Re-watching the rags FA Cup final, Pep masterclass, the salfordites wondered what hit them !!
Probably just a glory hunter basking in his reflected brillianceThe sausage boy was here?

Just before he went, he said his beans were curry flavour.Gutted that I missed sausage boy.

I think he was baiting you.
With ya 100%! He went in with his foot sideways, so that he caught it with his instep. Had he gone in flat foot (studs up) and straight-legged, we could have no qualms if it was a penalty and 10 men.....but he didn't! It was a good tackle! Rooney rolled around with a broken leg for a minute, until he realized he was getting nothing, then he got up and gave Clattenberg an earful of foul and abusive, then was sprinting for a ball 20 seconds later! Compare that to Bailly doing Nico's standing foot on the 1 yard line, with straight studs down the Achilles, and they are night and day different challenges. One is a career ended, the other is a 50/50! I honestly think Rooney was just embarrassed he did not win the ball, so he tried to get a pen (which he might wel, have taken...broken leg and all!) and a man sent off.Just re the Bravo Rooney smokescreen... wasn't it a 50:50 challenge that Bravo won? If he'd lost it then he would have been taken out with Rooney's follow through and we'd be calling for Rooney's head, but as he won it he's made out to be the bad guy.
Sometimes i just don't get football
