No doubt it was stupid, but a lot of what Keano and Cantona did over the years was equally daft. There is a fire and unity in this squad and its the type of passion that wins you trophies.
We've been a soft touch long enough. A sort of passive bunch that went along for the ride, enjoyed the wages and rested within the cozy confines of there being no expectations of silverware because we're a work in progress.
Shaking with anger thinking about that
They wouldn't have fecked with McTerminator!McTominay nowhere to be seen when the going gets tough, of course
this white text should be unnecessary but it isnt because some of ye are massive gowls
I genuinely misread your post the first time I read it, by swapping the “off” and “one”.
The Old Trafford Brawl v Arsenal 1990(?).
That incident has stuck in my mind ever since. I was absolutely fuming at how weak it made us look. It epitomised the softness and mental fragility of our teams since Fergie retired.
I still remember Ruud getting swarmed by Keown etc and only skinny Ronaldo who was here for 10 minutes came to help him.
Yet you have posters blaming Antony for the card. Players defended their teammate from a cnut push by Schlupp.
Actually, it should be 'third man in, from whichever team, gets a straight red'. I don't really like rugby as a sport, but they have a sensible view on this; 2 players can have at it but if another gets involved they're gone straight away. Its why you don't see as many multi player brawls in rugby. Other sports like gaelic football and aussie rules could do with this rule also.
They may be younger supporters who have understandably meshed into the modern ethics of the game. Show 'em a few oldies and it should set them straight
I was at that one, Les Sealey was as mad as a March hare, don't think I ever saw a keeper run so quick!
Have you seen how steep the drop off from the pitch is? Antony used a lovely touch/flick to pass the ball and got brutalised. The anger was justified. I would have been angry if that happened and our players didn’t react and took the opportunity for water break.
We both did. Arsenal won the league that season.
100% Schlupp didn't even try and get the ball either, just ran and clouted him straight off the pitch.
Yeah I would have been at that one as well, knew we both got deductions but couldn't remember which one it was for, Nutty Norman was and is my favourite United player
He got carded ultimately but might have been for his role in the fracas rather than the original “challenge”.
Don’t think he got anything. The ref really lost control and then to try and make up for it just sent off Casemiro. I think even in the angle he looks at you can see Schlupp grabbing Fred by the throat. Appalling refereeing when you consider he has var to help and replays to look at.
Doubtful considering he was playing for PSG.
That one. That's the one. I couldn't believe our guys just let that happen. After that it was always pretty hard for me to personally take anyone's hardman credentials seriously. They just let Arsenal players do that to Ruud.
