Yeah. What a bellend.

Ferguson meant: "I'm pissed off that we got a referee who is not one of the ones in my pocket who will give us nearly ten minutes of injury time to try and claw back at least a draw if we are losing at home."

Seriously, is he for real? "It denies you a proper chance to win a football match"...you had 90 minutes in which to do that, and you didn't. You were bettered on the night. shut the fuck up, you moaning Scottish cunt

This is interesting.

tl;dr the big six all get Fergie time.

If they're winning at home the match will end earlier, if they're losing at home they'll get longer.

>>4576
If I was managing a club and we were beating United at Old Trafford I'd be encouraging them to timewaste. It's hardly surprising if that leads to more extra time.

>>4526

Van Persie is 'lucky to be alive'
Ferguson calls for Williams ban

What a hysterical old shitter.

>>4614
>WAAAAAAAAAAAH WE DIDN'T GET ANY FERGIE TIME OR PENALTIES
Christ, for such a successful manager he can be pretty fucking pathetic at times.

>United play shit and don't win
>Ferguson says something unspeakably stupid in the press conference after the game
>Everybody talks about Ferguson instead of focusing on United playing shit

Every single time. I'm surprised this is still working.

>>4616

Every good manager ever has done this.

Mourinho and Dalglish come to mind instantly.

Plus, they did actually call him out on this on MOTD2.

>>4617

Ooh. Touched a nerve haven't we?

>>4619

That was a reasonable and sadly accurate post, don't be an ABU.

Can anyone else taste the bitter

>>4670

Finished crying into your Horlicks after last nights thrashing?

>>4680

As a non united fan, united were the better team.

Highlight of the match was Ferguson storming to the touchline after the sending off.

>>4681
>>4682
Quite frankly with that decision I'm amazed he didn't pull the team off the field in protest.

>>4683
It was hardly the FUCKING DISGRACE of Chelsea - Barcelona from a few years back. I guess United have become too accustomed to being able to bully FA referees.

>>4684

In no way, shape or form did it come reasonably close to the criteria for a red card as laid down in Law 12. It's a clear yellow for the recklessness of it (did he honestly think he'd have the time and space to bring that down unchallenged?), but certainly not a red. Not least because in that instance the red requires the use of force directly against another player.

>>4684

Was going to mention this. There was bound to be an incident of some sort. UEFA bigwigs have made no secret of the fact that they hate it when the UK clubs make it all the way through the competition, so it should come as no surprise now when a UEFA ref in the Champions League makes a shit call against the English side.

This particular ref IIRC sent Terry off in a Chelsea game and also a Man City player in one of their cruicial Champions League games

>>4683
I wouldn't say it's that serious, he is a European ref after all.

Still. Not a red.

Some of these tweets are just plain hysterical. These Manure fans are all internet toughguys.

The idea that Nani didn't see him is bullshit. He must've seen him in his peripheral vision, but didn't react at all - you actually see his foot continue raising.

I bet donkeys to dune bugs that Nani was thinking something like "I'm totally shit, and I'm totally shit, and I'm going to be a little foreign shit and try and stud this guy and make it look like I was going to the ball". 118 ref's got your number

>>4691

The logic is his head is facing the ball, therefore he is looking at the ball.

My head is facing this PC, but I can still look at the TV off to the side

>>4692
Not at full sprint whilst focusing intently on said ball.

>>4689
My team is 1-0 up in a European game with an away goal carried forward from the first leg, and the ref sends off one of the players for something that even the ISS lads can see wasn't a red card offence? I'm giving the ref 10 seconds to change his mind or I'm pulling them off and fuck the consequences - he'd be lucky to wake up in his hotel room the following morning.

Let's be clear about this. This isn't a few United fans being annoyed at an unfavourable call. The situation here is clear - it wasn't even close.

>>4694
Referees don't have the benefit of slow motion replay from several angles. It was harsh, but it's understandable. It's hardly a massive travesty.

The amount sore bottoms when a decision doesn't go uniteds way is fucking hilarious. As if they don't have referring decisions go their way 95% of the time.

Delicious tears etc.

Looks like Rooney will be a goner by Summer.

>>4697
I doubt any club that can afford him actually wants him.

>>4695
>Referees don't have the benefit of slow motion replay from several angles.
That's no excuse when said slow motion replay from several angles is so easily available. Rugby has had TMOs for ages. Cricket is into its third decade with the third umpire. With the amount of money in the game these days, there's no excuse for getting it so wrong at this level.

>>4698
He's almost 28, the only reason clubs might not want him is the wage bill. He'll fetch ~£18-20m or sit on the bench at man united.

Hohoho.

I can hear the cheers from Merseyside.

>>4729
Which of course means he'll still be there come October. Fergie time, innit.

Moyes over possibly Jose
Terrible mistake or a potentially decent long term successor?

>>4731
United and Real will be kicking themselves if neither of them end up hiring Fat Sam.

More cuntery from Rooney:-

>Wayne Rooney has removed the term "Manchester United player" from his Twitter page and replaced it with "NikeUK athlete" following his demand to Sir Alex Ferguson a fortnight ago to leave the club this summer.
