Weren't you crying your eyes out about Utd fans winding you up last week? If you don't like that, don't engage in it yourself.

Woah.

Theres a clear distinction between "haha utd" and criticising your deluded victimisation interpretation of the game.

I've already said Mings meant it, Arter should have gone etc.

I've been fairly even-handed.

Criticising that performance by Bournemouth is just toys out of your pram behaviour.

Oh Zlatan tried to stamp on him first.

Carragher is spot on about Tyrone Mings' reaction. That's why i think the stamp was intentional.

So Zlatan tries to stamp on Mings' arse. Mings stamps on Zlatan's head. Zlatan fires an elbow into Ming's head. Arter gets a Pogba shoulder into the jaw and is laid out but the referee is happy to play around him.

Cracking game of football.

Yep.

We should have been out of sight before half time.

I'm not even annoyed.

We had more than enough chances.

I said we would make a hames of this game after the Liverpool Leicester game and we didn't disappoint.

We do not deserve to finish in the top 4, not by a long shot.

The consistency of sides outside of Chelsea (slightly biased ) is crazy, nobody is able to put together a run it seems, especailly in games where youd reasonably expect a win.

Well done to the Cherries. Despite nearly everything conspiring against them, getting a point at OT is still something of an achievement, though not so much as it was in Ferguson's time. And they were well worth it, if only for their resilience when utd put the hammer on them in the second half.

City fans favorite word.

Yeah no doubt Zlatan stamps on him first but it his reaction makes me think it's not intentional

I can't believe you are being serious. Is that really how you saw that game?

In my honest opinion, yes. If you don't take your chances (as we know only too well from last autumn), you deserve what you get. You had most of the possession (to be expected at OT) and most of the chances. But you were wasteful. Missing penalties (as we know with Aguero) is wasteful, no other word for it. You obviously disagree with me, judging by your comments. Fine. I have no problem with that. It's all about opinions, after all. I'm not going to get into an argument with you about it. We could talk until midnight, and we still wouldn't agree.

Jose Mourinho - "I'm a football man, I don't like speaking about what happens after matches."

Meanwhile.

The referee was hopeless. The overall standard of officiating is as low as I can remember it, and I've been watching football for nearly 50 years now. Where do they get them from?

Mourinho being a very good boy indeed there on 5live

Just seen Utd have drawn 7 out of their 14 home games so far this year, thats really poor for a side like Utd.

Theyve 25 pts from 14 home games (5 left) and 24 points from 12 away games (7 left).

Theyve the 9th best home record and the 3rd best away record.

Awful refereeing and awful football from both sides

Looks like the myth of utd improving has been put to bed. Liverpool on their worst run in 67 years and they are still behind then.

To be fair being in 3 more competitions than Liverpool, winning one of them, might also have a baring on things.

Match Report on RTE

http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2017/0304/857205-united-remain-sixth-after/

Apart from ZLatan's elbow, seemingly Valencia has a whole different career going on :eek:


Zlatan Ibrahimovic's failure from the spot could be compounded by a spell on the sidelines, with the Football Association sure to look at the Manchester United striker's elbow and Tyrone Mings' stamp after 10-man Bournemouth secured a memorable 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Ugly scenes and poor officiating overshadowed a thrilling lunchtime encounter as Marcos Rojo's first ever Premier League goal was cancelled out by Josh King's penalty as the first half ended chaotically.

Andrew Surman received the first red card of his career - awarded once blundering referee Kevin Friend realised he had booked the Bournemouth captain twice - having reacted angrily to Ibrahimovic's elbow on Mings, who moments earlier stamped - inadvertently or otherwise - on the United striker.

The officials' report will make for interesting reading as neither player was shown a card for incidents that could well lead to retrospective action from the FA.

Referee Friend's display is also set to dominate column inches in the aftermath of a match Ibrahimovic looked set to win for United after Adam Smith was adjudged to have handled a Paul Pogba cross.

