Manchester United Thread

Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Just seen the teamsheets. If United are genuinely playing with only one recognized central midfielder - AGAINST CHELSEA - than I have no idea what Fergie's playing at. Truly bizarre.

Nice pass by Carrick to Giggs. Man, Torres just really doesn't seem to play like a world class strikes every time I see him in a Chelsea top.

lol clear penalty the foul on Ramires.. or do all referees have other rules for United...?

I was going to ask why a Liverpool fan is instantly posting to the United forum, but then I remembered it's a Champions League night :p

Yep, definite pen. Just like the one they got in the league wasn't a pen. Or the one in the semi against Arsenal wasn't a pen, when Fletch then missed the final.

Oh wait, those are decision against United so they don't count right? Or...it could be decisions balancing themselves out...?

Also, no one will mention it but Torres should have been booked for a dive in the first half, so should have walked for 2 dives. Classy lad.

I'm actually pretty worried we're going to get spanked tonight. I'm 100% sure that Torres is going to score. In fact, I'm going to go put a fiver on it :)

search this thread and you find not more than maybe 10 posts from me mate...

first before you say something, check the things you say if they are true..

i talk about this particular decision, i don´t know about the others since i don´t watch united matches except when they play LFC ;)

second, i realy don´t care about your club that much honestly, i just think this was penalty and i say this just as neutral would say...i don´t mind you or chelsea win tonight.. as i follow LFC..i just can´t figure it out what rules work for United and what for other non-united teams lol..
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

And every Man Utd fan will say it's a penalty, it's just a refereeing error, we've had enough go against us at Chelsea, so it's hardly one rule for us.

I'm joking of course, we paid the ref off weeks ago.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

About fucking time we got a refereeing decision in our favour against the Chav$.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Very pleased with the result, rode our luck a few times (the clearance off the line, and the penalty decision), but we were good for the win. Was nice to have a full strength back four, even if they didn't last the game :P

Pleased to say Carrick had a good game, even dared move with the ball on occasion, our midfield is often too static and we suffer from it. Rooney scores and you just knew he would after this week.

Hehe, sorry I was teasing a bit - realise that gets missed in the ole internet thing. I've watched quite a few Pool games in Europe this year too. Just love teh football tbh.

Definite pen. No denying it whatsoever. Pity in a way, cause the ref had been alright til then, and it wasn't a talking point. Now the ABU crew will be out in force.

Do you realy think this, as i think Liverpool games in europe this season were just awfull..especialy away matches...one of worst i seen to be honest..

yeah whatever, i don´t have nothing against United, hope the better will win, just i feel bad becouse of referees bad decision ruine football...as well as in world cup (the goal of Lampard for example) and everywhere...it continues without anyone care about in FIFA or UEFA...
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

So what does that do for the return leg if Chelsea win 2-1?
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Feels good to be given a decision against a Chelsea at SB. Now they know how it feels. :D
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Roon's out for FA cup semi final. Real pity, as he's finally finding some form.

And for all those still confused, he is officially the only player to ever be given a ban (2 matches nonetheless) for foul and abusive language. Unprecedented.

One rule for United.

Really :SS doesn't the fact we scored in both legs ATLEAST get us into extra time or does their 2 away goals rule out our 1 and 1 each
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

LOL....................you just started watching footy?

I was more interested watching the Celtic game but had one eye on this, Man U played really well. Terrible decision re: penalty, as blatant as you'll get.

Still in the balance though.

Beachryan - On my post about my little girl, you shouldn't take everything so serious as you seem to be doing on here, it was a joke. I've not even saw/heard it yet, just going on press reports. ;)

i like this :)

massive result last night. carrick's best performance for a couple of years, my man of the match closely followed by vidic and ferdinand.

just read the fa have upheld rooney's ban, crazy. if we win tne league and a cup or two then looking back on the fa's actions will make it all the sweeter for united fans :)

Isn't that the truth. Fair enough, again, missed the tongue in cheek-ness of over the internet!
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Yeah, I don't like the away goals rule one bit, but it is pretty simple! Just think of away goals as being worth 1.01 goals. Then it's easy (and unless a two-legged tie gets to 100 goals, you're sorted!)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

I don't get why im getting stick, We won 1-0 last night, Chelsea win 2-1 at Old Trafford which leaves the tie 2-2 but Chelsea are through which seems a bit harsh.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Think of it this way: In the event of a draw after 2x 90mins, away goals count as double.

So if Chelsea were to win 2-1 next week, it would effectively be 4-3 to them.

Same if Spurs were to beat Madrid 5-1. The result would be 5-5, but as Madrid had scored 1 away goal (to Spurs' none), it would become 6-5.

Hope that helps?

The away goals rule has existed for donkeys years though. Surprised you are surprised by it. Be it fair or not.

Away goals don't exist in the Playoffs in UK but can't think of many other tournies that scrap the rule.

Where you been hiding since you've been born??? :)
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

Extremely pleased with the result. In fact, more pleased with a United result that I have been in a long, long time.

I just didn't expect us to win at all, still fully expected it to follow the pattern of every United-Chelsea match since the dawn of Abramovich, we start well, sometimes grab a goal and then they dominate, but in fairness it was pretty equal.

Bloody nice to see a shocking decision go our way for once at Stamford Bridge. Unbelievably blatant penalty on a Chelsea player, at Stamford Bridge, and it didn't get given? I nearly died and went to heaven. Evra needs to sort himself out though, he's losing it this season.

Anyway annoying I'm confident now about the second leg, and whenever I'm confident about United, it doesn't end well.

No bro.

Jamesey explained it well.

In the event that the aggregate result is tied after both legs, then the team that has scored more goals AWAY from home will go through and although not that fair, I like this rule. It does encourage more attacking displays away from home rather than teams just sitting back soaking up pressure and hoping to take match to 2nd leg when they're at home since it can play such a big role in qualifying to next round and often has in the past.

So yeah if Chelsea were to win 2-1 at Old Trafford, they would go through.

Similarly if Shakhtar could hammer Barca without conceding a goal (4-0) then they would go through because of that 1 goal they scored in Camp Nou as opposed to Barca's none.
 
Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.

What I hate is that away goals count in extra time, meaning the away side in the second leg gets an extra half an hour to score an away goal.

Liverpool got knocked out of the Europa League last season in this fashion.

You got a decision against Chelsea in the CL, not much of an achievement for any club.

Anyway that probably sounds bitter so let me make clear that your win was absolutely deserved and I'll be very surprised if we somehow go through now. IMHO you could have got another one had you not respected us in the second half.
