United Thread - 2021/22

[Grassland Blue]

My memory was that Anelka almost caught the ball and knocked it to the Goat who duly scored. It thought it was handball at the time but it didn't stop me going bugshit with the other 3,000 of us in the swamp.

My memory says that the ball merely brushed Anelka's gloved right hand before he crossed it to the goat.
The flight of the ball was barely affected (if at all).
So nearly a double over them that season.

Yeah, seem to recall it was pretty harsh at the time, although that could be the blue-tinted specs. Tried looking for a video of it online to refresh the memory but no joy so far.

Got to agree with this version, ball bounced up, ball to hand as they say these days....goal should have counted even with the 'clearer' older rules.

Yes, pal. As I said in my previous post it just accidentally touched/brushed his hand,in those days if it wasn't deliberate hand to ball,then it wasn't an offence, but as usual the red twats got all the decisions going their way.

No chance Alan Wiley was going to allow a last minute winner against United at Old Trafford!

No chance Alan Wiley would be allowed to give a last minute winner against United at Old Trafford!

Just a slight edit.

Alan Wiley,now there's a name from the past who should be in a rogues gallery.
Didn't he award a penalty to Leeds when we played them at Elland Road and Alan Smith was fouled outside the area, but that myopic wanker decided to give them a penalty !!!

 

[Blue Mist]

People profit from things a lot worse. If he has profited who cares? He deserves it!

He literally fed thousands of children within the last year and made sure they didn't go hungry. That obviously makes him far more marketable and profitable.

We all know the real reasons he's being attacked.

Don't care he's a United player, he's a very decent person and a credit to this country and this city.

You don't really believe what you posted do you ? Literally fed thousands!!

I also assume you are playing the race card with 'the real reasons he's been attacked,' very poor.

And sent Van Buyten off for the foul?

 

[Ric]

Yeah, that penalty and red card was another scandalous decision. Keegan was fuming afterwards:

"I don't know what Manchester City have done to this referee but it's clear we've done something and it's his fault that we've got nothing."

Keegan slams 'poor' Wiley

CITY boss Kevin Keegan launched a scathing attack on referee Alan Wiley after the official cost his side at least a point in their crunch relegation clash at Leeds.
