martyblues Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 great first half, and i don't support either side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 wasn't bad. United had far more chances. But Madrid will probably score first. I suspect keeping Rooney on the bench is for extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Pretender Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Looking forward to the exchange between SAF and the ref after the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well Manchester will be a happy city tonight after Real Madrids win but possibly many sad faces in Surrey, Ireland and China Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 True, very true. But it was a wrong decision to send him off. I didn't think it merited a yellow let alone a red. At least they'll have an excuse to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Laughed out loud this morning watching Muriniho saying that "the best team ........... lost" Wonder what the odds are for him to take over from Ferguson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Pretender Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Best team lost? Maybe but it was a pretty good display from Real away from home. The only time I thought they looked overly pressured was the last period when Manu had nothing to lose. Seems quite bizarre comments from Mourinho. Not sure what Real fans and players would make of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Didn't you see Mourinho and Fergerson chatting away during the match, just like old mates. When Fergie retires Mourinho will take over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Keano won't get the job now after agreeing with the ref, although he was probably correct. Bob :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M444TTB Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm not into football but was that really a red card? So far as I can see the ball wasn't in possession so he wasn't tackling anyone and certainly not in a malicious way; his eye appears to be on the ball the whole time and his foot is level with the ball. I can understand if a foot a live Xm high is considered dangerous and giving a yellow for it but a straight red?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Dont see how man U can complain regardless of the sending off , they had there chances , loads of 'em but couldnt find the net even when they had eleven overpaid morons on the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 A high foot is considered "dangerous play". It's all about protecting hugely expensive assets. However, would it have been an offence if there was no other player near? No. As Nani didn't see the other player running in on his blind side I wouldn't call it an offence at all. I get annoyed when obstruction is given when the offended player runs into the so called obstructer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
