Still cant believe what happened last night. Unbelievable stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

We had them in our pocket, everything was going brilliant. They barely had a single good chance before the red card. Just shocking, still hope it was a bad dream and i can wake up. :cry:

PS - Now whats gonna happen with rooney?

Whats with Rooney ? Fergie's tactics were spot on, and Rooneys absence was not felt. The tabloids will write what they want.

It was spot on.

 

But you know as a player, it will be very hard to digest to be left out. I just hope he doesnt leave this summer. :fear:

I think he is mature enough to see what Fergie had planned. Mark my words, he will not leave United.

The referee from last night’s game, Cuneyt Cakir, follows 38 people on Twitter. The vast majority of Turkish football teams and TV stations which is fair enough. But he also follows Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid and their biased newspaper, Marca.

 

 

hmmm, interesting

i read that yesterday's ref folllows only 2 non Turkish clubs..real and barca..coincidence maybe?

 

i personally don't think a ref can be biased towards a certain club, but i at least hope that he does not officiate another big game ever..

I seriously hope they bring in something like third umpire for Straight reds and goal line. Anyway after the red, 5 minutes will be gone because of the raging might as well use it in a useful way.

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane believes referee Cuneyt Cakir "made the right call" when he sent off Nani in Tuesday night's Champions League battle with Real Madrid at Old Trafford.

Irate United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was seething with rage as the last-16 tie was transformed by the contentious decision of the Turkish official to dismiss Nani for his high challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa in the 56th minute at a moment when the home side were in the ascendancy, but Keane had little sympathy for the banished Portuguese winger.

"The referee has made the right call," Keane told ITV Sport. "It's dangerous play, it's a red card. He knows there are other footballers on the pitch and to be fair to the referee, he took a few minutes, spoke to his assistant and decided it was a red card.

"I don't think the referee made the decision because he waited a couple of minutes while one of the players was getting treatment and I think it was the assistant that made the call. Whatever people are getting upset about it, but I think he made the right call.

"Any time I got sent off in my career, I always thought did I give the referee a chance to send me off? If the answer is yes, then it is out of your hands. Everyone is upset about it and United are slightly unlucky to go out, but it's dangerous play. Whether he meant it or not is irrelevant. It was dangerous play, red card.

"Whether the referee was brave or not, it was the right decision. Let's not forget that Nani is quick to go down, he is not always the bravest boy."

Keane went on to praise Real Madrid match winner Cristiano Ronaldo as "an £80 million snip" as he marked his return to Old Trafford with the goal that secured his team a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.

"It looked like a lot of money when Real Madrid paid £80 million for Ronaldo, but he looks like a snip now," Keane added. "What a fantastic player. He didn't have his best game against United, but he was fantastic."

Loved him as a player but he's the biggest cu*t I've ever seen Edited by armaan

one reason i love to watch football matches is that i do not have favs, and so i only watch AAA matches usually. From a neutral perspective i think Nani deserved a red card, he might have been going for a bal, but he can't go all superman, and he hit the guy real bad with spikes, that would have hurt bad too.

 

Manu U then went into a shell, for next 15 minutes ball hardly came towards Real Side, which is as bad it can get, man u might have been equal to real for first 60 mins or for brief glimpses better then them, real was till trying better.
