Miguel Sanchez Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Jesus. Do these people believe the shite they spout about Rooney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Ponce Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I thought BU just shaded it if I'm being honest ... and he was a minute quicker. I missed one tbh but I make you right. On Keown, he said something really weird when Falcao something like 'he's being sarcastic there' when he was struggling to see the numbers on the board.

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Rooney's penalty conversion was a victory for England. On the subject of England, listening to a Hodgson team talk must be inspirational stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It was a strange team for the BBC. Preston v Man Utd so they have an ex-Preston player and an ex-United player in the studio with all others neutral. BBC Scotland and Sky will be wondering why they just didn't have 5 ex-Man Utd players covering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Evasive action . It's one thing to evade the tackle and possible injury but he could have stayed on his feet, had he not been a diving basturt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueDiamond Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 So to summarise: A disputed 'offside' goal, a probable shove by Fellaini to win the header and a definite dive. That's what it takes for a multi multi million pound team to beat a League 1 club!! Never mind. It's Scotland World Cup time !!! #backingblue TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shengus Khan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It was hardly the "leg breaking" challenge that Phil Neville made it out to be. The 'keeper was a wee bit rash but no more than that. Rooney dived and is therefore a cheat in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! He was already past the keepers leg. Roy Hodgson mentioning us in the same line as Brazil and Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The BBC giving ITV a run for their money tonight in their ineptitude. Keown doing his best Andy Townsend impression, and the desperate defending of Saint Wayne particular lowlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete's Frontier Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I hope Fellaini plays up top from now on for United, he causes real problems unlike the others tbh. I really thought/hoped Falcoa was going to be a sensation at United given his record at Athletico and Porto, just hasn't happened,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Ponce Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It's obviously a dive but I'd be raging if that was my keeper, what an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'keeper was a wee bit rash but no more than that. Rooney dived and is therefore a cheat in my view. I wonder how often a 'leg breaker' actually results in a broken leg. I'd probably say less than 1%. Kind of weird to call something by a description of something that it actually rarely does. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Would like to see the referee book Rooney and give the penalty. The keeper diving out like that has impeded Rooney therefore it's a penalty, but there was no need for the theatrics. Not that up on the offside rule but hearing a few opinions sounds like the linesman got that right. Thought the second goal should have been chalked off though. Ive been calling for that rule change for ages (but I thought I was a lone voice in the wilderness). Refs should be able to give fouls but also book the fouled player for making the most of it.

pandarilla Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Meant to add they should also be told to give fouls if a player manages to stay on his feet. The never do that and so players are obviously going to choose to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like tonight, not booking Davies for a second time because it would mean sending him off. Tough! He deserved to go. It's one thing trying to keep it 11 aside but blatantly ignoring the rules like that is just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keeper diving out like that has impeded Rooney therefore it's a penalty. Erm, no it's not. The correct decision for impeding is an indirect free kick. Therefore no matter what it is not a penalty. The correct decision in this instance should have been a direct free kick to Preston and a yellow card to Rooney for simulation. Any other outcome would be the incorrect one. TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
