la furia: when toress got sent off, fergi said toress dived and should have stood up, man u fans defended the decision. kompany got a red card against man u in an FA cup match last season, he won the ball completely, no injury to nani, nani was still standing trying to win the ball back, suddenlt the ref gave kompany a red card. kompany went for d ball, won the ball but accused of dangerous play, and off he went.was nani play dangerous or not?Every team benefits from from refree's mistakes. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and some other teams have all benefited from refree's mistakes. Vicent Company was never sent off during Man city game against United. Who has the most penalty kicks in the EPL this season? It is Chelsea. The decision has been taken and there is nothing anybody can do about that. Why this discussion is coming up is for us to say the refree made a mistake in that decision and move on. It is those Man United haters who always shout and complain when Man United benefits from such mistakes. Real Madrid has benefited from two mistakes from the refree in two subsequent matches now ( penalty turned down against Barcelona and this red card against Man United). When it goes against them at another time, they shouldn't complain. 1 Like |

Yes,it was well deserved!!! He hit someone on the chest with his studs for crying out loud. . .It could have stopped the Arbeloa from breathing. No one knows how serious it is unless you're in the medical field. I think the referee made the right decision 2 Likes |

What most people fail to realize is the reff really took his time before reaching a final decision. So i am convinced that his assistants agreed with him on it. Scondly nani knows quite well that the attack is very fast and the way arbeloa intended to move with the ball it could prove deadly so he intentionally tried to prevent The sudden attack to allow his players to recover. |

The ref made the right call.Whether he meant it or not is irrelevant, It's dangerous play and that means a red card unfortunately.You have to be aware of other players on the pitch. Does Nani think he's going to have the whole field to himself? It doesn't matter if he knows there's somebody there or not, it's irrelevant. |
| Re: Was Nani's Red Card Justified? by Wantedmiller: 6:16pm On Mar 06, 2013 |
The question should be, why did nani raised his leg? Is not clear that he wants to get the ball before the madrid player. Some people are here saying that nani did not see the player. Some people don't deserve to be watching games again. |

dopeJemi: You are so correct. When the ball was cleared from United area into play, it was Nani's ball, no one saw Arbeloa until at the point Nani was to get his foot on the ball, all of a sudden Abeloa ran into Nani causing a collusion for a ball in flight. It wasn't like Arbeloa had the ball before Nani arriv ed. It was a ball in flight that was dropping to Nani's foot for a cool control, but Abeloa's intention was to prevent Nani from going on a counter attack. No Madrid player even thought of a red card. Mourinho usually should protest if it was a bad tackle, but he didn't. When the red card was issued, Mourinho went to console Ferguson on the sideline. I am very sure lots of people who comment here didn't even watch the match. The video uploaded here also is abit misleading because of the angle from which it viewed the incident. If three other angles can be uploaded, people will see more why it shouldn't have been a red. 1 Like |

[size=13pt]The red card gave Sir Alex a perfect alibi. Great man manager, but average tactician, I have always maintained. When your team goes a man down, rightly or wrongly, you have to make a tactical change. He didn't!He moaned and pleaded with the fans to make more noise. It works in England. Against the best players it's a laughable tactic. He should have immediately taken off RVP who had been a passenger all nigh and brought in an extra midfielder. Jose said when jhe was at Inter that in England they play with their hearts and in Italy and elsewhere they play with their minds. last night was a perfect example. Jose the tactician quickly changed his plan to bring in Benzema for Higuaim. Took out Aberloa who was on a yellow and would have been booed the whole night and brought in a creative midfielder. The rest is history-atleast in the rest of the world. Inter Milan lost a man to a dubious redcard at the camp nou in 2010 in the frist few minutes of the first half and still went on to win. Chelsea lost Terry and still went on to win at Camp Nou. I can go on.. Bottom line- Top teams with top managers do not concede 2 goalsin 12 minutes just becuase they lost a man. Alex's lack of tactical awareness cost them the game. Over the two legs they played like a small team that knew they were gainst a superior team (despite the claims that it was a clash of giants) and they went out like a small team- instead of playing lke a team that's leading the supposedly best league in the world by more than 10 points. Let's not forget, Real had 65% possession and no United player had no actual scored a goal before the sending off. For the record, yes another ref would probably have not given the red card but those of us who do not just watch the EPL see them given in Europe all the time.[/size] |

