Following United’s progression through to the next round of the Champions League, top of the group, all of the talk about was our ‘thug’ Wayne Rooney.
Replays has shown as supposedly intentional stamp on Aalborg player Risgard. Slow motion, like usual, made the incident look worse than it was, but in normal time, it just appeared to be a full-bodied clash.
Now, you would imagine if a player believed another had purposefully stamped on their chest, they would be seeking revenge and an appropriate punishment for their attacker, right? Well Risgard made an appeal on behalf of Rooney, asking UEFA not to hand out a ban to our striker, claiming the replays on television were making a mountain out of a molehill.
Regardless, when UEFA came back with their decision not to suspend Rooney, the papers will full of headlines about Rooney being ‘let off’ and ‘escaping’ punishment. The fact that the player, Risgard, who should have been complaining more than any other was on Rooney’s side, seemed to pass everyone by. The fact that UEFA, who take great pleasure in knocking English clubs down a peg or two, decided not to punish him, again strengthens Rooney’s case, but again, this was ignored by the press.
Now, following a great few days of football for United, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all dropping points, whilst United are crowned ‘Champions of the World’, I wonder if the FA will react to Alex’s stamping on Tim Cahill last night. Following the red card of John Terry, the Chelsea players continued to show their well-famed indiscipline, with want-away defender, Alex, stamping on Cahill as he lay on the floor.
Unsurprisingly, the headlines don’t revolve Alex’s violent stamp, rather Chelsea’s fury over what they perceive to be an unfair sending off for their captain (who knew that two feet off the floor, studs showing, late tackles deserved red cards these days?). No Alex the Thug? No talk of petulance? Violence?
I wonder, why is it a United players gets labelled a thug after what was just a suspected intentional stamp, whilst a Chelsea player plants his studs in to a man on the deck, no two ways about it, and totally slips under the net?
The FA may review this stamp, meaning if John Terry appeals his sending off, Chelsea could be without the pair of them for our match in the new year. I would show you footage of the incident for you to make your mind up, but unlike with Rooney, there aren’t slow motion replay videos all over the internet this morning!
The Chelsea way! Oh, how much we’ll enjoy it when we lift the Premier League trophy in May!
*Waiting for the Chelsea fanboys to see this and whine*
Is there a video of the incident anywhere online?
I had to leave the tv screen for 5 min and of course missed this bit!
I believe the FA are “looking at video evidence” of the incident.
For what its worth.
RedMist – they should look at video evidence. But, for what it’s worth they will no doubt view it just the same way that they viewed the chaotic evidence of the Evra-gate – in favour of the RentBoyz.
I would love to see if Rooney was Terry jumping into that ludacrous challenge, or if Rooney was Alex, what firstly the press reaction would be.
“Looney does it again”
There is such a media bias against United, and pro Chelsea/Tiny Tears that it is laughable. That has to be one of the most obvious red cards this season.
Secondly I bet he would be down to Soho square before Xmas day and another three match ban would be handed out, as usual United we stand.
what a cruel difficult world, oh my god.
pure match for Chelsie yesterday, but anyway. all we should care are us.
but of course i understand what the purposeof this article. justice for all (c)
Double standards as always…….just shows how good we are though..
We get double the punishments, double the shite… yet we win double the trophies lol…
Where’s the fuss over Cahills late, late late sliding tackle from behind which sparked this incident?
It’s probably that childish Konspiracy against Manchester United that you keep going on about which means that Chelsea have paid all journalists not to mention Alex’s incident whilst going overboard about Shrek’s.
no suprise at the lack of reaction, alex doesn’t play for United. The reaction to Rooney was an absolute disgrace and what made me laugh was the media dismissing any calls of a witch hunt against Rooney.
I also wouldn’t be suprised if Chelski appeal Action mans red card and its wiped off.
f**k them it was a great weekend for the reds.
the scousers slipped up, arse slipped up, chelski slipped up
and we brought back the trophy that they all dismiss- until they win it!
EuroBlue………..Learn how to spell big words before posting them,
Knob end!!
euroblue, a silly rentboy.
do you really believe United get fair treatment? Evra gets banned 4 games for something nobody can fully know everything about and at the end of it, it was a childish scrap, yet drogba clearly sticks his finger up and throws a coin into the crowd yet he only gets a 3 match ban the media hardly made a fuss of it either yet Rooney ’stamps’ on someone and its headline news and here we are the an Alex stamp the media haven’t made a fuss of that either its not ‘out of control temperamental thug alex’ . Mutu is found guilty of using cocaine yet he isn’t banned as long as Rio who only missed the drugs test and offered to take the test only hours later? the list could go on and on.
you probably haven’t been supporting your club long enough to know how easy it is for you to get away with things, Dynamo chelski Est 2004, shit club no history.
We have to accept sh!t like this. It comes with the job of being a Man Utd supporter!
euroblue….can only mean you’re from europe because Chelsea aren’t able to win anything with the word europe in it….
Red-Manc i couldn’t agree more we all know it’ll get swept under the carpet and tiny tears will escape any ban and just get a slap on the wrist as usual after all he is eng-ur-lund captain – wonder how much roman paid for him to be that
“The Football Association will not be taking any action in regards to an alleged stamp by Chelsea defender Alex.”
WEEEELLL not only is there no fuss, but the tape is reviewed and cleared within 24 hours, I mean Rooney apologised to the guy and they both claimed it was an accident, …did Alex know Cahill was there?
Surprise Surprise !!!!
“the FA have decided to take no further action against Alex” What a fuckin piss take.
