United thread 2020/21

[FightLikeAGirl]

Fernandes, Martial, Rashford and Cavani are the sole reasons OGS is still in a job.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Another year for the promising youngster Lingard to prove himself. Nice.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

Good. If the referee didn't see it, which he obviously didn't, then the FA can take retrospective action.

But they won’t! We all know that. If it had been Aguero, he would have been found guilty by the post match clowns and paraded on continuous loop until FA charged him.
Double standards. More corrupt than an African dictator.

So when does cavani get his ban?

Now. Just broke, 3 match ban but it's been that hush hush you wouldn't even know what he's done.

Haha I thought you were taking the piss....but yeah 3 matches just now.

Aston Villa, Us & Watford...2 cup games.

I can hear the wailing from here!
LOL

CavanI banned for 3 games , how does that compare to Bernies ban?

2 more games I think. Didn't Bernie have to go on a re education course?

Same length I think...just a few hundred less trumpets and packs of dogs.

Edit* Only one game for Bernie.

 

[cityontheup]

Just checked Bernie got one game plus fine

 

[M18CTID]

That should shut up all the knicker wetters who thought Cavani would get off

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

And rightly so

I don’t for 1 minute think he’s racist but stupid for using terminology like he did.

Extremely naive if he thinks he can fall back on “lost in translation” excuse.

 

[domalino]

This is a stupendously bad decision and I expect Cavani or United will challenge it in some way.

Being banned for 3 games and fined £100,000 for calling a friend with black hair, "blackie".

The FA can't decide that words with no racist meaning in a foreign language are racist because they look or sound like a racist word in English.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Neither Bernie nor Cavani should have been banned.

But good to see some consistency, even when United is involved

You're obviously right but fuck it it's only them.....

How does it compare.

Let's have a look shall we!

Bernies ban - A week long, on the hour every hour report and condemnation of the tweet, various players brought into the studio to air their views, all negative of course, every live game was ignored and the tweet talked about as if bernie had killed someone.
Victor Anichobe? Wheeled out for one night only, got told to act shocked and disappointed, disappeared into thin air, boomf gone, never been invited back again.

Cavani ban - got reported a couple of times on sky sports news on the same day , and that was it. No guests, no ex players airing their condemnation, not even kick it out could be arsed saying anything. News just broke, presenter looked choked up reporting it, it'll be off the screens by teatime.

There's the difference.

 

[I'm Blue]

Yep especially when you consider the witch-hunt for Bernardo, even more so when you also consider only one of them was actually racist.

Probably more for the media thread. Good day to bury bad news and all that...

 

[Chak19]

He should have been banned for violent conduct against Everton anyway.