However, EFL Cup hero Ibrahimovic's spot-kick was saved by the impressive Artur Boruc as Bournemouth ended a four-match Premier League losing streak as United stuttered to a 10th Premier League draw of the season.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe's spirits will have been lifted by his players' display after spending the night up with a sickness bug.

A late arrival at Old Trafford, he may have feared the worst as Untied flew out the blocks and returning captain Wayne Rooney missed after 73 seconds.

An outstanding touch from eccentric goalkeeper Boruc prevented Pogba turning home a long ball from Luke Shaw, making his first league appearance in four months, before Anthony Martial was denied a trademark goal.

There was a verve about United's attack, but so too a wastefulness.

Rooney and Ibrahimovic transpired to spurn an opportunity from which the Cherries broke, with a slip preventing Benik Afobe - the scourge of United in his MK Dons days - rounding David de Gea.

It was one of few scares for a United side that continued to press, with Ibrahimovic and Martial continuing to threaten before the opener came through an unlikely source as Rojo reacted quickly to turn in Antonio Valencia's driven cross-cum-shot.

The 23rd-minute goal took the sting of United's attack as Bournemouth kept their shape if not their heads at times, with the visiting support making their frustration at the booking of Harry Arter and Surman clear.

However, the award of a penalty raised spirits as Phil Jones clumsily brought down Marc Pugh, with King firing home with aplomb.

The feel-good factor did not last long, though.

Ibrahimovic and Rooney forced fine saves from Boruc, before tempers frayed as Ibrahimovic caught Mings with an elbow shortly after the Bournemouth defender stamped on the Swede.



Neither were booked but Surman was for shoving Ibrahimovic - although it took a while for referee Friend to realise it was second yellow card.

The anger was palpable as half-time came and went, with United in the ascendancy when play resumed.
Rooney saw a strike deflected and Pogba was impressively denied by Boruc, but Bournemouth weathered the storm as Mourinho made a triple substitution in the 70th minute.

A minute later United had the chance to strike a decisive blow as Smith was adjudged to have handled a Pogba cutback. Ibrahimovic stepped up for the spot kick, only to be denied by a fine Boruc save low to the keeper's right.

Referee Friend was under scrutiny again moments later as substitute Marcus Rashford came close, despite Arter being on the deck after sustaining a head injury.

The Bournemouth midfielder then avoided a second booking as Mings went off after an awkward fall, much to the home fans' amusement.

The closing stages resembled two boxers wildly swinging punches at one another, with United landing more blows. However, Bournemouth held firm to secure an important 1-1 draw.

Mings jumped into Ibrahimovic's elbow according to Zlatan himself. :pac::pac:

Both were scummy actions and both should get a long ban. No place for scum bag behavior like that in the game.

Everton match now a big one for utd. Can they hold on to 6th place. Worrying times for utd.

You must have missed the silverware win last weekend or the unbeaten run since October?

Or maybe you are just being your usual self and the reason why mo one takes anything you have to say on football seriously.

The fact is utd have bottled every opportunity they have had to make progress this year in the league. Roy Keane was right during the week. Utd have beaten nobody.

Thats true but it's not how you start it's how you finish it. The only team in the league that can say they have done the job is chelsea no other team around us can say they are safe in top four.

In the league.

You could have quoted me directly if you wanted clarification but is apt that you two engage with each other.

They came for a point and despite being harshly disadvantaged by being one man short for the 2nd half (both teams should have been down to 10 men) they protected their point and got across the line. Utd had the chances to beat them but once again couldn't get the deal done at home in the PL. Hard to explain but it's happened so often this season that it's no longer a fluke when teams get a draw at OT.

Can't believe most of the Sunday paper back pages are leading with the elbow from Ibrahimovich rather than the well nastier head stamp from Mings

What?? Rooney tripped Mings and he accidentally catches Ibrahimovich... the elbow was pure thuggish and has rightly been the focus of the press.

Big name player that sells papers. It's hardly a shock. He let himself and his club down down. Supposed hard man falls over.

Did he fall over when he elbowed or when he was on the ground when head stamped?
