FA Cup - 8/9 January

[Samson]

Just saw this posted on RAWK. Comedy gold.

This has been ridiculous for multiple years now, and today it was to open display once more.

Perhaps it's time for Liverpool fans to consider an appeal for a thorough investigation of fraud, by listening to telephone calls and tracking e-mails between the refereeing commitee and Mr. Ferguson and background staff inside United. I suspect the findings could be very similar to what was found in case of Moggi and Juventus a few years ago, something that was not proven until a thorough investigation had been made. The establishment simply has too much to lose if United fail to win and decline into an average team. With the huge power of the referees in football, I suspect the establishment simply makes sure United gets a penalty whenever they need it. We suffer from it, and so do others...

It's pretty evident that there's something extraordinary strange here, and that the weakest United side for 20 years can be unbeaten after 21 games... I think it's time for us to unite with the other clubs' fans and at least get this mess investigated.

Agree anyone?

RAWK is always a bit special.

Naughton up next against City.

 

[joey.leone]

1-0 to the Foxes after 40 seconds!

Hehe.

 

[SlickMongoose]

[chrissivad]

[spursandbarca]

city gonna get beat

 

[jushin3]

Naughton's not too bad.

2-1 to City :-(

And 7-0 to Chelsea over Ipswich. Maybe sacking Keane was a bad idea :lol:

I am a bit worried that Chelsea will gain confidence from this and start winning PL games again though...

Chelsea have got their shooting boots on today.

How many scarves does Mankini need? Seems odd to be wearing one in United colours.

 

[werty]

2-2. Hart cock-up. Bring back Given!

 

[3Dnata]

Come on Sven get your revenge and I don't just mean by shagging all the City players wags but that will help too.

Think its the colours of the shirt they wore when Neil Young (not that one) scored in the cup final, who's recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer... or something along those lines!


And :lol: at Hart, we call that 'pulling a Gomes'!

I see contact at 0.13. 0.14 is the dive - ie after he realises he's been (weakly) caught.

For the sake of clarity, I see a slight clip while Berba's foot is in the air. This pushes his left foot against his right calf, which because the Bulgar is running would have put him off his stride. Enough to put him on his arse? No. But why is a clumsy defender excused catching an attacker's leg either? Poor defending and I can see why it was punished. Especially with that git Webb reffing.

I agree, it was a bit like a rugby style tap tackle, the slightest contact was enough to break his stride and if you look closely, he plants his left foot really awkwardly, right on the toes. He'd probably have fallen over anyway, but went for the artistic merit points on top

Nice from Naughton there... he's had a fairly good game without being 'OMG HE'S AMAZING'...

 

[SlickMongoose]

Naughton getting the better of Kolarov there, OMG he's amazing!

 

[3Dnata]

Naughton looks very useful, not Walker good but I hope we can keep him.

 

[Dannyspur]

naughton playing a blinder!

 

[Chris12345]

Nice little bit of skill there!

 

[SlickMongoose]

Nice.
