How f***ing annoying do you boys find it when a player is accused of cheating by bitter opposition fans? Feel for you, we went through all this sh1t last week. - Not particularly dangerous two footed tackle vs gentle head butt. Both are, by the book, red card offences. I couldn't care less if they're harsh, the ref has to give them. - Rooney appealing vs Johnson touching his face. Yes, gamesmanship, but pretty much exactly what EVERY other football player does in the modern game. Not that it's ok, just that when we see a lot worse several times each match, you can hardly claim this is cheating. - Manager rant vs manager rant To be fair, Mancini's wasn't too bad. Probably part of the reason he is a successful manager and still has a job. It's the effect it has on fans: - Ranting, wumming fans vs ranting wumming fans F*** off. Just because your manager says it to the press doesn't mean it's true, or even that he believes it. Try to be objective ffs. Right, I'm sure most of you couldn't give a sh1t about Norwich, but I'm glad I got that off my chest.
It happens to all teams, but unfortunately Utd seem to get more stick than most. Possibly because Utd are under the spotlight more any other team, and not because Utd get all the decisions and have bought all the refs, before anybody says anything.
Actually I hope you stay up,your playing some good stuff and showing no fear at Old Trafford,Anfield,Stamford bridge etc
Everyone will have different opinions on both incidents ( i admit to having not seen what happened with Barton so i wont comment on it and Kompany's was probably not a red, but i can see why the ref made that decision on the spot for the reasons you mention in your post), I can definately sympathise however with what you say about the reaction of other fans to them. People get really pathetic. Everything from conspiracy theories to calling for the refs head, because they think that should have been advantage. So long as something genuinely happened i have no issue with overreacting anyway. Simple facts are that without it the foul wouldn't be noticed. Not dissimliar to the extra roll every player adds whenever they fall. At the end of the day. **** them. We both won . Hope you stay up.
