Champions League 16th/17th *Spoilers*

WTF has Carrick been sent off for?

Can 2 bookings be retracted?

 

[4p]

Lol, appeal.

 

[nikebee]

Why the hell was Carrick sent off?

It was Evra that kicked the ball away, you even saw in the replay Carrick wasn't anywhere near it... he even asked "What for mate?" to the ref?

Good victory, we should have held on to 3-1 to be honest... Nani was so wasteful it was just ridiculous... Rooney stole the show for us with Valencia playing very well when he came on.

Really want to know what Carrick did/didn't do though...

Pretty good result for Utd, should hopefully finish them off at OT.

"some people not doing their job right"

hmm nani.

 

[Peg]

Stoke with a goal ruled out in the 96th min, wrongly according to the radio too!

As bad a decision as you will ever see. The referees are deciding who wins matches these days and not the players. On that performance from Man City though Liverpool have nothing to worry about as far as 4th place is concerned.

"some people not doing their job right"

hmm nani.

Evans too I would say... he was poor tonight.

hmm nani.

That's a little unfair, I think you can point the finger at most of the team. Evans and everyone across the midfield were very poor.

nani didnt get one cross near its target player. valencia comes on first cross rooneys head.

Can you appeal a sending off from two yellow cards in the Champions League?

I remember with Fletcher last year they said you can only appeal a case of mistaken identity (hence why we couldn't appeal the card and Fletch missed the final last year).

 

[syke]

Can you appeal a sending off from two yellow cards in the Champions League?

If it was mistaken identity, iirc?

 

[Gilly]

No. The inability to appeal a yellow comes from FIFA, I think.

He was one of the worst but tbh I think rooney's head wasn't right in the first 1/2. I am pretty sure that Nani got 1 very good cross in and Rooney turned around and starting moaning about it.

England fans: Should beckham be in the england squad? The guy offers nothing from play...

 

[nikebee]

That's what I would think personally, but I've got a feeling it is only straight reds.

You're probably right tbh.

I've only saw a brief replay of the sending off incident. It does look like Carrick flicks it away.

Very harsh though.

 

[Slogan]

United fans have nothing to complain about, Ferdinand should have went in the first half.

The replay Sky Sports showed during the game was Evra running away with the ball and Fergie/Carrick both confused as to why Carrick was sent off. Fergie actually thought Evra had been sent off from what I saw.

Good result in the end. seedorf made a difference but I am cautiously optimistic now for the second leg.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Lovely, Almunia, Song, Eduardo and Arshavin all out for tomorrow. Business as usual I see.

 

[nikebee]

Just saw the reply on SSN... Carrick flicked it on - fair enough - a bit soft I guess but can't really complain about it.
