Man.City vs Man.Utd

[Pot noodles for everyone]

What are you talking about the "tackle" was completed before Nani even got there and as the panel said Nani wasnt going to go through with his challenge so KompanyY set himself up for the red card with a reckless challenge they he didnt need to commit.

Well that's just contradicted what you said previously. Give it up old man.

It wasn't even a tackle.. You need two players for that I thought? Kompany had won the loose ball before Nani even got there and NO contact was made between the two players!

For a tackle, I think one player has to have possession of the ball, not just have two people there, but the law uses the phrase "challenging for the ball" not tackle, which I presume would include lunging for a loose ball. The proximity of other players would then play a part in defining the dangerousness of the lunge. But again, I'm just trying to explain the law as I read it, having not seen the challenge.

Just had a cracking shot. He is currently 16-1 on Will Hill to score, got to be worth a quid or two.

Owen Hargreaves about to come on. Fate for him to make it 3-3 after United turfed him out last summer?

Wind the Clock Down

With ten minutes to go, now it is the time for United to play possession football.

In the classic commentary style, City will get one more chance, or half chance.
