		<description>Hmmm...he mouths &quot;12 men&quot; and keeps on walking and everyone goes ballistic. Droogba screams &quot;it&#039;s a fucking disgrace&quot; right into the camera and Chelski want to defend him and claim that the refs robbed them against the best team in Europe. Tossers.</description>

		<description>Gotta agree, he was quite restrained.  We all know how volatile he can react so, hopefully, this has shown another leap forward in his maturaty.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a disgrace that the FA want to take all emotion out of the game. Christ, you watch your team batter the opposition for 90 minutes, and get cheated out of a result by a corrupt/incompitant ref, and then you&#039;re stuck in front of a worldwide audience 20 minutes later and expected to speak nicely and calmly about the match!
There was nothing wrong with what Rooney did, all players should do the same if they think they&#039;ve been treated unfairly. 
Fuck the &#039;respect the ref&#039; campaign. I was always told when I was younger that you had to EARN respect, which fucking ref in this country has done enough to earn being respected? The likes of Fergie, Giggs, Scholes, and Nev certainly have.</description>

		<description>&quot;I probably shouldn’t have said it, although I maybe could have said worse!&quot;

I have been more-than-a-little pissed that SAF climbed down and apologized - even if half-heartedly - about his comments concerning Wiley&#039;s fitness.  I am therefore happy to see that TheBoyWonder has not capitulated.

Considering the shocking lack of even-handedness in these matter - Rio = 8 months; Evra = 5 Matches; RedNev = fine - it&#039;s time for UTD to stand up to the FA.  The more especially because there now seems to be a virtual conspiracy among their referees to look the other way when LittleMikey and Wesley Brown are manhandled, Carrick is bulldozed, Valencia is brought down in the area, Evra is smashed in the chops, and TheBoyWonder is wrongly given offsides - in two games !  We all know that if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck then it&#039;s probably ....

The comments by Graham Poll and Jeff Winter - as well as the ludicrous suggestion that Wiley could sue SAF - have to be added to the referees&#039; mouthpiece that the four-match fine against SAF (two suspended) was too lenient, only add to my suspicion that David Gill&#039;s influence at FA headquarters isn&#039;t being exerted.</description>

		<description>Its good to see Rooney speaking with such a level head. He is so right about decisions going both ways, by rights evans was lucky to stay on the pitch.

@ hurr 

Wiley won&#039;t sue cos then he will have to prove that he isn&#039;t a fat twat who can&#039;t keep up with proffesional athletes who are half his age. A man&#039;s pride won&#039;t let him admit he has let himself go.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a disgrace that you cant say anything about a piss poor performance by a Ref, Fletcher got it right when he said players and managers can all be slated for bad performances or poor selections but a Ref has to be shown respect!! Fuck off, they are supposed to be professional and they get paid to do their job and if they dont do it they should be prepared to take the stick that comes along with it. I fully agree that on the pitch they should be shown respect and not be swarmed by players but when the match is over they should be as accountable as any player or manager and nobody should be punished for telling them they were fucking shit!! Ref&#039;s think they are fucking famous now and need people like SAF putting them in their place, how many ex Ref&#039;s have you seen on tv having a pop at SAF, fucking loads, some one should tell them &#039;you are no longer a Ref or on tv so fuck off coz you were never a star dickhead&#039; well except fucking Poll and he was only famous for yellow carding the same player 3 times in a game in a major tournament but he is on tv talking about SAF and how he should be punished, fucking wanker!! If I was Rooney (thankfully for United I&#039;m not) I would have fucking twated the Ref, Cashley Arsehole and fucking Arse bandit Drogba!!

Rooney = Legend, United for life!!</description>
