Scholes is Charged

Villain

Scholes charged with violent behaviour over Doriva spat

Paul Scholes has been charged with violent behaviour by the FA for his two-handed push in the face of Middlesbrough midfielder Doriva.

The incident, which occurred during Middlesbrough's 3-2 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on 11 February, was not seen by referee Paul Durkin who was facing in the opposite direction.

But the Football Association has studied video evidence and decided to charge Scholes, who has until 5 March to respond.

I think the same can be said for supporters of any team. There is already a thread similar to this one and loads of Man Utd fans have posted it on it. I didn't see the incident but I'd imagine it sounds like a justified charge.

So Scholes deserves all the bad publicity he can get because of something utd fans do. Makes sense like most of your unbiased comments do

No it wasn't hard at all.

I wouldn't believe too much of the AbU brigade here Big ears who see any support of Manchester United as being blinkered. I am far from a the blinkered Utd supporter that others like to portray me and can be critical of them when I think its merited.

In this instance scholes appeared to strike an opponent which is out of character fro him but if he is guilty as charged he deserves his punishment provoided its the same as otheres have recieved for the same offence.

Aliminator

but if he is guilty as charged

this is what we non-utd supporters are talking about. IF? it was bleedin obvious he punched not once but twice. at least arsenal held up their hands and said we were wrong properly. to fight the charge is just another show of audacity by ferguson.
it may be out of character, but everyone has their bad days. just own up and don't be such a....(insert appropriate word here)
at least be honourable.

well said aliminator
