And The Scousers’ Obsession Continues…

Liverpool’s European Cup win in 2005 was one of the most incredible moments in their history. It stands to reason that somebody would make a film about it and I suppose it also makes sense they wouldn’t be able to do so without including United.

Fifteen Minutes That Shook The World had its premiere on Monday night, attended by Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Rafael Benitez.

In one scene, a Ferguson parody called McTaggart rings a Neville lookalike, wearing a United No 2 shirt bearing the name “Rat Boy” on the back, to celebrate Liverpool trailing Milan by three goals at half time. “Rat Boy”, whose features were digitally enhanced to make him more ratlike, responds by singing about how he “hates Scousers”.

When word comes through that Liverpool have drawn level, McTaggart is seen swigging furiously from a bottle of Scotch, which has the words “Manager of the Month but not as good as Bob Paisley” on it. He then tries to put his head in a noose only to be thwarted when the gum bubble he blows explodes over his face.

It’s a bit sad that even when remembering a momentous occasion in their own history, they can’t do so without featuring United. I guess we should take it as a compliment, the sad bastards.

    Great to see Ireland leading at half time, i feel like they can actually get this done.

    even now they feed off our name and fame……… fckin scouse shite…… awful small club mentality…………
    guess they needed the sensationalism to emphasise a not so sensational event……….

    @Scott
    I take your point about what Fergie said. That’s fair enough.

    You say “What reason do the makers of this film have for including United, comedy or otherwise?”
    Comedy, of course, you always take the piss out of your rivals when you can. We’re not going out of our way to make “Welcome to Manchester” posters with no occasion ripe for it, or no provocation, or naming our store “Everton Two”, so the address reads Everton 2 Liverpool 1 (although that’s actually pretty funny). Look at the Three Lions ‘98 song and the Germans in it. And its not like Neville or Ferguson are at the centre of it. And like I already said once, its not commemorative or serious or anything. We already have “One Night in May” for that.

    HTFU, please.

    @GHTT
    Everton were our main rivals for a while, and then Arsenal took over. If Man U were the ones knocking us off, they’d have won it from us. Arsenal in 89 and 91, and Leeds in 92 won it before you guys, so they take more of the credit, if anyone does really want the credit.

    @ dv-ant

    Isn’t Benzema on the bench?

    I’m kind of rooting for Ireland right now. As much as I want all the big teams to qualify to get big games next summer I see it this way:
    France – 1 United player (Evra)
    Ireland – 2 United players (O’Shea and Gibson)

    Let’s hope O’Shea’s injury is not serious.

  13. Tonybee says:

    my comment on the dippers film is…. FUCK ‘EM… they aint worth a wank as a team no more….shit team, shit manager, shit stadium. shit owners….. sesspool city full of thieving big mouth scumbags …..

    And I hope they dont sack Beneathus…. hope they keep the fat cunt…. he’s doing to them just what i have always wanted, he’s finishing the bastards off

  14. jandsdad says:

    how many times does diarra have to foul a player before he’s booked.
    Mcshane only just on and booked already.

  15. Drew Vader says:

    brwah — Just out of curiosity, if the whole point of it is “comedy”, whats your opinion on that? Honestly, is “rat face” really that funny? Seems like this “comedian” you say made the film could be under the age of 13.

    Just my opinion of course. I actually thought the bitters fans were kinda funny when they were chanting “fergie, sign him up” at OT about tevez. And i think i would hold my hand up and admit it if this fergie bashing was even close to funny…… but its not. Its juvenile

    Oh well, to each his own I guess

  16. Drew Vader says:

    And I hope JOS’ knock isn’t anything too serious

  17. dv-ant says:

    @Gudjohnsen
    yeah benzema is on the bench – but what I meant was why isnt he playin when they need to win this game and they got benzema sat on the bench

    if the scores stay as they are (agg 1-1) does it go to xtra time and then penalties ?

  18. jandsdad says:

    france kit wouldn’t look out of place in an s and m dungeon with that design over it. Henry the gimp must be loving it

  19. Tonybee says:

    fuck me …that Anelka’s a boi nosed cunt aint he….!!

    do the Paddies go through if thet win tonight…. (as I hope)

  20. Tonybee says:

    jesus me typing… gone bad
    Anelka > big nosed cunt

  21. Fze123 says:

    Ron’s gonna be at the world cup.

