Man utd v Chelsea Fa community shield

Headshot

head injury ref

your suppose to stop the game

whatawaster

poor goalkeeping from Foster there.

Ballack is a disgrace though

Soby

YEEEEEEEEES

Dont start moaning..Was a little body check yas got the advantage and lost the ball!!!!

SlickRic

good man frank.

awful defending.

difficult for foster but he could have been a lot stronger there.

edit: just saw the lead up, had left the room, ooooh contraversial...

Aidric

Blatant check from Ballack. You wouldn't expect anything less I suppose. Poor from Foster in any case.

Bubs101

Your not meant to stop playing. Chelsea did nothing wrong. Goalazzzzzzzzzzzzo

allybhoy

I dunno, hmm utd had the ball so ref played advantage, I think its fair game. I also what Rooney is moaning he has his back to it when Ballack shoulders him and there is no way he can see it, play the whistle lads.

jesus_thats_gre

I am biased but did Foster **** up again?

Chardee MacDennis

Andy Gray s the worst commentator ever, he just goes after the refs no matter what the decision. and he should know its up to the ref to stop the play...

Well moments earlier the ref stopped play to look at Ballack after a FAIR challenge and gave a hop ball. Why would you not do this when their has been a foul committed and a player is still down in trouble? Just because you played advantage you don't check on injured players? Also, I think i'll have to revise foster's position as my keeper in FF

so where was the advantage?

Ref stopped the game for the Ballack 'injury' mere minutes before.

Disgraceful

Jesus here comes the cavalry:P

Giggs Owen Scholes and Fabio on

I dunno why it will, It was a free yes, but ref played advantage! Utd lost the ball and Chelsea subsequently scored, no arguement.

MagicMarker

4 subs!! Giggs/Scholes/Owen/Fabio!!

Fab 4?

giggs coming on to boss the midfield again

He's such a hypocrit. All last season he was saying "Why do they keep playing the ball out when someone goes down? It's the ref's job to stop it and not the players"

Absolute hypocrit.

Good save by Foster there..... first time for everything today.

Will Owen grab you the equaliser?

MagicMarker

Great save!

Hope it stays like this - I predicted 2-1

Utd had the ball, if they were worried about their player they should have kicked it out of play themselves, not Chelsea's job to do that. Im impartial here lads, couldnt give a hoop either way who wins but I think it was a perfectly legitmate goal.

Advantage was gone..You's are saying its a head injury and shoulda been stopped if Utd scored from the advantage but the ref ruled it out and called it back cause of the injury people be ferious too...Ah feck it its a mickey mouse game..Lets save it for the rest of the season:D

you didnt see last seasons game

LuckyLloyd

I love the way Bosingwa always goes to shake hands after hard one on one battles for the ball. That's the way it should be played - tough without malice.

ferdi

deco on, wha?!

SlickRic

yeah...in the end it's not that controversial.

utd were worried about it once they lost the ball. all teams do it, but i hate it when teams give out about putting the ball out only after they lose it.

a real pet hate of mine.

JP Liz

Ok i'l say it MU are missing Ronaldo

Evra got some payback on Ballack :rolleyes:

allybhoy

Here goes Rooney again straight up to the ref, then calls the linesman a Cnt, great role model.

That_Guy

Evra...... ah tbf he won the ball.

Booked for intent moreso. If he didn't win the ball Ballack could have got seriously injured.

SlickRic

why the hell didn't rooney shoot 18 yds from goal?

MagicMarker

Has Giggs even touched the ball?

allybhoy

Jesus, Poor Kalou looks so skinny, alot lighter than last season IMO. He mustnt be getting a look in in the canteen with Lamps, seen more meat on a coat hanger.

You've shown previously that you don't know anything about football, but pray tell what was wrong with that tackle?

That_Guy

Oh dear...... Booking for Owen.

SlickRic

nice one ref.

That_Guy

Wait a mintue........ When the hell did Deco come on?
