Man Utd Thread:

Welbeck continuing his diving antics after his Oscar winning dive for England.
At least the peno was missed. Justice done.

PENALTY - Manchester United
Danny Welbeck goes down in the box under a sliding challenge from Ali Al-Habsi. It is a soft, soft, spot spot-kick. In fact, it shouldn't have been a spot kick at all as Welbeck dived

MISSED PENALTY - Manchester United - Javier Hernandez
Justice is done as Javier Hernandez's penalty - softly-struck to the right - is saved by Ali Al-Habsi. It was a poor effort from Hernandez and an easy job for the keeper to save.

I see Saurez at the same Craic and got booked for it.

Except the Suarez one should have been a pen and he didn't dive.

I guess that is what happens when the refs see him dive in every other game!

Thats exactly why it wasnt given.

Utd scoring plenty of goals and second from top. Liverpool finding goals very hard to come by and near bottom. That would mean an easy win for Utd next weekend right?

Just reading about some Man U 'fans' chanting horrible things about Hillsborough today.
It's a disgrace these idiots are let into the ground.
Some people really are scum.

They are scum and that's going to be the case on Sunday from elements of both fans.

Howeverm the most disappointing was the embarassing position from the Man United Supporters Trust who tried to pass it off as having nothing to do with Hillsborough. Only an absolute idiot blinded by the United PR machine would swallow that (Nrico maybe).

Never seen Suarez' dive later in the evening, but Stan Collymore nearly choked... he wanted a red card for him in his TalkSport commentry!!

An overreaction from Stan. On the super slow-mo replay it was very handy to make a case for it being a penalty. I've seen the replay 10 times and I'm still unsure.

He didn't get it because he has dived in the past, so can't have too many complaints. Deserves to lose out on the 50-50 decisions.

I'm sure 95% of fans don't want these chants and should let it be known.

The boyos who do this revel in it though. They enjoy the fact they hate the others more than the "pc brigade"

Manchester United are to be congratulated on their stance over the chants at the weekend. Well done for striking a blow for decency.

Thats it in a nutschell really, there is elements to support who respect nothing and see themselves as martyrs for it - on a level with the Italian Ultras who believe they are more important than the club and the players.

I know a few United lads who were at Ajax in amsterdam last year and in the square before it, a crowd of supporters constantly tried to start up Hillsboro songs but got drowned out as they tried with United songs. I know a Liverpool supporter who seen similar on European aways with Munich songs and seen a few slaps exchanged between a scouse crowd and non-scouse group who refused to join in.

In many cases you'll find that this monority, albeit a vocal monority, will be young and trying to make a name for themselves and not really know, or care, what they are singing about.

Late night on the sauce last night after the game?

My spelling on this is always very poor, type too quick and never reread! 

Was far too depressed for a feed of pints, took the missus out for a feed, had 1 pint with it and she was dropping me to the pub and I told her to drive on and went home. Was gutted.

And Ballybay there for the taking too in the Final.  Hard luck! At least you feckers won't stop my one true love from 3 in a row this time!

Anyway, I expect there will very very little chanting in Anfield at the weekend, I think from a Liverpool point of view last week has lifted such a weight of the shoulders of the fans that I really think they will move away from that and there will be a major move among the main group of them to stop anything developing.  As for United, there won't be enough of them there to start anything and I think similarly they would be drowned out very quickly.

I hope so, it only takes a few on both sides to get it going, and once there is a perceived hurt a few more always join in as "they started it".
