EPL : Portsmouth V Manchester United - 7th April
-
haha its ok bro no need to give credit where it is totally not due at all.. personally I thought the referee was superb.. it was a brilliant clean tackle by primus on rooney.. he totally got the ball... if anyone is to be blame it is rooney for trying to bring the ball all the way to antartica before he feels he should shoot.. no penalties on both occasions.. good call by ref.. players didnt do so bad? we are talking about manchester united here.. you wanna perform like that, don't bother putting on the shirt.. now im really wondering what is the real hype with carrick and rooney..Originally posted by Spica:To be fair, I think the players didn't do so bad. We didn't lose to Portsmouth. We lost to unfair and stupid refereeing. Utd should hv got at least 2 penalties and goodness know how many free kicks. Portsmouth is lucky to have all 11 men on the pitch after all the fouls they committed.
Of course, that OG by Rio is real stupid...sigh.
The title chase is really close now. Let's keep our fingers crossed. -
I think the ref's views were quite fair.
Just that once vidic is gone.. seems like the whole back 4 is out of form.
And something is wrong with VDS.
did the same thing 3 times and out of them, 2 went on to be goals in the last 2 matches.
-
Yes his goal was clean alright. But Utd could have all those chances to level up and possibly overtake had the referee recognise all the stupid fouls on them. I even lost count of the number of times Ronaldo was brought down.Originally posted by ghimpheng:nonsense Primus tackles was clean

brown is too laid back to be a defender.. and im wodnering why are we letting them to have the liberty to take the long shots.. -
you see, there were times where utd could have been given a foul but the ref didnt.
And there were also times when it could have happened the other way. so the ref was pretty fair in his decisions from what i see.
And the last goal was VDS fault without a doubt. where the hell was he going man.
could hv equalized! tough luck. -
Bro u r right. I know it's Manchester United and much much more is expected of them. But I only felt that we had seen worse from them. Like against Liverpool. And yes, I agree the entire defence had been sleeping. Heck. Whatever.Originally posted by dinky1409:haha its ok bro no need to give credit where it is totally not due at all.. personally I thought the referee was superb.. it was a brilliant clean tackle by primus on rooney.. he totally got the ball... if anyone is to be blame it is rooney for trying to bring the ball all the way to antartica before he feels he should shoot.. no penalties on both occasions.. good call by ref.. players didnt do so bad? we are talking about manchester united here.. you wanna perform like that, don't bother putting on the shirt.. now im really wondering what is the real hype with carrick and rooney..

U din see the replays. He didn't dive a single time. There was always contact whenever he was brought down. Tackles, pushes, knock-overs. Whatever, he got them all. He's matured enough to play a decent game now. Too bad, the guys out there are not gracious enough..Originally posted by 798:ronaldo should have sent off for diving time n time again! tis is wat i feel! -
the bottomline is Man u lost. But they will win Roma im sure

ever heard the story of Peter and the wolf? if i were the referee, i will ignore the 'foul' too.Originally posted by Spica:U din see the replays. He didn't dive a single time.

if dat jerk is good, he should learn to balance and control the ball, n not falling so easily like a wuss.
congrats for portsmouth n west ham, they play well against the big teams tonite. -

yeah.Originally posted by dinky1409:as much as i hate to admit but i agreed to some extent..
anyway it doesnt make any difference whether manu lose any match. rite now manu still can afford to lose one match. if they level wif chelsea, they still win on goal advantage.
n not forget chelsea still have to face them n Arsenal, looking at situation, the pressure is still on chelsea as they cannot afford to lose UCL either. -
Hmm.. Tink Arsenal quite history liao.. Unless Wenger got some grudges to settle with MoiLimDio..Originally posted by 798:yeah.

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp:
"We told the players on Friday that the only way we were going to win was if we all grafted. The players worked their socks off. "We got in United's faces whenever we could and made it difficult for them. "We decided to press them all over the park and not sit back. We met them halfway up the park and it worked."
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson felt his side's midweek exploits in the Champions League caught up with them:
"An away game after a European tie is always difficult but playing with 10 men for so long in Rome told here. "We had some decent chances but their keeper made some excellent saves. "These things happen. It has come at a bad time but we have showed character all season and must do so again now."

Fletcher played quite well. Richardson played badly.
