Carling Cup Final

[ChapManiA]

Arrrrgh, why won't the Ref book United players.

 

[Scotty Mac]

this ref is obviously a united fan - either that or he is trying to make up for the awarding of that penalty

 

[Scotty Mac]

i bloody LOVE berbatov

flair flair flair

 

[ChapManiA]

So now he's just told Raphael he's made two bad tackles, and next one he goes in the book. Why wasn't Downing allowed the same?

 

[Notters]

This ref is a complete cock

 

[Mowgli]

May see some players sent off at this rate.

 

[Hove Seagull]

I hate Man U so much

 

[The Wizard]

Owen injured.

 

[Mowgli]

Well Owen just can't stay injury free can he, think that's probably ended his World Cup hopes.

 

[Rookie]

got to feel for Owen can't get a run of games together

 

[Scotty Mac]

rooney on could be game over for villa now

Because Downings tackle was a 'yellow card' offence, and Rafael's wasn't?


Can't deny the ref isn't having a 'mare though, Vidic should have been booked at the very least.

As Scotty Mac says, later on in the game, quite probably.

Could argue that the other centre half (Evans?) would have got back in time, he was alongside the play.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Referee must have United in the League Cup sweep.

 

[Del Boy]

A top 4 team ref.. Great

 

[empire]

but the ref didnt apply the rules,doesnt materr when it happened,i dont rate him anyway,cant beleive he is one of our best refs

 

[Notters]

This. Manure seem to get away with murder again and again. I can "understand" why it may happen at old Trafford, with thec crowd factor, but at wembley?

 

[Working class pride]

How many touches does Dunne need to get the ball under control? The bloke plays football ever day and he cant control the thing. Dreadful - that is why England have not won the world cup since 1966 - players who cant control it end up professionals in this country. When will we learn?

 

[Safe.]

I think the referee is doing a great job so far.
