Blackpool v Manchester United Match Thread 25/1/2011

Bodhisopha

United did brilliant after the changes and there is no team in England that can pull something out of nothing like them. There is also no team in England that gets as many favourable game changing decisions as them either.

Those are the facts.

Surely Blackpool will stay up. Would be a big loss to the PL.

I do not particularly care but I can recognise that he was dreadful tonight and in general in Man U's favour. It seems that some others here do not recognise this.

Inspired subs.

Giggs was the turning point. He was awesome.

daveyboy_1ie

Some pathetic posting here, why is it the match threads get infested with such bitterness and stupidity?

Delighted with the result, deserved as although pool played well infirst half at least united tried, albeit badly. Second half united were awesome and could have gotten more if needed. Pool collapsed in the second half, tiredness hit them badly.

In retrospect: WHAT A GAME!

Blackpool are a credit to themselves, classy fans too; clapping Raf off the field.

We were shocking for the first 60ish minutes and I don't want to see that clown Gibson for a while, but Chico changed the game for us and Giggs was great towards the end, Berba's second goal was brilliant, great to see him have a largely frustrating game and still come up with the goods, the man is class.

Blackpool didn't have the legs to see it out, but United put together some great attacking play to exploit it.

Credit all 'round, fantastic game.

Hope Raf is ok, glad he has his brother with him at the hospital.

ShooterSF

A case of the tortoise and the hare here. Pool flew out of the blocks and took the lead but tired allowing United to steamroller them like a tortoise driving a steam roller.

J. Marston

So was there any gleeful rival fans in here ripping the piss at half-time?

Fecking brilliant result any early word on Rafael though?

jaykay74

a lot of bitter can't or cant nots here tonight. Munich stuff. :rolleyes:

Dave!

As predicted, the haters can't shut up about the peno decision. All I'll say is:


HAW HAW

Terrific comeback, the performance in the second half was fantastic. First half was diabolical. Pretty sure Fergie must have stabbed a youth team player at HT as a warning to the lads.

peterswellman

Anyone who makes reference to Munich is a scumbag. Simples. Talk about being that bloody low to use something like that over a poor decision. Lowest of the low, delighted to see how bitter people are. We are soooooooooo lucky. We've been getting lucky for over two decades now.:rolleyes:

Giggs was first class. Berbatov's second half performance and hold-up play was a joy to behold. Rafael is without a doubt the best right-back in the league. Get well soon kid. You've the potential to be the best in the world.

We'll never die.

6 incidents in 3 years, wow, I would say theres no chance that other teams havent benefited from 2 dodgy decisions a season . .

Birmingham goal and Rafael red v Spurs (ridiculous 2nd yellow) come to mind . .

And Im sure you wont conveniently forget the farce at stampford bridge (arguably a season defining match) last season whereby the ref stopped short of scoring for Chelsea. Rooney incorrectly offside through on goal, Valencia clearly fouled for peno and chelsea goal shouldnt of even been a free let alone not penalising drogba for fouling Brown. .

That nobody misses penalties against Man Utd


Great result for United tonight, Delighted they remain unbeaten,

and what a season Berbatov is having, even more delighted for him.

Mr.Nice Guy

The ABUs are so desperate to see United fail that tonight must have been a real hammer blow. They are desperate to see the team stumble and it's not happening. Rather than give credit to a team that keeps going they decide to blame the referees.

Well what about decisions that go against United? Are they not recorded for posterity? The recent game away to Birmingham for example where Bowyer's goal wrongly stood?

Funny how the ABUs never being those up.

Man United are the best of a bad bunch this season. Shame some fans can't give credit where it's due.

Berbatov is the top scorer. Nani leads the assists charts yet it's the referees that have the team top. Do me a f*cking favour.

He has history of it, there are just a few instances and they took me about 10 seconds to find. I am sure there will be many many more.

These match threads are bringing the worst out in me. 2 infractions in 2 weeks!

I like the way the only argument that can be used against us is the referees. Teams should try and beat us playing football...

I love the way Holloway has to pause and pace himself in the interviews in case he says what he REALLY wants to say in the wrong way!

I didn't even see the game but Blackpool were robbed and that ref should be hung out to dry and...

