Every now and again when United are playing an FA Cup game, the commentators will remind us how we chose to withdraw from the competition in 2000, following our historic Treble winning season. Instead of taking part in one of the most prestigious cup competitions in the World, United instead took part in the World [...]

The lengthy ban and extortionate fine dished out by the FA to Rio Ferdinand is something I have challenged time and again on this blog. There have been countless incidents which are comparable to that of Ferdinand, from Christian Negouai to Adrian Mutu, where their punishments were nowhere near as severe as that of Ferdinand.
He [...]

The evening of January 25h 1995 was one which could have seen United’s more recent history shaped in a totally different way to how we know it. Eric Cantona had been sent off against Crystal Palace and went on to kick and bunch one of their fans in the stands. “He’s really done it this [...]

The usual hacks got all excited when they saw that Manchester United were awarded a penalty for a good tackle at Old Trafford, with their ‘what a surprise’ articles and ‘only at Old Trafford’ remarks.
Of course, there’s this myth that United get it all their own way at home, with referees like putty in our hands. If [...]

Manchester United have been fined for the 7 yellow cards the players picked up in Sunday’s 1-1 draw away to Chelsea. The number of cards would suggest there was some kind of bloodbath on show, which certainly wasn’t the case at all. United committed 22 fouls whilst Chelsea committed 18.
In the midlands derby between West [...]

When one team is awarded 7 yellow cards in a match, you would imagine the game to have resembled something like a blood bath. Crunching tackles, studs in the air, violent altercations.
Reports suggested that Mike Riley had been given the job because he wasn’t hated by either side. If United fans didn’t have a problem [...]

Sir Alex Ferguson has been waging war on referee’s boss, Keith Hackett, for some time now, looking at the inconsistencies of the FA and the referee’s under Hackett’s guidance.
Towards the start of last season, Ferguson pointed out the slipping standards in refereeing, saying that the buck stopped with Hackett.
“At the summer conference, [referees' chief] Keith [...]

Whilst many readers of RoM couldn’t give a fuck about the England football team, there was greater interest in the goings on of the national team when the issue of Fabio Capello’s captain came about. Rio Ferdinand looked favourite to be given the armband and it is of course rather nice to see the effort [...]

I am no stranger to starting rants targeted at the FA, for what I find to be increasingly unacceptable behaviour and rulings. They are bloody clueless and seem to delight on really digging the knife in to our club and players.
They have been guilty countless times of punishing one player a certain way, yet when [...]

“Love and respect do not automatically accompany a position of leadership. They must be earned.”
Roy Keane was the worst of the lot, wearing the captains arm band, chasing Andy D’Urso around the pitch. Jaap Stam, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham all followed.
So what was the big deal? Why did one man warrant the [...]

Whilst still confident United had it in them to go and win the league, the 2-1 to defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was pretty devastating. To equalise in the second half, only to lose due to a soft penalty awarded a couple of minutes from time, left me upset, frustrated, and angrier than I’d [...]

With Platini and Blatter aiding the fight for most unpopular football organisation going, I’d almost forgotten how much I despise the FA.
We all know the FA love to have a pop at United and it seems they have been given their latest excuse.
There was Robbie Fowler’s ‘five times’ goal celebration, intended to wind up United [...]

The fixture lists were announced yesterday, showing United to have away Premiership fixtures following all of their key Champions League games.
The managers of all clubs playing in Europe often have a thing or two to say about the timing of league games in relation to the games they have to play on the continent.
This season, [...]

The FA are an organisation I’ve been quick to criticise of a number of occasions. Their inconsistency is infuriating, particularly considering it is usually United on the receiving end of their unjust punishments. From Rio Ferdinand’s drugs ban to Gary Neville’s fine, the FA just love making an example out of United.
So when United got [...]

Rob Styles didn’t win himself any United mates after his failings as a referee cost United crucial points last weekend. United were denied two penalties, after Rooney was fouled in the box in the first half by Reid (his late reaction to the foul swaying the ref) and a blatant handball from Emerton, blocking Carrick’s [...]
