Just hope its a good game as im gonna be there.

[fatcollective]

hope its a great game...United to win!!!

[kai]

Close one - maybe 1-1 with a Utd win in extra time

[Insomnia]

At this moment couldn't put a score on the match, i think it could go either way to be honest, first goal crucial!!

Should be a really good game though, both sides going for it big time, should be a few cards maybe a sending off somewhere.......

[french_og]

I think Man Utd will win, Chelsea seem to be missing too many of their big players though injury.

[Richierush]

2-1 both ronnie's to score for united an drogba for chels

[french_og]

I think Bridge has been better than him when he has played this season anyway and has a much better cross.

[xes]

Both teams to die in a freak coach crash. Cup abandoned till next year.

[Numeric]

Spurs still wouldn't get anywhere near winning the Premiership...

:laughing:

[dan the acid man]

3-2 utd after extra time

[Aratron]

[DJsmallpaul]

Haha cool :)

[Esox Lucius]

listen to you 2 lancy's :cheese::; ronaldo to score 2 :laughing:

[Esox Lucius]

hope it doesnt go to peno's i want a proper winner, fed up of peno's.

[Richierush]

its only gud when ur a fan at penos when ur ass is twitchin :laughing:

[LittleMinx]

Well just seen the squad Sir Alex has put out and i think we got a pretty good chance of winning, reckon chelscum will be winning first half then United will come back and win in second half!!! 3-2 win........:;

Hope it dont go to penalties tho cant bear them.....:whoops:

[Will]

Both teams to die in a freak coach crash. Cup abandoned till next year.

That would also be acceptable.

[xes]

That would also be acceptable.

:cheese:

Anything'd be better than the shower of SHITE that I've had to endure so far.

[Ashley]

I hate it when it goes to penaltys, hopefully they wont have too

Hope chelsea get it, hate man u :briggin:

[LittleMinx]

Worse game ive seen, very disappointed :whoops:

[xes]

I don't even think it's a case of the teams quality cancelling eachother out. They've both played defensive and it's made for a very dull game.

not impressed,I could have been doing stuff way better,like punching myself in the head.

[xes]

shithouse chelsea win by the looks of it.

No team were wurthy.

[Ashley]

Well i dunno if they desrved that cos ive not even been watching it :laughing:

[Insomnia]

Not the best game i've seen but both were very defensive.....

looked like penalties were on the cards but Drobga gets his first goal against Man U and what a time to do it!!

[xes]

Not the best game i've seen but both were very defensive.....

biggest.understatement.ever.

[Richierush]

the match was shite not one to remember even bein the first one at wembly,didnt think chelsea were gona score was suprised,both teams were shite but i thought united were the better side an deserved to win more.but its the goals that matter as they say.great ball from lamps for goal.overall tho it was utter BOLLOX

[Esox Lucius]

was over the line that, ref was defo a chelsea fan! shit game though.

[dan the acid man]

yeah utter crap, total waste of time, good goal though

[basslinejunkie]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[DJsmallpaul]

What a pile of shit

[Esox Lucius]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

couldnt even beat an under strength chelsea.shite.

at least they have won something this season already, the biggest prize in english football, you havent won f.uck all yet so dont get cocky. forza ac!!

[Richierush]

yea i wouldnt speak to soon,liverpool such a BIG club might still end up with nothing

[french_og]

Crap game - glad i was P*ssed!!!

Glad Chelsea won though - gotta love Morinhio!!

[Esox Lucius]

he is sound jose like, loving those dog antics :laughing::laughing:

[Frank Dogshit]

knew chelsea would win...

united are gash.

[Numeric]

when i saw the formation i knew we would struggle, Sir f**ked up, he should have switched to 4-4-2 as soon as it became clear both teams were cancelling eachother out, which was like, two mins after kick-off...

what a let-down, the game was fairly s**t, good goal to win it...

ABU's f**k off...

[Traxx]

S C U M

[djfase]

I went and i have to say the game was awful.

Wembley though is summin else. ****in huge. Even my bro in law who has played in alot of the big national stadiums couldnt believe how big the place is.

Have to say tho, that where it is so big, it seems lose the atmosphere.

Was a shite day all round other than the stadium itself

[Richierush]

i thought the way it was built,the atmosphere was suppose to be better?:grr:

[french_og]

Obviously difficult to judge as not being there myself but i think if there was true Utd supporters there yesterday instead of the 'Prawn Sandwich Brigade' or an England game with proper English fans you would maybe see and feel a good atmosphere. We will see in time - England v Brazil is only 12 days away! Bring back Becks- he is having a blinder again tonight for Real!!!

[Richierush]

no good bringin him back,if he's goin over to a micky mouse league,he's a knob shud have come back the prem talk about bein under the thumb :laughing:

[french_og]

Gazza played for England when he was playing in the Mickey Mouse Scottish league so can't see the problem. His crossing will still be pin point whatever league he is in. He was brilliant last night, definately deserves a place it the squad and also he is fresh having not played 50 odd games like most prem players this season.

[Will]

was over the line that, ref was defo a chelsea fan! shit game though.

You can't just bundle the goal keeper over the line after he saved your shot fair and square! Should have been a free kick to Chelsea.

[kai]

Ah, but anywhere else on the pitch it wouldn't have been a foul as he played the ball first before contact with the player, all within one motion - therefore technically its not a foul, or wouldn't be any where else on the pitch, and therefore if the ball crossed the line it should have been a goal by the letter of the laws of the game as no foul has been committed and therefore its the defensive players fault for carrying the ball over the line.


Admittedly no ref in modern football would give it as goalkeepers are so protected these days, and I'd be damn pissed off if it had been given against us, but technically, following the letter of the law, it was a goal as the tackle itself didn't constitute a foul as the ball was played first.

As no foul was awarded by the ref then clearly he believed that none had been committed and thus the goal should have stood as it crossed the line clearly.


End of the day one thing it wasn't was keepers ball/goal kick - either give the foul or award the goal - to do neither is not an option in that situation as he is saying that a) giggs didn't commit a foul and b) the ball didnt cross the line - whichever way you look at it that is incorrect.


As a Utd fan I'd obviously say that the ref was correct in that no foul was given and therefore it was a goal ;).


End of the day though such is life, and it would have been a brave ref to give it in this day and age, especially in such a high profile game, regardless of the what the actual rules of the game state.

[Will]

Yeah, except you're not allowed to 'tackle' the keeper when he has the ball under control, so it was a foul!

[kai]

So why wasn't a free kick given? My point remains the same - it has to be one or the other...


...and did he have it under control? He certainly didn't have two hands on the ball when Giggs' foot connected with it - so the answer to that is no he didn't when the tackle was made.

All in all never gonna be given as stuff like that happens in split seconds in a melee in the box, so you can only ever say what the precise chain of events was with slow-mo replays but, technically, it was still a goal.

[nick_anarchy]

it was a shit game and we didnt dererve to win end of

It should have been a free kick of course, which is what I said in the first place. And yes he did have the ball under control, hence why he didn't spill it when he was tackled!
