At the highest level football is fixed-Man U v Real Madrid

[flypitcher]

It is so corrupt.

[raelmadrid]

you referring to the red card?

[ilscuro]

Not corrupt, just a ref out of his depth more like.

[CzarJunkie]

Nani deserved to go, he's a right dirty cunt. He clearly tried to break his ribs.

[flypitcher]

This match was fixed.

O RLY

[Thalamus]

Deffo suspect wonder if Platini had something to do with this ?

[beansontoast]

Ferdinand will surely be bollocked over clapping in the referee's face at the end. Big ban, bell.

[CzarJunkie]

Did you miss the kick to the ribs? Even Roy Keane has said he deserved to go.

[ilscuro]

There was no intent, he wasn't even looking at the opponent, only the ball, red card was a joke, it was a yellow if that.

[honestDave]

Wow Roy Keane, didn't realise he was still so bitter about being pushed out of the club.

Obviously still gutted to have fallen out with his manager and this is the way he copes.

[rmj2663]

After he made contact he kicked out at his ribs. He deserved to go off for that the dirty cunt. Totally agree with CJ and Roy Keane

[k11jrp]

Had to go, get used to it. Boom!! UTV!!

A clear red,if Pepe did this to Van Persie people would scream bloody murder.

We have two types of people here. Man U fans and non-Man U fans. This is pretty much the same in every football thread.

At first i thought it was just a freekick but in slow motion nani straightens his leg after the ball has gone pushing into Arbeloa's ribs...Then he lays on the floor using the oldest trick in the book feigning injury when you know you've just gone a bit to far.

Personally I think that an external official looked at the replay and told the ref it was a red....Either way correct decision for me.

[flumperino]

Even if there was no intent it was completely reckless. It was a flying ninja kick!

[B.I.G.]

In the Arbeloa situation you can clearly see that he could have been killed,Uefa has got to look into it regardless that he has been given a red card. He should be banned for a long time because that was the most dangerous thing I've seen on a football field for many years.

[Rhinoz]

Deffo red card for me, dangerous play no matter the intent was there or not.

Very reckless and the fact he even pretended he was injured also was a sign of guilt.

I was a neutral watching with no care who won that match.

Man Utd fans are all moaning (here, on Facebook, on Twitter, on sports pages on the web etc) because they lost. Regardless of the reasons, they lost the game, are out of Europe for the season.


That's what football is about. Win lose or draw, makes no odds. Whichever it is, the supporters of the team involved will fly out of the traps to defend their team, argue the toss, and generally, try to justify the result.

So, justifying this result, Man Utd didn't do enough to win, with 11 or 10 men. Que Sera Sera.


Bilbo.
