What happened with Rio? (merged)

Re: Ferdinand

How wrong are you on this?

'Show passion for their club' - Adebayor never gave a shit about city. He never again ran like that for us.

It was all about him and sticking up the Arsenal fans. Twt of the highest order.

You are wrong by reading that I loved Ade's celebration as him showing passion for City. I said I want celebrations like that in the game. Then I said I want players to show passion for their club. Two different things

Re: Ferdinand

Infront of his own fans?

Im not a fan of the incitement argument either. Players from both sides get a load from the stand. If they score and give a bit back then fans should be able to take that if they have been giving it out. Verbals yes, but to reach in your pocket, select a coin and lob it is not a knee jerk reaction, just a cowards thing to do.

If we had scored a last minute winner at the swamp Id expect our players to celebrate in a similar manner.

Incitement is no defence at all. Players should be able to celebrate without fear of being hit with objects from the crowd (incidentally, is trying to take a corner an act of incitement now as well?).

And what about us as supporters? Is it alright for someone to lob a coin or seat at us just because we incited them by celebrating (or sometimes by our mere presence)?

In my opinion the incitement argument is just an excuse for a lack of self control - we should all be big enough to accept responsibility for our actions.

I'm not trying to excuse it or say it's acceptable, but after the Chelsea fans lobbing a chair on the pitch 6 weeks ago when half the team ran up to the MH stand, you would have thought the United players would have known that something could happen.

In the euphoria of a last minute winner you wouldn't even stop to think about it - as fans we've all experienced that feeling, why should players be denied it.

Re: What happened with Rio?

We should all be adult enough to cope with someone celebrating in front of us without resorting to anything more than a few verbal.

The thing is, which won't be mentioned, is Rooney slid in front of us, got up and raised his hands in a "come on" motion. He thought he was good playing big daddy dick when there were police between us and him.

Responding was idiotic, but he literally asked for it.

Not condoning the idiots, but Ferdinand needs to have a word with rooney, he was the one who caused much of the reaction, celebrate in front of your fans fair enough, but what he did was incitement.<br /><br />-- Mon Dec 10, 2012 10:54 am --<br /><br />

Was anything thrown from the Utd end after they scored?

Stuff was thrown both ways.

Re: Ferdinand

I love the term "missile", it conjures up such images as

as opposed to

The dirty rag is doing a lot of shit stirring on several threads

Yep, he's a typical rag ****.

Glib little **** was not so cock sure back in May and shouldn't be today. They were second best all over yesterday but took their very few chances. It's the sort of win we used to manage when we were shit and they were great.

Voicing an opinion is now shit stirring n bring a glib little **** is it?

Re: Ferdinand

4 minutes of added time and we actually played about 30 seconds of football in that time.
A different story for last time Atkinson reffed a derby

Re: What happened with Rio?

Obviously what happened was not good and cannot be condoned!

However am i the only one who finds the footage to be amusing.

Does this say more about me. Am i Evil. Possibly?

Still looking forward to seeing some quality gifs

I don't think it's amusing really Chris. Bad for our club, bad for our owners and I really hope that the people who threw coins are identified and banned.

Re: What happened with Rio?

It's wrong to throw anything. The aim is to injure and harm. It's sad if people think it is acceptable

What's happened has happened, so for people to sit wringing their hands from upon a moral high horse really achieves nothing at all.

I'm with you Chris; it would have been preferable for it not to have happened, but now that it has I can certainly see the funny side of it.
