November 8th 2009: Chelsea 1-0 United Referee: Martin Atkinson Decisions which were wrong and changed the match: 1. Wayne Rooney was one on one with the keeper but wrongly ruled offside 2. Darren Fletcher won the ball against Ashley Cole but a freekick was given 3. From that freekick, Chelsea scored the goal, despite Wes [...]
“Something is wrong when a top international like Rooney is seen doing something like this, as clear as day, and is allowed to get away without being punished. If it was any other club or player, you can bet your life he would have been sent off. But officials seem intimidated by the words ‘Rooney’ [...]
Like many other United fans, I’d laughed off rumours linking Wayne Rooney with a move away from the club. Granted, it was odd that he had claimed that he’d never been injured, contrary to what Sir Alex Ferguson had said in the press, particularly because we all saw him icing his injury after coming off [...]
Andy Gray claimed that women didn’t understand the offside rule. Richard Keys responded, straight faced, no wry smile, by saying “of course they don’t.” If we’re honest, there’s more evidence to suggest blokes don’t understand the offside rule, given how frequently male referee’s assistants get such vital calls wrong. Regardless, there’s no reason why a [...]
Charlie Adam is a Rangers’ reject who has been pivotal to Blackpool’s return to the top flight. They are currently 12th in the league and if they were to win their game in hand tomorrow against Manchester United, would move up to 7th. Adam is Blackpool’s record signing at £500k but the move almost didn’t [...]
The FA charge for Rafael da Silva because of his reaction to the unjust red card at the weekend was a result of Mike Dean specifically referring to it in his post-match report. The referee who awarded a penalty against Rafael for a foul on Craig Bellamy outside of the area last season in the [...]
Rafael da Silva was sent off against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday after a poor decision from referee Mike Dean. After the game, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp conceded the second yellow was a wrong decision. However, the reaction of Rafael, which was certainly way over the top, even if slightly understandable given that he just been sent [...]
The FA have charged Rafael da Silva for his reaction to the second yellow card Mike Dean showed him in our 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. This was the third time we’ve seen such an explosive reaction from our little Brazilian. The first game from the bench after United went 2-1 up against Spurs last [...]
szólj hozzá: Red[matchhighlight.com] Rafael da Silva was sent off at Tottenham today with 17 minutes (+4 injury time) remaining on the clock. With Spurs fans always whinging about the decisions that have gone against them, as if it’s an exclusive disadvantage, you have to wonder if their hypocrisy can continue. (And The Ref for Sunday [...]
Lie December 21st 2010: “Maybe one day I’ll come back and play here, but I’ve always said it will only be for Manchester United.” November 30th 2010: “It is always great to be wanted by different managers and different teams even if it’s on loan or a more permanent spell, it’s always nice. I have [...]
Alan Smith was much loved by our fans because of the effort he put in to every game. His tackles would come flying in, he would track down any ball and he was rewarded with his name being sung week after week. However, he was supposed to be a striker and the best he could [...]
“It was handball, there was a foul on the centre half — he went right through the back of him,” said Sir Alex Ferguson. “That’s where we expect them to get a referee who sees that. If you can’t see that, what chance have you got?” See the goal in real time at 101GreatGoals.com
Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to the press today for the first time in six weeks after becoming frustrated with the lies they were telling and the sensationalised headlines they used to accompany his quotes. Today he spoke to them again but let them know where they stand. “First of all, I just want to address [...]
It’s 4pm. United and Chelsea fans should be enjoying a massive fixture which could hugely shape the way the rest of the season would go. As it is, we have no game to enjoy, with Chelsea Football Club making the decision to postpone the game 29 hours ahead of kick off. Daniel Taylor, The Guardian, [...]
Ahead of kick-off, when the team sheet is read out, the loudest cheer is always heard for “number ten, Wayne Rooney.” Our best player, United’s top scorer from last season, the player that exhibits so much passion and displays a genuine love for the club with his performances on the pitch and comments off it.
