What the hell did Brown do to piss off Fergie?

Not even on the bench.

PHB

Harsh on Brown, alas.

Good team, good balance.
Anderson deserves his place after his midweek performance.
Fletcher deserves his place for his performance so far this year.
Good to see

Really suprised that Brown hasn't made the bench. He has been excellent. He's hardly p!ssed off Fergie has he?

Not sure about Fletch long term despite performances this year but games like Bolton will suit him down to the ground..

TK is injured.

PHB

I'm excited about this game, I think we may well just rip them apart [This post does not constitute tempting fate]

LuckyLloyd

Goal is coming.

PHB

Shocking miss from Muamba, shocking.

LuckyLloyd

Ye got away with murder there. Jeez.

Mr Alan

Bolton should have just scored open goal from 8 yards out

Chong

Yet another shocking game so far.

If Muamba wasnt crap it shud 0-1.

PHB

Bolton hitting United on the break. I'm happy with this, the game needs to open up.

LuckyLloyd

First 5 / 10 minutes of the second half will be so important. Bolton have defended well, weathered the few half chances - and finished strongly with a couple of their own. They'll be delighted with themselves in the dressing room during the break and talking about how they can do this, etc. Only natural that this can cause levels of mental concentration and focus to drop a couple of percent upon the resumption. I reckon Utd will get a great chance in the first 10 minutes - and if they take it then we can say gg Bolton. If not...

D.S.

United looking better.. but still not clicking yet.., Got away with murder with that Muamba miss..

A couple of options there. If you have Sopcast installed, the first one works. It's just a minute or so behind, which is a bit of a pain.

Dave!

ffs, can we get the act together this half? Like... maybe score a goal? Remember those?

Im_No_Superman

Muamba has been excellant first half bar his miss imo.

Chong

Tevez

Ronnie

Rooney

Thats what id rather see.

LuckyLloyd

A slight aside here, but did anyone catch the advantage Utd were just given from about 28 yards out? I would think that Utd would rather take the setpiece in that specific situation. Maybe there should be an option in those types of scenarios for a Utd player to be able to request the freekick with a shout to the ref. Rather than playing on.

LuckyLloyd

WOW

What a shocking ****ing decision.

PHB

That couldn't have been a penalty.

Ronaldo didn't even appeal for it!

Ruskie4Rent

Rob Styles has a lovely face.

bohsman

Harsh.

Frisbee

What a blatant dive...

internelligent

I want to vomit after seeing that!!

That's just a stupid statement. Ronaldo didn't dive, he was brought down by the Bolton defender. Everyone can see that. The issue is whether the player got the ball first, which he did, so its not a foul. But Ronaldo didn't dive, don't be silly.

eddiehead

Old Trafford Syndrome, lol, thats shocking

pvt.joker

nice dive by ronaldo! shocking penalty decision

D.S.

Not a dive.. but no way a peno.., Samuel cleanly got ball and man..,

LuckyLloyd

I mean that is pure bollocks. Bolton have executed their gameplan excellently and made no mistakes (no missed tackles, no failed run tracking, blocked their shots, defended well at setpieces, broke well a couple of times) and then they get ****ed up the ass by awful refereeing. Ridiculous. :mad:

grames_bond

ok as a united fan im delighted but as a football fan that was a shockin decision! theres alot of poor refeering in the PL lately!

edit: fans singin 1 nil to the referee-> pretty funny! :pac:

Fuzzy_Dunlop

PHB is right, he didn't dive. No way in hell it was a penalty though, shocking decision

Ronaldo could easily have kept his feet. As soon as contact with the ball was made he was on his way down

Chong

Ronaldo didnt dive Ref got it wrong simple as.

Shocking decision from yet another bad referee.

Thankfully we are winning. Wasnt a great crowd response to the goal.

pvt.joker

after having a closer look i think its a correct decision. The defender made contact with the top of ronaldos foot before the ball.

Mr.Nice Guy

Shocking decision but Ronaldo's not to blame. It was a clean tackle and the ref got it wrong.

No doubt we'll hear the whingers going on about how United get forty penalties at Old Trafford every season. :rolleyes:

Hobart

Lol, what a complete travesty. I can hardly say that I'm surprised...it being at OT and all that...total joke of a peno.

It wasn't a dive, it was just a good clean challenge. There was no claim from Ronaldo.

What's the point of a respect campaign if the refs can't earn it?

Oh cop on will you. For crying out loud. People will look for any excuse.

There's no way it was a penalty, not a chance. But right now, you're seeing things as poorly as Styles just did.

gixerfixer

FFS ref take Ronaldo **** out of your mouth. That is simply shocking. Verging on cheating IMHO.:mad: If he cant see that was a pathetic dive he has no business being a referee

~Rebel~

ffs what is it with referee's in england?! Its like every chance they get they just pull a decision out of their arse for the craic! Thats 2 games today marred by a ref's incompetency.

LuckyLloyd

Oh and, Ronaldo DID NOT DIVE. He didn't even appeal. Clean tackle, and Ronaldo went over from the impact of the ball being taken away suddenly. Comments along the lines that he cheated or whatever are lol.

Jesus.

And Uniteds last game as well, shocking reffing. It's just a poor standard.

Ridiculous statement., simply not a dive.., awful decision by the ref.., but Ronaldo isn't to blame here.., blame the ref not the player in this instance.

Chong

FFS Refs decision great tackle by Samual , Massive Fcuk up by styles not a Dive , quit the fcuking whinging.

Blame the ref he is a sham.
