I agree with you there, but players have to go down these days. If Rooney had've rode the challenge but lost the ball the ref would've given nowt.

I've only scene the decision once but I doubt if Usain Bolt could have retrieved the ball as it was already in the stand before Rooney went down. There was no way he had the ball under control when or if the collision was made but he probably made the decision to simply shift the ball as soon as he saw the rapidly advancing (and unstoppable) keeper.

Guest Brummiemag Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Just got back from the Challenge Cup Final Warrington beat Huddersfield. Great atmosphere down there, everyone pissed up but no trouble - one great tradition I think is that neutrals down there for the game wear their own club colors so there was Rochdale Hornets fans, Workington Fans, Castleford Fans etc. Really good and probably has a more working class fan base fan base than football these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I remember when Gateshead Thunder were in Super League, we were always mixed in with other fans but there was never any bother. There was a few verbals with Hull fans but never went further than that. Oh, and the Saints fans were a bit twatish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I actually think the fact City have played 1 or even 2 games less than everyone else is helping them so far. All the attention is drifting towards Spurs instead, which for the first month or so at least might allow City just to plod away winning their matches almost unnoticed.
