It's getting sad the way Refs blatantly support the Red team at Old Trafford.

Last season it was dubious penalty decisions for Utd and none against opposition, except when Spurs were four (4) goals down and it was ten minutes or so left on the clock. This season it's sending off players in a grand slam match. First Chelsea, now Pool, both very dubious decisions.

I wonder when the FA would actually be bold enough to probe the club and its relationship with officials. Or maybe the FA is part of the whole game plan.

Sad! Sad! Sad!

Am disappointed by your comment, The guy deserved the second yellow card. Ok why are you not complaning about Torres Yellow card?
Is it not the same offence they committed? Why his is the talk of the town now is because he has one yellow already. He is stupid to challenge
the ref, did you see the distance he covered to get to steve bennett? Don't be biased in your footie discussion its one of the problems gooners have though you are not one of them.
They have their captain in Gerrad to talk to the ref not the whole players. He know quite well that he has yellow already why challenging the ref.
He has himself to blame not the ref.
Moreover on the 16th of December Scholes collected red card, was that not grand slam? But we still carried the day. You cant take anything away from the squad SAF brought out against them we deserve the win by a greater gaol margin if not the wastefulness of Rooney.

Presido
I have seen a lot of players get away with that. The only exception to this rule is when Chelsea does it they get unnecessarily punished.

They should be a clear and consistent principle if not a rule for every player. Not just for those playing against Utd or with Chelsea. The ref would have just told him to step away. He was hardly violent and did it at the thick of the moment. It was purely reactionary and you know it.

Which match do you refer to where Scholes was sent of?

@ somze
guy, guy, guy dont do this, i know ure smatter than this, man, if u watched the match and u want to be truthful, mascherano did more than enuff to deserve the red card, if u read his lips you would see that he said "f&%k off" more than 10 times, he did it earlier and refs are now coming tough on referee dissent, MASCHERANO ASKED TO BE SENT OFF!!!

Then lets see the same punishment for all players and teams not just as a reason to send of opposition at Old Trafford.

Lets see it for Rooney, for small teams playing small fixtures. Lets have consistency.

Somze
The rule of the game is that only the captain has the write to talk to the ref in such incident. Nobody except Arsenal of Chelski fans blamed the ref for the red second yellow. If nobody complained about Torres yellow card i dont see any reason somebody should complain about Mascharinos. FA want to stamp out such rubbish in English footie. Although refs make bad decisions most of the times but this one today was absolutely spot on. He can't cover such distance to challenge the ref and go away with it. Watch out FA might land him more ban if care is not taken. Did you hear what Andy Gray and Rednapp said during half time analysis?. Maself don't like Steve bennett cos he is one of them refs that blow against man United most of the times.

Anfield game btw Liverpool and Man United, scholes was sent of or did you not watch it. When he tried to slap Alonso, was that not part of the Grand slam?

Presido1
Please what year was that match.
I can't quite remember the events, if you have a link that would be great

Besides raising your hands against an opposition player is a direct red card. Now you said trying to slap, what does trying mean?

The rule of which game says only the captain should come forward? Is it a principle or a rule? What are the consequences of breaking the rule? Who takes action? The Ref or the FA? I am asking this because in Chelsea's cases we've been hit hard by the FA for so called "failing to control players". Now in this case, the player was sent off by the Ref, isn't that inconsistent?

As far as I can tell, there exist so much inconsistency with the current nature of this principle and it was unnecessary for the Ref to act on it in such a game.

The FA should come out clear and explain themselves except this is a rule for Man Utd or one against just Chelsea.

The Scoucers tasted a bit of what a deadly United Side can do. Even with all the missed chances we still pushed three pass them Men I love that Nani Rooney tee up for the Third Goal. It was a great one and should be a good one for goal of the season  

@ Assanal
From First to Second and then Third
Maybe soon you will bragging a UEFA cup place with them Everton
Kpelee to ya all

Now the Title now boils down to a fight between Man U and Chelski


Where are them Utd
Cassiel, Jackal, etc!!!

Happy Easter to all Man Utd fans and Footie fans in general

ONE UTD!!!

With 2 players offside during the build up to Chelsea's
equalizer, I don't think you should be talking.

Javier deserved to be sent off. He showed dissent not
once, but twice.

He was not involved in the Torres booking. He ran 25 yards
to contest the decision. Steve Bennet waved him off and he
stayed put.

I've seen that result in a booking more than a thousand times.

Thank goodness United had scored before the incident. You
would have said the match would have ended goaless.

Som
The sending off was not on grand slam, i have cross checked. But the fact remains that javier deserves his second yellow. Ok what offence did Torres commit before getting his yellow card?. Check out the poll on sky.com 69% have voted in favour of the second yellow.
You guys should quite all these game of Man United is being favoured. Last three seasons when chelsea was on top of their game, the gossip around is that RA was buying the FA over everything now its man United is buying the FA.

