Good tactical move by Fergie starting Chris Foy instead of Howard Web today #mufc #mcfc

I have now turned over to replay of last night's NFL. Every time I looked up man city were on the attack, cutting through man u with seeming ease, needing last ditch blocks and a great save, defenders arguing with each other. Then a man u goal. I didn't even realise man city were down to ten men until I caught up with this thread. Not bothering with the rest of the game now. Who's Harry Crumb? starts at 2 on 5* at 2pm...

Townsend's spot on,wasn't even a booking.

The two footed challenge has been outlawed since 2005. There is no caveat based on being it being low, or that showing studs is unavoidable or whether the player won the ball cleanly. A two footed challenge is deemed 'excessive force' and because of that it is a red card offence. Someone is within their rights to disagree with the laws but to say the referee got it wrong is rather harsh by Townsend.

He had the ball before the player got there though he didnt even tackle the player, and Nani didnt even appeal for the freekick and the ref was not going to give it until rooney went mad

Arguing that he won the ball is ridiculous, terrible tackle! Straight red. Penalty now!

Beauty of a goal from Welbeck. But right or wrong the red has ruined the game as a contest.
