Gotta love how herrera was completely fine with it 
Noble carrying herrera off the pitch
- Thread starter Someone
- Start date
That's an assault. This isn't WWE. Should have been at least a yellow.
What a cretin.
I'm not one to moan, but on what planet is that not a yellow card?
It was absolutely moronic, and should have resulted in some form of punishment. If the player in question is seriously injured another player shouldn't act the hard man hero and grab that player to force him off the field, potentially exacerbating the injury in some way.
He wasn't really. Herrera told him to "feck off" shortly after.
It was a dick move from Noble. If Herrera was injured that could have potentially done him more damage.
If Herrera had a short fuse and wasn't as intelligent, he would have turned around and thumped Noble in the gob.

He's already done it once before this season. I think it was one of his teammates too.
Noble is an utter cretin. Ref was even worse with his lack of backbone, should have been a booking. Idiocy all over.
Hate to be a moaney old cnut but I didn't think it reflected well on us. Can you imagine Noble trying to carry an injured Utd player off the pitch if we had someone like Roy Keane playing for us?
We need more nasty bastards in this team.
The ref should have booked him of course but he was utterly hopeless all game so I wasn't surprised he just looked the other way and avoided doing anything.

Not sure how that wasn't a yellow. Was hoping someone would knock Noble on his ass after that, not injure him mind you.
Was pretty funny tbh
Seems a weird thing to be that upset by, tbh. He basically cuddled him 5 yards off the pitch. No harm no foul. It really doesn't need any further analysis.
People are angry but i'd be happy if one of our players had enough passion to do something stupid like this, being too nice gets you nowhere.
this
Found it funny as well.
I laughed. I'm not sure how it's not a yellow card by the letter of the law but I still laughed. Fellaini or someone should have sorted him out though. Oh well, we won, so I don't care.
Yep. I'd love it if someone carried Rojo off the pitch and never let him back on.
It wasn't that big a deal was it? If there was any risk of him injuring Herrera further, he wouldn't have been allowed to do what he did.
Some player did it before this season. Pretty shit as player could be injured and moving them could make things worse but last time nothing was said about it either.
Noble has a philosophy....
Eh? Who decides whether there was any risk of him injuring Herrera further? And no one was left with much option. There's not a lot of time to react when he decides to pick him up and carry him to the sideline.
It was ridiculous the ref didn't do anything. Imagine every time a player gets injured on the pitch an opposition player takes it upon himself to lift the player up and throw him off the pitch.
I agree with most of what you said but he didn't lift him up and throw him off the pitch
Herrera should have swung an elbow at him.
Noble is a bellend who will do anything for some affection from the fans. Shame he's such a shite footballer.

It obviously gave Guv'nor Noble the required bollock growth to try that hilarious 92nd minute volley, so I'm perfectly fine with it. Cockney twat
There's nothing "too nice" about not hauling an injured player off the pitch so play might resume half a second earlier. It's being a cnut for no reason and I'd be annoyed if one of our players did it because it should be an automatic yellow card and it'd be a completely meaningless and stupid action to get a booking for.
Drops him off the pitch then.I agree with most of what you said but he didn't lift him up and throw him off the pitch
If I were Herrera I'd have dropped like a sack of shit clutching my ankle as soon as he dropped me.
Social media generation. Fussy housewives the lot of them. I was laughing.
Stop being such a miserable bunch, we've won the game so it doesn't matter.
I thought it was funny, nothing wrong with it imo.
It was out of line but didn't seem violent, was pretty gentle from my perspective. More akin to the caress of a thoughtful lover than a battering from an opposing footballer. Hell, I bet Mata was a bit jealous!
Edit - I found a picture of Mata looking on as Noble and Herrera engaged in some gentle cuddling.
Ignore the kit
It was funny, but when Noble put Herrera down, Herrera should have gone down holding his ankle as if that did more damage to him.
I do find it weird the ref just let it happen without even saying anything.

Yep and rolled back on to the pitch
That was funny, no need for a card as there's no malicious intent.
I thought it made Noble look like an absolute wanker tbh. I'm not just saying that because I'm a United fan. I know if someone tried to do that to me, I would not be happy at all.
Battery is still under common assault, so he's sort of right.
Bellends gonna act like bellends.
If it was one of ours he'd see red
We can't all be rustic lumberjacks, pining for the working class men to push football back into the auld days.
West Ham can do one. From Bilic's whining after the first game to their players repeatedly trying to get ours booked and Noble playing up to the fans as the big man. It was funny at the end when he thought he could be Scholes with a wonder volley off a corner.
