Mancs Post Match

[Fredo]

And Redknapp's just a triffic ****.

Triffic

[Shaggy]

They also sang "if it wasn't for the Scousers we could stand", and "we'll sing what we want". They really are scum.

He's a ****, stick to your guns ffs.

Woke up this morning still gutted at the bias of Halsey but Talk****e are even on Evan's case now - fingers crossed they give him a retrospective red.

But throughout a rousing chorus of You’ll Never Walk Alone, while the words ‘Justice’ and ‘The Truth’ appeared in a mosaic across the Centenary Stand and the Kop, the United fans defiantly sang their own songs.

The sound was drowned out but, sadly, when the end of Liverpool’s anthem was greeted with warm applause around the rest of the stadium the away end launched into a rendition of ‘You Scouse b******s’ accompanied by more than a few obscene hand gestures.

It’s important to remember that United are no different to any other club in having an unruly element, particularly away from home, and that close scrutiny of any set of fans is unlikely to show them or their club in a good light. They have had to endure horrible taunts about Munich in the past, and you can only admire the way Ferguson and his club as a whole conducted themselves in the build-up to this game. But this was more than a mindless minority.

There is a line between the usual football banter, like the predictable barracking of Luis Suarez and the abuse showered upon Gerrard when he came over to take an early corner, and the kind of sick taunts we feared might be heard on Sunday. At times the United fans were dangerously close to it.

When a public announcement urged supporters who stood throughout to sit down, they responded by singing ‘if it wasn’t for the Scousers we could stand’. It was because of Hillsborough that all-seater stadiums were introduced.

‘We’ll sing what we want,’ was another worrying chant that did not bode well following the pre-match calls for sensitivity, before they goaded their rivals with ‘Where’s your famous Munich song?’

Thank goodness we didn’t hear it on Sunday.

But as United fans poured out of Anfield, separated from their rivals by snarling police dogs and ranks of mounted officers, you had to wonder just how far football has moved on since Hillsborough.

Was watching Rodgers today. He absolutely flipped about Reina playing the ball long twice around 70ish minutes.

[Fredo]

I hate football.

[SB]

We knew we had a tough start to the season & it starts now IMO.

Not a big fan of most of this article, but at least they got this bit right unlike motd's absurd analysis

Liverpool played well yesterday, and they could certainly argue the refereeing decisions went against them. I can’t see how Jonjo Shelvey was sent off and Jonny Evans stayed on the pitch. That was a case of penalising the player who didn’t get hurt after two identical challenges for the ball.

There’s also no doubt in my mind Luis Suarez is a marked man by the officials, missing out on penalties in consecutive weeks against Sunderland and United while tame decisions, for Danny Welbeck against Wigan and for Antonio Valencia yesterday, were rewarded with very dubious penalty kicks.

They think you're a previously banned poster

Well they should count this as the only warning they'll be getting to stop playing amateur detectives.

If we have any previously banned members on this site, as usual, the mods will identify and deal with the person in due course. Seeing as we have access to useful things like IP addys, and are relatively experienced in telling the difference between attempted obfuscation and ones which happen to back up everything an individual has said about their location in a manner which is very difficult to fake.... and even if it wasn't would be way beyond the previously demonstrated technical expertise of the banned member concerned.

So seriously, enough of that, several of you owe apologies imo, and everyone should remember to direct concerns in the first instance to the mods rather than the forum as a whole so as not to make themselves look silly.

I'm almost pleased that Sky are showing the footage of those tacky classless scum cunts chanting because now they're being shown up for what they are. You can say it was a "minority" all you want but that footage isn't 20-30 people, that's a huge section of a 2,800 crowd chanting.

And as for the provocation - where's the proof? In this day and age of cameras on phones and nobody thought to take a photo of the Liverpool fan making airplane gestures? Until I see any proof I don't believe a word of it - they waited all ****ing game to act like scum and then did it when they thought nobody would see or hear it. Well guess what, cunts, the world ****ing saw it and now they think as little of you as we do.

The so-called 'provocation' doesn't matter - during the game, completely 'unprovoked', they sang "if it wasn't for the Scousers we could stand" (I suppose that one has 'nothing to do with Hillsborough' too ), "justice for Heysel", "where's your famous Munich song?" and "we'll sing what we want". They're cunts, plain and simple, and they have been completely and utterly shown up for what they are.

They are complete and utter scum, top to bottom. And should be treated as such. Scum.