  22. portugueseprincess says:

    Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh South Africa here we go!!! We probably won’t get past the group stage but here we go! :)

  23. dv-ant says:

    hope gibson does us a favour whilst hes out there and kicks fuk outta anelka, malouda, sagna and gallas .. :)

  24. Gudjohnsen says:

    Lol, wouldn’t mind that….and then he scores a screamer from 35yards on 119th minute…

  25. dv-ant says:

    cheatin fukin cunt!
    break his legs lads!!!!

  26. jandsdad says:

    Henry the cheating gimp fucker.
    Offside and a clear handball.
    Was he playing gaelic or what.

    @ portugeseprincess

    well done to your nation

  27. jellybean says:

    that was disgraceful from Henry!!!!!

  28. Gudjohnsen says:

    First Anelka dived inside the box and now Henry clearly uses his hand deliberately. I feel sorry for the Irish. They must have picked this up at Arsenal…same old Arsenal, always cheating :p

    @ Scott – Can you post Berbatov’s goals for Bulgaria against Malta? He scored two goals and beat the goalscoring record for his country, good job Berba. I was trying to find them at 101greatgoals.com but no luck…

  29. Macedonia_United says:

    That just confirms my point that we need to get nfl system in football with camera viewing. This was shit from henry

  30. Fze123 says:

    2 players were offside and henry’s handball was so blatantly obvious for all to see. Pure injustice.

  31. portugueseprincess says:

    @jandsdad, thanks mate. I should not be celebrating though because we are playing like shit and will probably go out in the first round. But hey, I can always hope :)

  32. rooninho says:

    handball

  33. dv-ant says:

    cant they appeal – this is just fukin wrong!!!
    they shud just chase him down and kick lumps out of him

  34. rooninho says:

    fucking injustice

  35. keano says:

    cheating bastard!

  36. jandsdad says:

    unlucky ghtt and the irish lads, the republic were robbed there.
    Fuck henry and fuck that blind ass linesman

    @ portugeseprincess

    u have got the best player in the world in your team so on his day anything is possible.

  37. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    My man gibsons on so he’s fit oh I can see the back pages now

  38. Fze123 says:

    Ireland should’ve won the game in normal time, wasted numerous chances, were the better side throughout the match. They were well and truly cheated by Henry’s handball, how the fuck did the ref not SEE THAT?!

  39. Ulster Red says:

    unlucky roi even i can say you were cheated tonight, but congratulations to patrice evra

  40. portugueseprincess says:

    @ jandsdad,
    Thing is, the best player in the universe has not been performing for the national side as well as he should. His head is too big :) . Nani has been playing better for the national team. We qualified without Cristiano. But he is very important for the team because when he is playing there are 3 players marking him thus creating more space for others to shine :) . Hopefully he will come back stronger after the injury.

  41. billabongbob says:

    As the saying goes down here in good old aussie land ‘toughen up princess’! Geez, a lot of fuss over nothing. Its just a pisstake and we should see it as that instead of getting allpreious over it.

  42. jandsdad says:

    @ Ulster red

    that must have took a hell of a lot to write those words lol.

    @ portugeseprincess

    i reckon this will be his tournament, as much as it pains me to see for club reasons, but always will wish him the best of luck for his time with us

    I was thinking the same thing! READ CAREFULLY has been on fire tonight. The bit about Tuftys mam not washing her hands after making his sandwiches had me in bits!

  44. kel says:

    Without us, do anyone expect the film to be success? no…….

  45. can united score? they always score says:

    well said kel..without us not even their pathetic fans would’ve gone to see the movie, let alone FSW. while they were celebrating their own past history, we keep rewriting ours at present to be the next in history books

  46. knightsmith says:

    RE: Royzadood

    ” Now we’re getting it together as a club and bringing in the players you can’t afford”

    And what players are these then?

    “getting it together” What’s this then, arrangements for the Europa League?

    Out of Europe next week, and good fucking riddance.

  47. CV10 says:

    Bunch of useless Cunts!!!

    Fuck the films, try concentrating on the football they want, and at best they may get 4th!

    Tossers!
