According to an article in the Guardian, which I cannot access because of internet problems here in the UAE, Mancini evidently blames Craig Bellamy for conceding that late goal. What is that all about? Very strange for any manager to point a finger at one player, especially a striker who normally runs his bollocks off. What with the NOTW story, it seems that Bellers may not be around much longer. I reckon he may join Mark Hughes at Newcastle Utd in the close season.
 
Cant see him joining Barcodes, he isn't exactly popular up there is he.

Why can't he just get his act together off the pitch, because on it he really can be the bollocks most of the time

He's not too popular anywhere really is he? I don't want him to go BTW, I like players with fire in their belly
 
I thought Bellers had done for us when he bollocked RatFacedTwat down in the corner, but I can't put Bellers in the chain for their goal. We didn't have some big bugger in the middle when the ball came over. I suppose you can trace it all the way back to the kick-off in the first half if yer want!
 
Again it's a shocking piece of journalism intended to carry on from the story of Bellers row with Marwood.

Bob blamed a "lack of concentration" at the end of the game which could well have encompassed Stevie's lack of tracking Scholes as well as Bellamy's poor ball, amongst others.
 
At no point does Mancini mention Bellamy and if I were the club I'd have a word with the newspaper. The headline is totally out of order.

Sadly this is just the type of thing that passes for journalism these days.
 
liverpool and united have both shown us this season that you have to be cynical at the right moments.
Look at shrek in the first half on DeJong. We were going to break away and DeJong was unceremoniously hacked down.
I know that both the rags and red scouse are part of the Sky four and refs (as shown on Saturday) will do their utmost not to book any of their players, but someone had to take responsibility and a probable yellow card.
No one did and we were beat.
 
Sorry mates, as I said before in a thread here

Is Ireland to be blamed? No! IMHO.
We are a bunch of disparate individual players. Collectively as a team we have not settled down yet.

Besides above Thats why Game Preparation, Training and Practice is essential & MANDATORY!.
Honestly ask ourselves, is a 'knackered player' an asset on the field especially in a critical game like this past Home Derby? The team interest should be placed ahead of any individual. Last I heard football is a team game.
 
Bellamy is one of our few players with real determination and that thing called Passion.

It wasn't his fault. It was just a freak goal. Yes he did try the long diagonal pass which gave the ball to them, if he decided to keep the ball and just run it up the field and see where it takes him it would have ended 0-0. But he is only human.
 
How can anyone blame Bellers, that was a defencive error. Once again we were beaten at the back post, as we were at Brummies, almost a carbon copy.
 
I did see an article in one of the Sundays where Mancini was quoted as saying something about playing safe and settling for a point, when asked if they'd talked about guarding against a last minute goal.

It's an interesting one; on the one hand Mancini is happy for the players to take the safe option and grab a point yet Bellamy goes for the killer pass because he sees there's a chance of winning. And the rags certainly weren't happy to settle for a point when they got possession back.

So who's right and who's wrong?
 
He had space and instead of running the ball out like your taught at an early age and head for the corner flag! he has the pace and instead he attepted a ball that was never in a million years on the cards they cut it out and the rest is to painful

So it was his fault in my opinion it was tiredness idolness what ever you wanna call it but it was his fault

Dont get me wrong Im a bellamy fan but he dropped the cod unfortunatly
 
Blaming Bellamy for trying to win the game?

Its the defence's fault, 2 runs and it cuts our centre-backs in half.

Sorry guys. Have a look at the video. Bellers inerrant pass initiated a cascade of defensive errors.

1. At 92:37 Barry had Scholes covered with Ireland positioned at top of box in case of Evra cutting in.
2. Barry decided to go after Giggs who acted as a decoy. By then Ireland was too far away from Scholes to make up the distance
3. All the while, watch Bellamy strolling instead of relieving Bridge from guarding Nani..
4. Bridge should then have covered Berbaflop freeing Kompany.

Question is did Barry made the right choice going after Giggs instead of leaving it to Kolo. Noting that Ireland was blindsided by Scholes run & Barry's decision to go for Giggs.

A truism in football is that when someone makes a boo boo by giving the ball away, he has to make every effort to recover it or to ensure his error doesn't come back to bite his arse. Did Bellamy?

All of us want to win. So do Mancini with his lineup & substitutions.
We had 7 corner kicks, 'none of them were converted. Its supposed to be our forte. We never had a sniff'. Because the corner kicks were 'badly taken'.

But all of us do not want United to win at all. That would be the bitterest pill to swallow.

Watch the video again especially Beller's stroll and Nani

Was there any urgency, passion or sense of responsibility by Bellamy to defend?

When you put it like that! and I hate to say it but the "Manager" Bellers was knackered in the last 10 mins should have gone off and we played for a draw.
Fergie won with his tactics on the day.

Think you should look at Nedders !! Where was he when Evra made the telling cross for the goal ?? After all he is our right full back !!
NOT a blue shirt within 10/15 yards of Evra.
And the answer is NO before you ask.I am a massive fan of Nedum and probably the only thing he did wrong in the entire match.UNFORTUNATELY.
Just as Carlos needlessly gave the ball away in the dying seconds at OT for their 4th goal,we need all players to concentrate for 90 -98 minutes and not fookin`switch off at the death !!!!!

sorry mate but bellers gave that ball away when he had acres of space to run in. they picked it up and scored its as simple as that
 
When you've been kicked in the bollocks in the last minute of injury time twice in one season you do NOT try a stupid cross field ball in that situation. You run in out and let the defence push out behind you. The only reason Scholes was in the box was due to the fact United were still pushed so far up from the last attack.

Totally Bellamys fault.

I love him but like most footballers he's thick as f**k.
 
Stevie was the main culprit for me, however the way SWP refused to track back once we had lost possession left us really open on that right hand side....."mugged off" we where the ones gettin mugged off there Shaun,,tell that ya ole man !
