– If it was any other club or player, you can bet your life he would have been sent off. But officials seem intimidated by the words “Rooney” and “United”. Manchester United are allowed to get away with things the rest of us get pulled up for. And you can’t have one set of rules for one club and another for the rest. I don’t care what the FA say about the matter being dealt with at the time by us getting a free-kick. They, and everyone else in football, know justice isn’t being served here. The FA will be delighted they can hide behind their rules and let Rooney off, as they are frightened of taking sanctions against him and his club.
Wigan-ejer Dave Whelan om Wayne Rooney’s albuehændelse i lørdags.
Stille? Der er ikke så meget at sige andet end at West Ham fortjente hvad de tog. Samt at træerne – King Kenny eller ej – naturligvis ikke vokser ind i himlen fra den ene dag til den anden. Der er en stor genopbygning forude. Al den spiller/tilhængersnak om Champions League-kval til maj har intet med virkelighed at gøre.
Jeg synes der er foruroligende stille omkring forgangne weekends Liverpool-kamp?
😉
Gad vide om Chelsea manageren, på samme måde som Mr. Ferguson gjorde med…suk..Wazza, regner med at pressen nu jagter Luiz til bålet?
Men for én gangs skyld har Ferguson noget at have det i. Tyndt, tyndt straffe. Og Luiz skulle have 4 gule kort.
Så glemmer vi det faktum, at Rooney ikke skulle have været på banen.
Whelan’s ord om favorisering af Man U holdt så ialfald ikke stik her til aften. Hold da op, et blødt straffe til Chelsea og noget af et mirakel, deres Luiz ikke fik rødt kort, inden han i al hast blev skiftet ud. Er ret sikker på Alex Ferguson er af samme mening… 😉
Og Torres? Fire kampe, endnu ingen mål for Chelsea.
@ Jimmie Jazz – Agger stopper den fremstormende Torres i decideret kamp om bolden, fair eller over stregen, det kan man så diskutere. Men sangen til trods svært at sammenligne med overfaldet, hvor den så ofte helt overtændte Rooney planter sin albue maksimalt i baghovedet på en intetanende Wigan-spiller, bold ikke i nærheden.
Alex Ferguson’s kommentar bagefter til hændelsen var iøvrigt ikke så lidt afstumpet.
@ Rozzer – Det er rigtigt, havde helt glemt den mærkeligt optakt til den match. Noget må være gået galt mellem turtelduerne siden da, at dømme udfra Whelan’s udtalelse i dag.
“his forearm proved he was a red agger agger
he smashed torres in the head agger agger
he kept him quiet all day long so now weve made him this new song
danny agger liverpools No.5”
Men det er jo selvfølgelig noget HELT ANDET 😉
… og i Liverpool blev Agger fornylig folkehelt for at give forræder Torres en på skallen.. ja, ja…
Ingen respekt for hverken Rooney eller Dave Whelan, efter Whelan sagde dette, da vi sammen med United kæmpede om titlen i 09. Og tabte!
“Wigan chairman Dave Whelan says it will be a ‘shame’ if the Latics beat Manchester United and derail their title challenge.
Whelan – whose JJB Stadium office is allegedly decorated with photographs of Sir Alex Ferguson – has called the United manager a ‘maestro’ ahead of the clash with the champions-elect.
United need just four points from their last three games to win the title and they are widely expected to win three of those against a Wigan side managed by Old Trafford defensive legend Steve Bruce.
Liverpool fans will not be buoyed by fawning comments from Whelan.
“I think United are the heart and soul of football. Bobby (Charlton) is an ambassador and does a fantastic job for football,” said Whelan.
“When you talk about the maestro (Ferguson) himself, he is just something different. He’s probably the greatest manager that football has ever seen.
“I wish I had been in a position to play under him. He is Man U through and through. It is just a pleasure to shake his hand and welcome him to Wigan.
“I always have a drink with Bobby afterwards. Sir Alex always has a drink with Steve Bruce and they get on so well together. It is just a shame if we lose or if we beat Man U.”
Det Rooney lavede på fodboldbanen havde været vold på gaden og en medfølgende dom havde været uundgåelig!
