couldnt agree more wayne

forever manc…. you forget red nev…

He didn’t use any abusive language, like Drogba did last year. Are footballers not entitled to voice their own (and in this instance, correct) opinions now without the F.A. flexing their muscles?
November 9th, 2009 @19:19
Since Rafa loves his facts, lets see the teams that Liverpool have lost to in the league this season:
F (ulham)
A (ston Villa)
C (helsea)
T (ottenham)
S (underland)
November 9th, 2009 @19:20
Rooney’s calm and entirely reasonable assertion is a far cry from Drogba’s pathetic wailing banshee performance, hopefully it’s just a ticking off, but for heaven’s sake, what is this whole nonsense around players not being able to express an opinion without the FA throwing a wobbler?
November 9th, 2009 @19:40
Would be ridiculous if he’s punished for it.. I think this was our comeback match.. henceforth we will definitely play well [as we are behind now] and the fact that we have to play 12 men, we have to put that extra bit into every game every move.. was very much satisfied with our alround performance. Hope Obertan gets more such chances.. he’s a delight to have on pitch.. Go United..
November 9th, 2009 @19:43
cant believe peterborough have sacked darren ferguson after all his done for the club
November 9th, 2009 @19:48
How could the FA possibly charge Wazza for telling the truth? It comes to the point where the linesman is what 10-15m away from Terry tugging Valencia to the floor in the box and doesnt’f flag it up and even they cant deny Atkinson’s shirt was not black but just a very deep shade of blue.
November 9th, 2009 @20:10
Wazza was spot on, it was 11 against 12 at times – glad to see he won’t be punished for the comment though!
November 9th, 2009 @20:12
@Jack have they sacked him then? I had only heard there were talks and nothing had been confirmed.
If they have it sums up modern day football doesn’t it where 2years of success can be forgotten in barely 4months of football in the current season!
November 9th, 2009 @20:16
I think Wayne is refering to the 12 men that will be sat on the Jury when Terrys Father is charged with supplying a class A drug.
It is obvious that he is commenting on the need for trial by jury for all drugs dealers who have been caught supplying drugs for personal gain in the toilet of a pub.
The FA should be proud of Wayne for warning children of the justice they can expect if they get involved with low life death peddlars that lurk in toilets – like John Terrys Dad is (alleged) to have been seen doing on camera.
12 MEN – Thats what you will face if you deal drugs – 12 Good Men nad True.
November 9th, 2009 @20:17
bchilds
looks like it, disgrace, posh fans are well upset about it
November 9th, 2009 @20:17
Damn skippy Rooney. So now make sure next time you make up for the 12th man and put a couple in the net so it won’t matter. I hope you remember Sunday and when the stupid International break is over, you unleash yourself on the league.
November 9th, 2009 @20:24
Hey wait a minute!
Was Rooney skipper when giggs went off?
November 9th, 2009 @20:28
@Sprite, oh yea I never noticed that – must have been!
November 9th, 2009 @20:38
Might as well have been 12 vs 10 for all Rooney did
November 9th, 2009 @20:43
HE said what every united fan was thinking. Although with the linesman on the near side it was more like 13!! These decisions keep going against us, but hopefully that performance and the feeling of injustice will spur us on.
Hope rooney rediscovers his goalscoring touch too.
Carrick always seems to look more comfortable as part of a 3 man midfield aswell.
I still feel confidnet we’ll either win or be very close to the league this year. Obertan coming in and getting settled, Hargo coming back from injury, Then Ljajic and maybe Diouf in Jan, and Cleverly coming back from Watford where he has been fantastic. I Think all of these could play an important part in the season at some stage. WE just need to start scoring more consistently, which im sure will come, We always play better second half of the season anyway!
Just wondering, what would people prefer, another european cup, or the title to be the only team to ever win 4 in a row??
Dont think i could pick, so we’ll just have to win both!!
U N I T E D united are the team for me!
November 9th, 2009 @20:44
WR10 4eva…
haha seriously…the referee yeterday was a fucking disgrace
November 9th, 2009 @20:49
what the hell is the FA’s problem?!? why can’t nobody of the involved parties (managers, players) say anything about the ref, and the job he did, or didn’t do???? without FA doing their gestapo thing. freedom of speech??? my ass. it’s more likely ”freedom of speech, just watch what you say…”
November 9th, 2009 @20:55
Spot on wayne. He shouldn’t even be warned on his future conduct, this is nothing compared to the “it’s a fucking disgrace!” paroxysm in the CL semis. From now on, every game played will be against 12th men, and we have to take that into account.
@ READ CAREFULLY WHAT I
You’re a funny genius.
November 9th, 2009 @20:55
still the bitterest in the land
November 9th, 2009 @20:59