One paper today says that its because the British Bulldog is so passionate that these tackles sometimes occur and “fair play” that he didn’t leave the pitch without apologising to Osman. JT you are a hero, a true hard man and an inspiration to all in football.
Not really you are a horrible, dirty, cheating, cockney, rentboy cry baby cunt who is not fit to wear a captains armband let alone play alongside Rio for eng-ur-lund!
Over at Goal.com there is a story of Wenger reacting to what Graham Poll said about how ref’s give special consideration and treatment to the Captain of England…..
No fucking shit you moron, tell us something we don’t know….
Just this second watched Sky Sports News and just heard Arsene Wenger express his disgust at Graham Poll, who apparantly said that referee Phil Dowd should not have sent off John Terry last night as he is the England Captain. Unbelievable!!!! That means Keith Hackett will probably get that red card rescinded just like the one for hauling down Jo of Man Citeh. When you get cunts like that making comments then there is no hope for anyone. If he was refereeing the game last night he probably would of given him 3 yellow cards.
Fuck off EuroBlue you rentboy cunt.
Nought will be done about the Alex stomp which was deliberate and going on past history Terry will escape punishment once again

Quick summary:
There was some good news for Scolari on Tuesday as the Football Association confirmed that Brazil defender Alex won’t face disciplinary action for a stamp on Everton midfielder Tim Cahill.
A statement from the Football Association said: “Referee Phil Dowd confirmed to the FA today that he had not seen the incident at the time.
“He was subsequently requested to view footage of the incident. Having done so, Dowd informed the FA that, had he seen the incident, he would not have shown Alex a red card. On this basis, the FA will not be taking any disciplinary action.”
–
Down with Phil Dowd, I say. Someone’s on the CSKA London payroll. Much as I love United, I think Ferdinand should be captain for both club and country, since one of them spends half a season on the injury bench, and the other spends his season getting himself redcarded and yelling at refs. Shame that the only logical successor to the vice-captain position of England has to be Liverpiss’ golden boy. Shame.
Ah, if only Rooney kept his temper in check and were more selfish with the ball. A captain and vice-captain both from Mancunia.
No video footage of Evra punching someone-The FA rules he definitely punched someone and ban him 4 games.
Clear video evidence of Alex stamping on an Everton player-FA gives the all clear, certainly couldnt have stamped him when he 100% certainly stamped him…
You’re wasting your breath calling the F.A. a joke, ’cause we know nothing’s going to be done about it.
Good on Dowd for having the balls to send Terry off, when so many other refs would’ve capitulated.
Good on Three-Yellow-Poll for being his thick-cunt self and not engaging his brain before opening his mouth so that we can finally confirm what we already feared.
Oh, and fuck the England NT (the fewer English players we have representing them, the better). Fuck the fans who stand up at matches with nowt good to sing but anti-United songs. Fuck the knobhead England fans who look for scapegoats (mostly in United players) rather than admit their team’s shortcomings (i.e. that they’re shit). Fuck the Little England ignorance, fuck the racism. Fuck the lack of appreciation. Bunch o’ cunts.
YCSYFEUYA, United > England.
Haha, well in Ryan, sums it up perfectly.
I still want to see the incident.
Has anyone come across this video yet?
“a Chelsea player plants his studs in to a man on the deck, no two ways about it, and totally slips under the net?”
Have you people seen this incident?
Alex was shadowing the ball to Cech when Cahill slipped and bumped into the back of Alex, he attempted to jump/step over him and accidentally clipped him at which point he reaches down and helps Cahill up before shaking his hand and patting him on the back.
Yep, extremely violent, murderuous, disrepectful stamping indeed.
I am only surprised that he didnt spit on him as well and then cry about it after.
I bet in the post match talk they all got together around a box of kleenex and shed a few tears.
When chelsea get to O.T. this season everyone should take a box of tissues and throw em on the ground for terry when they lose so he has a few handy to wipe up his lack of self control pouring out his big girl eyes.
That rentboy cunt seems to have pissed off now. Well said themarkedman72. Perhaps we should lay down some banana skins in his path so he can end up on his arse all over again. rentboy
“Alex was shadowing the ball to Cech when Cahill slipped and bumped into the back of Alex, he attempted to jump/step over him and accidentally clipped him at which point he reaches down and helps Cahill up before shaking his hand and patting him on the back.”
Laughable by name, laughable by nature.
Someone really ought to teach these JCL rentboys the rules of football before they’re allowed to come parading on to United blogs showing themselves up.
Haha liked that, since I won’t be at Old Trafford for the Chelski match I hope to see tissues and banana skins thrown at Terry all shown on TV channels.. I can see the headlines afterwards “Man United supporters escape punishment from the FA for throwing (dirt) at England super captain JT” they wouldn’t mention why banana skins and kleenex
fuck the f.a
Different rules for different fools
John “i want my mommy” terry the supposed “inspirational” leader does what many people say about him and that’s to inspire his weak ass players to fuck up the other teams players knowing that the bitches running the best league in the world the fa wont do a damn thing about it. Abromovich must be so proud of his boys I think his mafia culture must finally be rubbing off on the cunts. Oh how I wish those bitches can come to OT so we can kick some ass then use their tears to water our pitch.
Chelsea are a team full of thugs & Terry, Alex, Essien, Mikel are the onces that comes to mind. I hope the FA ban & fine them till eternity AND the English media reports the stories on its front pages.
The victim and the judges have spoken that Rooney will not be punished what is there anymore to talk about. As for John Terry is concerned he had escaped many times for rough tackles but Refree seems to ignor it for the sake of being an England captain. Feel free to watch Chelsea previous matches and decide fpr yourself.