How can Man United buy the FA when the board is constituted from diff club supporters in England. Its unthinkable ma broda. Come up with another argument. The refs i believe makes mistake on their own not that anybody buys them.

Presido
I just want to see some consistency. Is that too much to ask?
Lets have a clear rule, so everyone . . . including people like me . . . can understand it and not raise eyebrows.
Do we only get to see this rule enforced against opposition at Old Trafford? Let the FA explain it.

Akinalabi
Do you know the rules of offside?

If I had claimed you 2nd goal was a fraction offside you'd have my head now. Tomorrow you'll call me biased abi?

Somze
If need to see the rules you should better contact FA. But believe me all those faults are from the refs.
To curb, FA should start placing Fine of the Refs or banning them for some games as was when ref gave chelski penalty
at Ansfield last year. Or did you not see that one? maybe the FA supports that penaltys well.
This argument came up now that you guys are on top arsenal. No mind game will bring us down.

Presido
Any ManUtd fan should be the last person to complain about dubious penalty decisions.

Where were you when Ronaldo was diving all over the place last season to hand you the EPL title. All Refs needed was to see him on the ground in the penalty area and we'd hear the whistle. On the other hand, opposition players never got to hear that same whistle after career threatening tackles were made on them.

Did you also fail to see Ronaldo's dive today inside the penalty area? How come he was not booked for that? That is a clear rule, if you dive you get booked but Steve Benneth some how failed to enforce that rule. The one he enforced was a clouded principle in favor of Man Utd. Torres was getting kicked around the place, when he complains he get booked for dissent which is just ridiculous.

How come Ferdinand was not booked either? Ronaldo was protected by the ref because SAF asked for it. How sad! We have a man sent off for questioning the refs wrong decisions. He did not use bad language he just ran over to him to ask him about his decision and gets sent off.

We need a whole new set of referees in the EPL. We are tired of these SAF boys.

Absolutely. I'm not a football newbie.

I insist 2 players were offside leading to Chelsea's equalizer.

I wonder o.

The ref on that day, Rob Stiyles had just finished work on
Abramovich's driveway before that game.

Like Pompey Vs Man Utd at Old Trafford?

Come on son. . . You aint got no point.

No chance.

Arbeloa kept Ronaldo onside the moment Tevez chested the
ball.

@ Akinalabi.

What are u on about?
United's 2nd goal resulted from a corner-kick. . . .  Can a player stay offside from a corner?
You shouldn't be caught DEAD arguing with a complete slowpoke. . . . . People that are watching United's games with blue-tinted glasses!!!!

Mascherano was mouthing off like a bitch. . . . He did so 5 times before the Torres incident.
You can confirm that in today's MATCH OF THE DAY. . . . His attitude to the ref after he got his 1st yellow card was appaling.
He ran almost 20 yards to ask Steve Bennett why he booked Torres . . . I mean, who does that?

Rooney is the most abusive player in Man Utd and he gets yellow card for his dissent.
However, once he is booked, he behaves himself or Fergie pulls him off before he gets anutha YELLOW card that can lead to RED.
I am tired of people saying United depends on referees to win games. . . .
Chelsea's equaliser was offside. . . Ashley Cole shouldn't have played today. . . should have seen RED against Tottenham on wednesday!!

@ Chacal,

I'm sure the lad was on about the move that led to the
corner kick. I was already getting irritated but I just
couldn't watch him mess the thread up with nonsense.

You can't have it both ways.

You can either talk like the area boys on the streets of lagos or you can approach issues maturely like a true analyst. If you choose to be abusive when we talk about issues then go ahead that way, don't try to be nice and abusive at the same time.

I don't know what kind of example you guys on this thread show to the rest of Nairaland. I read from one of you once that abuses show passion and makes the discussion fun. I wonder why I don't get to see the Sports Analysts on TV go around abusing rival analysts, fans or players. Now wont that be something to watch on Sky, DSTV or HiTV (depending on your location). Or maybe if we see couples abusing out each other in real life, we'd take it as an open display of how much passion they have for each other.

I don't remember ever using derogatory remarks about your views so at least I deserve the same respect. Besides my point would only be baseless if you can show against my message that there is a rule concerning players approaching the referee and this rule is in fact consistent. You and I know that no such consistency exist, so why should Bennet enforce it a grand slam fixture that by the way aid United's plight?

Mind your language bro.

@ somze,

If my statement came across to you as an insult, then I
take full responsibility. I APOLOGIZE.

Adddressing you as a lad is not derogatory in my reckoning.

It's like saying "that chap". Dictionary.net defines lad as A
companion; a comrade; a mate/friend.

@ Eldee,

I am getting predictable, i guess.
Never mind. . . . . I am becoming a Pastor in the next few days.

Errrrrm, how are u coping with the hangover?
