Ferguson Needs Some Pride

Premier League Manchester United
by spurslondon (U10941286) 09 March 2008
comment on the article

Why can't this bloke just accept they were beaten by a better team, he makes a fool of the game with his goings on. Blames everyone but his team. Its the pitch, its the ref, its coz they tackled too hard, they didnt look after ronaldo.

What a joke this guy is, he has just managed to make a complete fool of himself. I bet all the managers in the Prem were rolling around laughing at him yesterday. At least the Chelsea lads lost with grace and pride intact.

The assistants comments on Taylor are a disgrace, shame on Man U.

torresleftfoot...

Blossom into supporting the Mighty Wheeltrim Warriors of Scallypool...you're avvin a giraffe.

You use the word Amen as though you talk of heaven, wrongly so in my opinion as the vision you describe is actually down below in hell.

Just punch 2 plastic horns into Mr. Potato Head's Head, give you all tridents and some burning fires of hellfire and damnation and away you go..."and you'll never boil, alone, you'll never boil, alone, ah ah loh own, ah ah loh own, coz you'll never boil alone..."

You'll have to behave if you want the premier league though as that is definitely 9 fat slices of heaven you ain't had your buttery light fingers on yet lar ;o)

Unless you melt down your superfluity of European Trinkets in the white hot fires of Hades and smelt a mockup that is...

A mockup that would be every bit as far fetched as the scenario you describe.

from what i saw, kuszack never even touched Baros, he pulled his arms away and no contact is made! also, he wasnt the last player and it was never a red card! And as for people saying it was a shoulder barge!! No way was it a fair challenge, THE pompey player came like a rocket from no where, didnt have his eyes on the ball and it was a blantant obstruction...Ferguson was livid due to the fact that all 3 big insidents went against his team...it doesnt matter if u hate man u or not...but the ref had a stinker

You're just not used to the odd decision going against you!! In the Chelsea game three massive decisions went your way - the extra time from nowhere until you scored, the dodgy red card and awarding a penalty for a blatant dive. Funny how none of you lot were complaining about referee performances then, swings and roundabouts. Man utd have had all the decisions for far too long, a couple go against you and you behave like spoilt girls

I agree that Ferguson can get cross from time to time (especially when we get beat), but that is no way an excuse for none MUFC fans to show contemptible disrespect by calling a knighted 'Sir' and "BLOKE"! UNBERLIVERABLE!

"I can't believe how many people think that gently shepherding a player away from your goalkeeper while he's picking up the ball is a foul of some sort.

Ok, Distin didn't go for the ball, but Ronaldo was hardly in control of it either, it was clearly going straight to James.

All Distin did was place himself between the attacker and his goalkeeper - probably preventing a diabolical, studs up challenge on David James.

You only have to see how balletically Ronaldo turned in the air and landed on his backside, looking at the ref, with his arms outstretched, to know that he was looking for a decision that he knew he shouldn't get.

Contrast that with a goalkeeper who, knowing he couldn't get the ball, threw himself down in the path of a striker who was clearly in control of the ball and about to shoot into an empty net.

Both good decisions by a good ref."

No bias there eh? Distin CRASHED into Ronaldo with NO ATTEMPT to do anything with the ball. It's not American football for christ's sake. The comment about a likely diabolical tackle just shows that you are either a complete WUM or a blithering idiot.

Wow Mancsroyston66 !

I just logged in, first time since my little contribution, and began to read your reply...

Firstly, your attempts to be condescending were really quite amusing! I mean your standard opinionated football fan trying on the air of superiority - come on !
laugh

And then....after the first paragraph I scrolled down to see the full extent of your labours.

Dear me I must have upset you! But then I did touch on the subject of self denial if I recall.

Anyway, I was so intrigued by your response that I nearly forced myself to read it!! Well nearly....there is only so much I can take from the fans 'Jusification of Bull5h1t Manual' before it bores me.

But thanks for the compliment, my post was not rehearsed at all - it passed ten minutes at work. But yours? Well...as I said, you must have been well and truly irked.

I shall let you get back to posting about how noone should tackle Ronaldo or something - C Ya

-----------------------

it of an ill-informed comment this

ronaldo has been booked 4 times this season domestically, and i know at least 2 of those were for fouls

so to say he keeps getting booked for diving is false
