Mike Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Seriously, can we not call them ManUSA? It's fucking silly man. I admire neesy's persistence with calling them that, and no-one else doing the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I did originally say I thought Dowd was doing well, but yeah, how they were just yellows is beyond me really. Suppose he's doing what they always do in the 'big' games. Don't want to 'ruin' it so they give them a bit of leeway, just cautioning them rather than unevening it all very early in the game. Not saying that's the right thing to do at all, though. makes you wonder whether the refs have special instructions for these games to let more go for the "audiences" Yup, clearly an unwritten rule, like.

Not saying that's the right thing to do at all, though. Know you don't personally advocate this, but that mentality is the epitome of bollocks IMO. Referees are either there to apply and enforce law, or not. They're not employed to increase the spectacle of a "big match". Absolutely. I remember the CL final where Lehmann got the red straight away, and the commentators spent the rest of the game moaning that it had ruined a 'great spectacle'. It's the letter of the law ffs.

Tooj Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Btw, this is the kind of game whereby Man Utd are really missing somebody like a Roy Keane or Bryan Robson. Somebody to drive the team forward, win every tackle, inspire others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody to drive the team forward, win every tackle, inspire others. I actually disagree. They're rarely in this position. They're just missing the foundations - Vidic and Ferdinand - which is why their defending has been nervy. People say this about the current Arsenal team as well - that they're missing somebody like a Vieira to drive them forward - but one of these two teams will win the league this season and that's enough. I think Man Utd will go pretty far in Europe as well (unless they run into Barca or Real). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when Barca beat them in the Champions League final. Rooney's not the type of player to drive a team forward anymore either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
