Noble carrying herrera off the pitch

i'll join you. Sickens me how a United team has become so lily-livered. disgusting state of affairs tbh.Well I'll go and do it then.
This is why I think we should have kept Ando. Try lifting him up Noble, you cnut.
So it turns out that Herrera actually damaged his foot, therefore Noble could have exacerbated the injury by his idiocy.
Why he has received a retrospective punishment, I have no idea.

If Herrera ends up missing 2-3 games, he might as well have given Noble a swift left elbow to the jaw as he tried lifting him up. He'd have missed the same number of games for the subsequent red card he would've received.
The Gerrard wannabe prat.

Absolutely insane is Herrera was actually injured and Noble isn't facing any punishment. Could've easily worsened his injury. All they're doing is encouraging more bollocks like this.
I've always thought he was a fairly fiery, passionate character. Look at the way (even on the bench) he celebrates for a starter. He also had a bit of a rep for being a dirty bastard in La Liga, and he gets stuck in on the tackling for us (at least he did when he started)
On the other hand he's a fairly smart lad and probably knew he could have been carded if he reacted, so maybe that's why nothing happened.
I'm more annoyed at the rest of our team for not reacting and sticking up for him.
In fairness there have been instances this season where players have waded in on behalf of their team-mates, one that springs to mind is Lingard. I'm sure he's done it a couple of times, perhaps for Rashford against city?
You could imagine Sir Alex's reaction it someone did that to one of his players. He'd currently be serving a touchline ban for slaughtering the referee in the post-match interview.
Probably double ban for slaughtering Noble as well.
Id love to see him doing that to Roy Keane
Or he should ask Fellaini to do it. He's employed with United for something
That's one instance & I categorise Lingard as one of the young lads in fairness. Totally agree though, he got stuck in against City defending Rashford. Him, Martial & Rashford taking on City & putting the senior lads to shame.
Like I said, I'm not condoning violence, or stupidity, but watching a player get man-mangled off a pitch like a wayward toddler was embarrassing enough without having everyone else watch on without any reaction at all. Maybe Van Gaal has drilled any cognitive thought out of the players entirely!
Yh I think this is probably the main reason. I think a few of our players have probably got an eye on exits this summer and it never helps when you don't know for sure who the manager will be next season. The club has been pretty quiet about backing VG and seems to prefer to not say anything which doesn't create stability. A lot of players probably just waiting to see what happens before calling their agents and seeing what is available. Sad but true.
Didn't see him pick Vardy up to shift him off the pitch. More disappointed in Herrera doing nothing about it to be honest.
Tom Cleverley did something similar to Neymar in the Olympics, which I'd say totally undermines everything about that point.
i hate time wasting... i'd probably do the same if i were noble, even though there was nothing wrong with what herrera did.
He was injured wasn't he? So might not have been capable of sprinting off.
Yes he was... I'm just talking about time wasting in general. It's not as bad in the premier league as it is in Spain and Italy.
