Man City v Man Utd (Sat, 12.45 kickoff)

Spiritoftheseventies

Fair play to Mancini. Gave a no nonsense interview. And again Fergie saying United deserved to win the game. Again he just tends to have this blinkered view of games sometimes.

I have to say I was very pissed off with Rooney's antics today.

He laboured around and moaned like a spoilt kid, kicked out at De Jong (yellow card anyone?!), and got Kompany booked with a nice display of the sort of antics the likes of Gerrard are accused of week in, week out.

I think the literal translation of this is something like 'boo boo wah wah sour grapes cries'.

Mr Alan

did ferguson really say that Rooney got up so quickly after the card was brandished cause he didn't want the player to be sent off?

To keep going right until the end and push for the win like that is surely deserving of something. They in fact did score so therefore deserved to win

He wasn't running around as much as usual because his ankle can't be 100% better, he missed de Jong, who went down like a sack a spuds and Fergie said on MUTV that Rooney was hurt in that collision and he got up quickly because he thought Kompany was gonna be sent off, that tackle was the main reasoning why Rooney got taken off.

That is such nonsense from Fergie. My goodness!

United scored 1 times, City scored 0 times. Therefore United did deserve to win.
It's simple maths.:D

Ya'd swear he tried to headbutt him or something, yes, he swung out a leg with no intention of getting the ball but it wasn't a full force kick or anything Jerry Flannery-esque.

He wasn't even booked despite kicking out.

That's ridiculous, no matter what the game or player involved.

It's good that you can take a post at face value and answer reasonably.

Maybe go back and read my post in this thread before that one before you spout your shite.

Good man

In fairnest though, managers cannot really come out against their own players. Rooney's acting was a little awkward to watch as a United supporter. I thought he did it to wind up Citeh

Oops, eh forgot the most important part.:o
He said that's what Rooney told him.

Pro. F

Scholes you beauty!! Ahhh I fùckin love that

...ok calmed down a bit now...
It was a muck game tbf. The two teams were relatively evenly matched. United had the better defence and City had more attacking options. Both teams failed to impose themselves in the centre.

Even with all the accurate passing Scholes was putting around from deep, Fletcher and Gibson just aren't creative enough to play together (and Gibson shouldn't be playing at this level anyway). Rooney had a very tough time of it today. I'm sure his injury was holding him back, especially later in the game, but the real problem was the lack of creative support he got.

But sure we know about United's midfield problems. The bottom line is we've kept our slim chance of winning the league alive and we've made City and Carlos cry again. Good day!

Yes but if you look at the two clear chances City had in second half, you could argue City should have. Maybe United were the more clinical of the two but I think Citys ineptitude in front of goal is what angered Mancini so much

FFS, how did Unitd not deserve the win exactly?
Shading the first have and dominating the second.
A bit of non-bias from ABUs would be nice sometimes.

UnitedIrishman

To be honest, if I'm a striker and I've just got kicked around the place for half the game and I get a late kick on my ankle from behind, I'm milking it. It's different if I don't get kicked at all and fall about the place.

If a referee isn't going to give me anything previous to that, why should I get up and let him off with it? It's a Derby, we don't like each other, he doesn't owe anything to him.

As for the kick on Kompany, yeah it should have been a yellow. More so because it was such a stupid kick out at him rather than a vicious kick.

Nothing to do with bias. Yeah United took their chances, and City didnt. But on another day City might have put them away and I dont think anyone would have complained about the result had city won

United were the better team, especially second half. I have no idea what you're on about, as ever.

City as the home team with 4th to play for didn't show half enough ambition to win it and then failed to track Scholes for the winner.

They got what they deserved, which was f*ck all.

Mr Alan

should City have had a peno for the Barry incident in the second half? certainly looked like it in the replay.

Not at all. He made a pigs ear of the chance and then went over way too easy.

Plenty - Tevez played and didn't score.

I'd have thought that was obvious.

No.

He got what he deserved for not pulling the fucking trigger.

Mr Alan

he may have gone over too easy, but he was kicked.

Looked like a complete dive to me.

Mr Alan

there was definate contact.

Just in from the pub and I'm ****ing hammered!

So much so that I need to ask ye if ye are seeing the numbers on the jerseys backwards like I am on this video.

What a goal by Scholes. The only time I really remember him going forward in this game and he scores!!

I swear the pub I was in went ape. Some lad made a jump over a chair that a horse wouldn't make over a fence in the grand national, flattened himself on the tiled flloor but such was the adrenalin, he didn't give two ****s. Unreal!!

Ah, I'm over the ****ing moon!!!!!!!

So rooney making a meal of it is terrible, but de jong making a meal of the tap he got off rooney is fine. Nice double standards there.

I love people trying to poke holes in our win, whinge at this and that, and to be honest I really don't care - we won!

Yeah probably was but he didnt do himself many favours to be honest before and after tackle and to be fair he didnt make that big deal about it.

Wat are you jabbing about-i wanted United to win. I'm not poking holes in anything, just discussing the game.

A fair point.

The lack of a booking for Rooney is baffling though, whether he made contact or not. Kompany was at least yellow carded for the ankle tap.

This th Barry incident? Definitely contact but certainly not. enough to take him down dive imo, no way a penalty.

4th presumably.

Mr.Nice Guy

I thought Rooney looked quite frustrated today. As if he knew he wasn't quite sharp enough to make an impact. He looked to me about 70% fit today. Didn't seem like he was relishing the occasion like he usually does.

He should have been booked for his kick in the first half and he did look like he was trying to get a reaction from the City fans by hopping up quickly. Sometimes in games against Everton or City the red mist does seem to come down on him. I'd say Fergie was monitoring him closely.

No way do I think City merited a penalty for what happened to Barry. He was looking for it.

Its 'mirrored' because showing copyright material in such a manner makes it perfectly legal.

You'll have to resize it though, with the way the vigilantes are around here, it'd last about an hour before being too big.
