Think you might have to change that signature of yours, Brown missed an absolute howler for Celtic earlier today.

Absolutley gutted for Paul McShane, hope it doesnt hurt his confidence.

Peyton Manning

Inspired substitution from Coppell. Bikey replaces Duberry in the 29th minute, scores in the 30th!

andrewie

Carvalho gone off injured, replaced by Glen Johnson.

Roar

5 yellows in the first half of reading charlton, carvhalo off injured along with duberry... sounds fiesty!

former cork city striker roy o'donovan on the bench for sunderland

The Rooster

Stokes, Daryl Murphy and Kieran Richardson all dropped from matchday squad by the Tinkerman! Roy O'Donovan on the bench, hopefully he'll get a run - the goal was supposed to be well against the run of play.

United all over Pompey in the first half. Campbell and Lauren both got injured in training this week. Harry has made two changes at the break, including unleashing Djimi Traore (Cranie off). Expect a complete turnaround

Thanx 4 The Fish

Well it's one each now, something must have worked.

was just about to say the same thing

since when is football played in the air? kick it on the ground ffs! to me - to you football. its like watching the chuckle brothers

Necronomicon

F U C K

Ronaldo sent off, straight red for an elbow apparently. Just after Muntari was sent off. Disasterous.

zAbbo

C. Ronaldo getting feisty and sticks the head on Richard Hughes

2129: RED CARD Manchester United
Mayhem at Fratton Park as United wait for a corner. Cristiano Ronaldo butts Richard Hughes and is giving his marching orders after a dose of hadbags in the box involving pretty much one and all.

Zapp Brannigan

Jaysus, feckin Chelsea. I was really rooting for Reading.

ntlbell

Villain

Sunderland do it again 2-2 and Utd drop another 2 points

eirebhoy

That Muntari fella has a crazy disciplinary record.

Oriel

Sven is God! I think Citeh are going to be this years "surprise" package of course everyone will say how a UEFA spot is least that they should have got come May....Good to see Man Utd stumbling so soon, Chelsea look like they'll down to bare bones on Sunday.

Mike.

eirebhoy

I'd say Terry will be fit by Sunday.

Roar

just watched sunderland on football first, because roy o'donovan made his debut, coming on for the last 20 on the right wing.

looked ok. he fouled colin doyle for the equaliser (both of them ended up on the floor after doyle saved chopra's free kick, roy held him down while stern john headed home. everyone in the ground seemed to see it except for the ref and linesman)

have to say didnt expect him to be getting a game so soon, but fair play roy kid!

eirebhoy

That was some save as well by Doyle when you see it in normal speed.

Johnson's goal for City was a gem. I just have a feeling by looking at him that he has a great career ahead of him.

Lex Luthor

Is that an automatic 3 game ban for Ronaldo? I thought it was 1 for a red card?
Here's hoping he gets 5

last time they failed to win their first two games, was back in 1999, we all know how badly that season ended up for them

The Rooster

My understanding is that its an automatice 3 match ban - unless he appeals and is successful. Also, something as serious as a headbutt could see an increased ban.

Did he actually head butt the lad? I only saw it once and it looked harsh to me......

I presume the "awful scenes" afterwards (the big mill!) will ensure a points decudtion for both teams

Lex Luthor

Sky Sports are saying he's facing a 3 games ban...not quite clear yet

Villain

It wasn't a serious headbutt in that contact wasn't that hard but he did make contact. Its weird a headbutt in the premier league is usually a 3 match ban where as if you do in a Junior league here in Ireland it's a years ban.

Wasn't he supposed to be loaned back to Cork for the rest of the season.

Chopra took his goal well, cushioned volley, gave the keeper no chance.

Colin Doyle looks like a good keeper too, great save just before the goal.

Good to see Stephen Hunt and Doyle combining well for Reading but I hope they don't run
out of steam with such a small squad. Maybe they'll get a couple more players in.

Some FIFA Rule that Cork City forgot to read. I wonder if they actually have a copy of the rulebook in the office there at all.

Anyway, the rule states that a player cannot move from to one jurisdiction to another, then come back into the jurisdiction from whence he came, on loan, for six weeks.

Or something.
