Aye.... we need to sort out our keeper situation... that game should have been over at half time... good to get the win in... it'll help us but we could have done with an easier second half as that will give City belief anyway..

Some City fans might blame the red card,but he was sent off,end of,good effort in the second half but fair play to united for hanging on,good advert for english football
Great game. Neither team looked totally dominant and I was disappointed in the way Utd didn't finish it off, but a good footballing spectacle nonetheless.
The red card affected the game.. but did he have a choice. Two footed.. off the ground.. its a red. The rules are strict and clear. Foy would have got in trouble if he'd let that go. In the fact he did get the ball it seems harsh, but in the rules there is little scope for interpretation and too many two footers are allowed, which makes these ones harsh..Originally Posted by Stagger
We also had the deffo penalty on Valencia turned down..
Fair point in the letter of the law, but booking Wellbeck???????
The sending off (right or wrong?) ruined the first half for me after a cracking header from Rooney put United ahead and set up the match nicely. Fortunately the second half made it more of a spectacle as its not often non-satellite TV gets a domestic fixture like this. Overall a very enjoyable game :thumbup:
I'd agree if it was off the ground but it wasn't as every replay shows. Nani had no complaints as he neither dived or complained but got on with the game, the ref wasn't going to take any action until some UTD players started to complain
At least two penalty shouts missed, a poor level of refereeing for such an important game. The game should have been dead and buried by 20 minutes.
Lots of delusional UTD fans on FB saying they're back when all they did was scrape a 2:3 win against 10 men! Justice would have been served had that last minute free kick gone in and we could have seen a proper 11 against 11 match to decide it
I was watching on line.. everyone in Llanberis seems to be 'alternative' no one has a ruddy TV.... so I missed a fair few moments when the signal went poor..
I think he was off the ground though Ian. But two footed is two footed. City will take heart from that so I don't think this was any significant blow either way. The loss of Kompany, along with the African players will be the biggest bonus for United... but we need to continue our current transfer policy and bring back VDS.... him in goal.. Scholes in the middle.. Cantona up front...
I think They said that a reckless 2 footed tackle is a yellow and A dangerous 2 footed is a red, it certainly wasn't dangerous.
As to the new line up...
only when the seagulls follow the trawler will the dolphins feed....?!
