slowed the game right down and only when Januzaj came on did we see more attacking play. He should use Kagawa more IMO. Thank goodness for the 2 goals to be conceded early and Rafael to have that "thigh strain"....
Fair? So maybe two obvious dives (the others weren't given, and one of those he was booked for), and it wasn't fair? If Sagbo doesn't go down so easily (it takes more than a hand brushing down the back of a leg to put a big man like that down) Valencia is still on the pitch at the end too remember, he was more than happy to hit the ground and then ask why it wasn't a red.
Yeah I remember Hudd whinging about being kicked from behind by rooney and rooney diving on the halfway line.
It seems MU want to win at any cost. Back in the day they entertained and played within the rules. All these good players and they resort to the **** we saw yesterday. Thank **** this is the english league and we only have to watch it twice a season.
I notice Moyes said a couple of months back, that there should be retrospective punishments issued for diving, let's hope he get his wish.
Coming on as a neutral ... didn't see all the game but did see blatant dives by Rooney and the Belgian lad ... - given Ashley Young's not undeserved reputation you'd think the other reds would be more 'aware' of not blatantly diving - perhaps that just demonstrates that professional footballers just aren't very bright. If they are not careful refs may start not giving the 'benefit of the doubt' to United soon as the dives are getting a lot of media coverage. Personally I want to see simulation stamped out of the game - fines mean nothing - it has to be suspension - so retrospective yellows and reds for what is, let's face it, cheating, it's not 'part of the game'... My other bugbear is shirt holding from set-pieces - the FA need to get a grip on this too - anywhere else on the pitch if you grab hold of the opponents shirt it's a foul - just one ref needs to be brave - inform both teams before the match that it will be an immediate free kick if you take hold of an opponents shirt - if in the area = penalty - same goes for the gay wrestling which is, frankly, embarrassing ...
