You lost, accept defeat with grace and don't start blubbering, the ref wasn't great for either side and Kompany was stupid.

City looked better. 10 man City deserved to draw, really poor second half by ManU shocking in fact.
Lost to some disgraceful decisions, why should i accept that?
Kompany was stupid? what for winning the ball perfectly. No reaction from Nani says it all really, if there is a sniff of a freekick or card he will take it but he just turned round and tried to win the ball back.
Id rather we faced UTD than City tbh so least with City knocked out its one of the better teams gone.

Yes Komapny incident was not a red IMO, but the ref was ******** on both sides, fact.
I'm hoping for Swindon.....win win for me....
I suppose you're not the first person in the world not to get that ball-to-hand isn't handball, but, well: Unintentional handball isn't handball.
The Kompany sending off was a bit of a mystery yes, but it's impossible to say how the game would have gone 11 vs 11. United's first goal was completely against the run of play, and yet they still scored first.
It's weird that a player who could notoriously rarely finish 90 minutes in his prime, is still playing at this stage of his career. Maybe Ferguson's discovered a loophole that says Segways are legal on the field?
Yes, diving in two footed, studs up with a scissor action is at more risk of getting you sent off than not, that is stupid. Kompany knows that I'm sure.

The thing is the commentator said this as well, why should he have to react?
If he'd dived or waved a card then people would be having a go at him!
It was a stupid challenge and a clear red, you can have no arguments with the ref, especially after he let you off with Kolarov's second penalty foul.

When a win feels like a loss eh?
We really should have taken them to the sword second half it was all set up to go and score a 4th and 5th but ah well. Credit to City for their second half comeback.
As for the red card the letter of the law says it's a Red just as the letter of the law says Evans had to go back in October. Swings and roundabouts.
LOL at Biz thinking they should have had a penalty on Jones

Kompany was stupid lol... You can't seriously think that was a red card, it wasn't even malicious.

Oh yeah they're definitely favourites, Fergie is just too erratic now, on another day his decisions today would have cost us the match.
But it is hand ball and hand ball inside the box is a penalty, no?
Of course it is impossible but with 11 men there is a much better chance of a win.

Agreed, second half was awful.
It looked that way to the referee obviously, see my other post about it just above yours.

No. It was ball to hand. Simples
You lost to an Average Average player.
Give over.....you lost because you scored less goals....Kompany should know that two feet, studs showing is going to risk a sending off......
Utd denied a stone cold penalty, City denied one that was questionable at best....
City lost because they simply didn't take their chances, and Kompany made a poor decision with his choice of tackle.