Frostyzone: This is what some pundits had to say; David Moyes has been tip as a future united manager, Didi Hamann may not get a job in England if he goes for Nani instead of against......... Look at Mourinho's comments do you think if that was Barcelona he would have the best team lost? He wants the united's job so badly |

[size=28pt]The law Fifa law 12, fouls and misconduct, states: "A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play." It clarifies: "Excessive force means that the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent."[/size] so can all of you now shut up and get ready for the fine coming from UEFA  |

baby-boy: What is in the video you are showing me? Does this relate to the vincent kompany argument or the match of yesterday? You are shifting argument illogically. The point is, City Vs United in November 2012 at Ethihad ended with 11 men, no one was sent off. Man United beat City in their home cleanly. United is record breaker and pace setter. The video you put up there is not this season. |

[b]CNN, A NEUTRAL BODY Real capitalize on controversial Nani red card to sink Man Utd  UPDATED: Mar 6, 2013 08:12 GMT Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner as Real Madrid beat 10-man Manchester United 2-1 Tuesday to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League 3-2 on aggregate after a pulsating match which turned on the controversial dismissal of Nani just before the hour mark. United had just gone ahead on the night through a Sergio Ramos own goal when the Portugal midfielder attempted to control a high clearance from his defense. But Nani's foot was high and his studs caught Real's Alvaro Arbeloa in his midriff as he moved forward to intercept the ball. Turkish referee Cuneyt Cak?r then stunned the Old Trafford by showing a red card to Nani as he recovered from the collision. Read: Should Ronaldo return to United? Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson charged down from his touchline seat to protest and as Nani eventually parted the field he was given a consolation pat by Real manager Jose Mourinho. It was the cue for Real, who had offered little in attack until then, to press forward and the man advantage soon paid in the 66th minute. Substitute Luka Modric found space outside the penalty box to unleash a curling and unstoppable shot past David de Gea, the highlight for sure of the Croatian's stuttering progress with the Madrid giants since his summer signing. Two minutes later and United's worst nightmare was complete as old boy Ronaldo, relatively quiet until then, connected with Gonzalo Higuain's clever cross to score at the far post. Ronaldo pointedly did not celebrate but his goal was decisive, meaning United had to score two more to progress. http://cnnmobile.com/primary/fullarticle?articleId=urn:newsml:CNN.com:20130305:football-manchester-united-real-dortmund:1&pagesize=10&category=intlsport&pageSize=10 [/b] |

baby-boy: Man United played better. Madrid played their best, they had to rely on referee assistance in both legs to get results. The first leg, Ramos should have been sent off for tackle on Evra. Evra was through with one on one with Madrid goalkeeper, but Ramos who was the last man brought Evra down from behind. That was a red card offence, but we never heard haters mentioned it. Yesterday, United were on course, better Madrid in tactics but referee had to kill the game. |

jimcaddy: you are becoming very irritating and persistent.. For the records, Nani's red card wasn't justified in my own opinion. Even Mourinho knows this.. The referee was just too du.mb to see dat.. You don't take decisions dat will ruin a game of that magnitude.. Am sure the game was like 'an ant which sees sugar' in the eyes of the ref.. If it was nigeria dis kind of thing happend, am sure the ref wuld be lying critical in Igbobi Hospital at the momentWhich igbobi? Do you have a short memory or you just pretending to forget what happened against chelsea earlier this season? If any fan is to point accusing fingers at refs it shouldn't be ManU fans. If u like cry from now till next year and wish you have the ref's blood sprinkled on your cereal for breakfast it wouldn't change anything. Go take a chill pill before you die for a club that doesn't know if you exist. Karma just kicked you guys in the butt and life remembered ManU that no one has the Monopoly of cheating others. |