Nah, I won't go down that road. :pac:

jaykay74

I have to say I love Holloway

2155: Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has just told ESPN: "If that's not a penalty on Luke Varney then deary, deary me. Rafael makes no effort to play the ball at all, he wipes the player out, and it's a stone-waller. If we go 3-0 up, who knows? Saying that, what a team United are. The players they brought on, the way they came strong at the end, they are magnificent team. And my Blackpool aren't a million miles away from them, I'm telling you. As for Charlie Adam - he was magnificent tonight. He deserves to play at a higher level, I have to say that, because he is such a tremendous player, he really is. I just hope that we can hang on to him until the summer because I believe he could keep us up."

I thought the ref was fairly poor tonight. Delighted with the result.

Even more delighted at the mini-meltdowns on display.

Iago

Initially I thought it was never a penalty, but after seeing replays it was a clear penalty. I'm not sure how much of a view the ref had in real time but it's just another reason why we need to get video technology involved in the game.

3-0 I'm not convinced United come back in the same way, Blackpool would still have tired just as badly but it would have been a mountain rather than a hill to get over. tactics and team selection nearly cost us tonight, thankfully we got away with it.

I remember United lost 1-0 to Chelsea last season. In that game, some of the decisions against United were criminal and ultimatley led to us losing that game (6 point swing) and we lost the league by a point. . Very little was made of it and United (to all their credit) got on with it.

Now imagine roles had been reversed . . I think you get the picture.

No I don't have to admit that as I would be surprised if the decisions do not balance out over a season. Last year for example United lost a crucial game to Chelsea with a winning goal by Drogba that was clearly offside.

As I said though the ABU brigade forget decisions that go against United (too busy partying probably) but throw their toys out of the pram when decisions go for the team. They therefore have a skewed perception.

Chris Waddle by the way - who would hardly be biased for United - said tonight on commentary that he didn't think it was a penalty at first sight and only when he saw the replay did he see that it should have been a penalty.

Sorry but your talking rubbish there ,

United got off on one tonight with the peno, but as I said earlier on in the thread you win some you loose some .

UnitedIrishman

Super super result. I thought it was going to be another Burnley again but instead it was almost like the Fulham result a few years ago when Ronnie snatched the winner.

Giggs and Hernandez made an unbelieveable difference. Hernandez alone has repaid his transfer fee tenfold already - gem of a player to have.

Worries - we looked shaky in defence at times, particularly from set pieces; Gibson not up to the pace of our game at all; hopefully Rafael's injury isn't too bad.

Aside from that perfect result for us - a kick up the arse without losing and should deflate our rivals. Love the ****e people are coming out with on here.. "mwaaah ye get referee decisions nobody does.. like.. like 4 years ago..".

We're ****e and we're top the league!!

Edit: Must add, Blackpool deserve serious credit for the way they played. I haven't seen many full games of Charlie Adam but he looks a class act. I hope for their sake he hangs about until the summer.

You are delusional with this ABU crap.

There are no ABUs, there are fans of rival clubs that hate Manchester United like Liverpool fans. Its been like that for years upon years. Leeds fans, its been like that for years upon years. Chelsea fans, much more recent as they have been championship rivals for most of the last decade.

The referee did not make the call on a very blatant foul tonight. This is always going to lead to controversy.

Are you telling us the referee made the correct decision?

Anyways United did very well to come back and score 3 goals in the second half but the outcome of the game will always be questioned as that penalty should have been given. And I dare say that the same referee would have given it to United/Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool if it happened against them.

Dont forget the clearest penalty you could possibly see (Terry fouling Valencia) and Rooney called offside through on goal with nobody in sight (only to be proven an awful decision on replays) . .

There are no ABUs, there are fans of rival clubs that hate Manchester United like Liverpool fans. Its been like that for years upon years. Leeds fans, its been like that for years upon years. Chelsea fans, much more recent as they have been championship rivals for most of the last decade.

The referee did not make the call on a very blatant foul tonight. This is always going to lead to controversy.

Are you telling us the referee made the correct decision?

Anyways United did very well to come back and score 3 goals in the second half but the outcome of the game will always be questioned as that penalty should have been given. And I dare say that the same referee would have given it to United/Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool if it happened against them.

You do understand the term ABU don't you?

Anyone But United.

It would still fit into the category of Hating United.