could’nt agree more wazza. the ref was shocking yesterday wazza was onside and the standard of refs is declining you don’t find many good refs in the prem. and when fergie tries to send his point across with the standard of refering he gets charged! is it me or are the refs conspiring against us after the sunderland game? whatever it may be it is sickening regardless of people saying we should’ve could’ve finished the game off and other previous games. we’ll never DIE!!
November 9th, 2009 @21:01
Was that worse than Wilkins saying “Bollocks” to the 4th official? Have to admit though, class reaction by Butch!
November 9th, 2009 @21:02
@ pondave
Title number 19 is the most important. The premier league trophy this season weighs gold to me, compared to the the european cup. I also hope we get to the final of the FA cup and manage to win it because there’s still players in our team who dream holding winning this trophy e.g Rooney. Aiming for the champions league trophy is too much, we’re probably capable of doing well in this competition but we should be focusing more on the league title, and keep in mind the european teams are stonger this year.
November 9th, 2009 @21:06
well, i suppose we can now wait for the f a to “fairly” make an example of wayne. what should united expect, a 3 game ban? a 5 game ban? 8?
f a = expect the worst
November 9th, 2009 @21:14
Sir Alex before the game said that we cannot let them lead by 5 points and that would be a big thing. I am concerned about that. Is 5 point that much of a lead to make up?
What is also concerning me is we are going to big games specially away ones like Anfield and last nite with a defensive frame of mind. Just a draw would be good and all that. This I think is resulting us not scoring too many and when we are conceding we cannot come back later(against manc was an exception).
When I look at the team these days I really do not see a natural goal scorer. Some one who can score any time in the match.
To be honest and practical I do not see us winning the league this season(at least on current form, both ours and the refs)
I would hate to see Chelsea win, but I would at least hope we start playing attacking football again.
We really need to score more and win with lesser teams with bigger margins, that will help us to get our self confidence back which I do not think we have now as much we would want to.
We really played well last nite, but from now on we will have to show that in spite of refs being against us we can still win matches and win the title.
The players owe it to us, to the manager and most importantly to themselves.
GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED
November 9th, 2009 @21:15
He probably shouldn’t have said it but common sense has prevailed for once judging by the FA’s decision not to charge him. They probably know how shite Martin Atkinson was on Sunday, how badly we were robbed and most likely don’t want to add insult to injury.
What they should do is stick Atkinson in the Championship for a couple of weeks until he learns to get the basics right again.
November 9th, 2009 @21:19
FA = fuckin’ aholes…
November 9th, 2009 @21:24
whats the big fuzz – we’re playing against 12 almost every week as far as I’m concerned. Makes it even sweeter lifting the 19. thropy comes may.
November 9th, 2009 @21:26
Arsenal fan , just googled the vid and this site came up. gotta say the ref was a idiot yesterday, drogba is a cheating twat and ashley cole even more so but there u go, i think fletcher got away with a lot against arsenal but against chelsea the ref was completely wrong to be so strict on him
November 9th, 2009 @21:32
dippers 1 each…that zonal marking is a load of bollocks!!
November 9th, 2009 @21:53
2-1 brummie get in ther!!!
November 9th, 2009 @21:54
Haha, birmingham just scored their second just before half time! Sweeet…
November 9th, 2009 @22:01
What a goal by Jerome. It felt as if we had scored it.
November 9th, 2009 @22:05
Wonder goal as well.
Been forced to bring on Gerrard even though he may need an operation. As soon as I see Gerrard pull up because his groins gone, I’m going to die of laughter.
I haven’t been able to play football for 25 years because my groin went. I hope the same happens to Gerrard, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
November 9th, 2009 @22:09
Disgrace! How dare he insult the integrity of an official. He has feelings, you know…
How long until Sky Sports peddle that fat, self-important cunt Jeff Winter out to demand action be taken?
Bollocks to the shit standard of refereeing in this country. Well in there, Rooney. Top lad.
November 9th, 2009 @22:14
DebRed – Five points is nowt mate, not at this stage. Beat the Rentboys at home and it’s two.
Pondave – Number 19 pal, without a shadow of a doubt.
November 9th, 2009 @22:16
Fact = Benitez has never won against birmingham.
November 9th, 2009 @22:35
Dippers just got a dodgy pen
November 9th, 2009 @22:35
jammy gypsie cunts, never a pen
November 9th, 2009 @22:36
ngogg is a dirty diving bastard!!!
November 9th, 2009 @22:36
It was never a pen….no contact whatsoever…what a joke!
November 9th, 2009 @22:37
refs are getting worse, ngog, blatent dive! and there will be nothing in the papers 2mara bout it cause there love child stevie me put it away..
November 9th, 2009 @22:38
Filthy bin dipping cunts. Lets see what the papers have to say about that tomorrow. Fuck all.
November 9th, 2009 @22:40
Once again a ref bottles it at anfield!
November 9th, 2009 @22:46
Cheating scumbags
November 9th, 2009 @22:50

November 9th, 2009 @22:50
I give 8.5
They’re beyond shit. Benayoun has done his hamstring.
November 9th, 2009 @22:50
Gerrard just went down looking for a pen too the fucker. Suprised he didn’t get it!
November 9th, 2009 @22:52
@rsehole
November 9th, 2009 @22:52

November 9th, 2009 @22:56
Birmingham – robbed.
November 9th, 2009 @22:59
2-2….when was the last time the dippers won????
November 9th, 2009 @23:01
thats made the sundays game a wee bit easier to take, ngogg YSB
November 9th, 2009 @23:01
Was reading the Guardian’s minute by minute and a referee has already started defending the award of the penalty:
“Contact is not necessary: you have to read the intent of the player, inferring that from his behaviour. Were his studs showing? Did he come in harder than necessary? Was he anywhere near the ball? Any of those would suffice. And yes – I’m a ref.”
What a joke, the media are already diverting attention from a blatant dive – just imagine if it was Rooney, it’ll be splashed all over the back pages!
November 9th, 2009 @23:02
If they keep up at this rate, Liverpool will be fighting relegation lol.
November 9th, 2009 @23:02
Dippers will lose their next 2 games as well
no faith in this enept referees
dippers only 3pts ahead of burnley
November 9th, 2009 @23:02
I managed a smirk at that draw, still in too much pain to smile but managed a smirk!
November 9th, 2009 @23:03
Referees have definitely gone crazy. They are denying us stone wall penalties while they just gave one for a blatant dive.
They should be ashamed. Fergie is absolutely right to slate them left, right and centre.
November 9th, 2009 @23:15
Why is it the dippers year? Why are the rentboys favourites for the title? It’s their knack of winning/drawing games they don’t deserve to pick up points from. (And help from the referee is always required.)
Furious. Fuck the refs in the premier league, that’s it, we have GOT to win the title this season.
November 9th, 2009 @23:19
12 men for liverpool today, how many times did we see that? And in the newspapers its allways Fergie complaining, or refs givin penalties for united…. SHIT, were did the world go????!!!! Definetly premier league needs cameras and new rule like the nfl, or the eagle eye in tenis, this cannot continue anymore, and Fergie said it a couple of times that the game needs that kind of equipment and rule changing.
November 9th, 2009 @23:35
Aaaaaaaaaaahahaha 2-2 Brum and should of lost.. sucks as its a reminder of the shambles they ignore when it comes to United.. this season Utd just HAS to win more than ever in my eyes, the ABU mentality is soaring and the FA/Refs are doin their best to keep Utd down. to win it this year will be tougher than ever, cmon lads
November 10th, 2009 @0:32
f.a trying to save their blushes, why do they use refs who cant ref? a restaurant wouldnt hire a chef who couldnt cook and you wouldn trust an accountant that cant count!! tell em rooooooooney!!
November 10th, 2009 @1:18
it is madness that there is no use of cameras. any armchair viewer can see if it was a foul or not, a penalty, offside, whatever before the ref is finished consulting the linesmen.
the sooner blatter fucks off the better.
November 10th, 2009 @4:47
Ha check this out pple. This is the real 12th man. Anyway Rooney did nothing wrong, he’s just mouthing adidas’s campaign slogan. haha
November 10th, 2009 @4:49
Anyway if u noticed, it’s the same linesman who gave rooney offside when he’s on, refused valencia’s penalty but somehow neva see drogba’s pull and offside. Really shady.
November 10th, 2009 @5:35
Good to see Fergie means business :
“”We have a great squad and team of players. We are a very very good team. We have been criticised by a lot of people but we have a great cause now. To win the league”.
Go on Fergie get that siege mentality going. Some team is gonna get hammered soon.
November 10th, 2009 @6:33
I can see this happening
United to score 25-30 goals in the next 10 games and conceede very few.Wayne rooney and berbatov to dcore for fun.Rooney was furious after the game and i am sure this fire of his will carry on in the coming games.Infact the whole team will be fired up and that means not one but many thrashings are round the corner starting with Everton
November 10th, 2009 @8:23
You’ve got a good point wayne, the ref has got a blue shirt underneath
his ref t/shirt.
November 10th, 2009 @11:50
What Rooney said is right.
November 10th, 2009 @12:05
we’ve got to win the league now and stick it to the refs as well as the FA
November 10th, 2009 @13:11
am so upset that I don’t want to comment about the referee and assistant referees who gave key decisions against united (rooney ‘offside’, terry elbowing a united player, drogba and Cole play-acting, shirt-pulling, dragging other players down etc)! Oops I just did!!! I guess we have to win the league the hard way!
November 10th, 2009 @13:47
Wayne, wen your rite your rite.
November 10th, 2009 @22:25
Wazza is our future captain in the making!!!!! Fergie take note this guy will lead us for years to come.
November 10th, 2009 @23:15
10 n a half rentboys{half a man tiny tears}
ref n linesman, shuda said 12 and half!
thered av been too much fuss tho
UNITED 5 IN A ROW
FUCK THE REFS AND FA
November 11th, 2009 @21:35
Well said Wazza. Seems as though cheats do prosper, first this then N’Gogs dive for the vermin.

It’s a far cry from Drogba’s “disgrace” rant. It would be an absolute joke if he were to be fined or punished for this. But the way we’ve been treated the past couple of weeks I wouldn’t be surprised.
Great to see Rooney wearing the captains armband though. Aside from Giggs, I don’t think there’s a single person in that squad that cares more than he does.
