Guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 What was just a stroll in the park for United was turned on its head by a dreadful, dreadul refereeing decision. When only 15 yards from the incident and looking straight at it the referee saw cynical Ballack send Evra crashing to the ground with a horrific elbow to the face. Instead of blowing up straight away for the foul the referee for whatever reason allowed Chelsea to play the ball upfield against a clearly dumbfounded United defence to take the lead. I cannot for the life of me understand why Ballack was not immediately red carded. Maybe the referee took the Charit/Community spirit to much to heart, but what is shocking was that the referee never even gave a foul. He clearly saw it and again why oh why did he not immdeiately stop the game for a head in jury. To be fair both sides gave it a go but why oh why do we have those silly penalty shoot outs, especially in this competition. I'm afraid that one decision spoilt my afternoon. A referees job is to control a match and ensure fair play as well as protecting the players. He didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midfield Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I agree that it was a crap refereeing decision. Why the hell he didn't send Ballack off is bafflling to say the least. Rooney looked good in that role which can only be good for England. I can see those 2 teams, us and the scousers slogging it out for the title this season - that won't change. What concerns me is that from what I have seen this afternoon we are still way short of the likes of Barca in terms of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mariner Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 The football played in the PREMIERSHIP and teams within the PREM, is not based on flair, technicallity or skill but passion and pace which is probably the reason why Arses' finish 4th all the time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Judge aka RED OR DEAD Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Must be one of those typical Manure players - two faced, as Ballack was nowhere near the cheating Evras actual face, more like his chest/shoulder.

Fraggle Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I am another annoyed Man Utd fan In my mind, the game just showed how much of a dirty ****** Ballack is Clearly not up to the standard required yesterday, so he took it into his own hands to play the game the way he wants 2 play it If he wants to make illegal blocks like that, go and play rugby....

Suzie Chow Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The Ref was on the Abromovic payroll evidently ! I imagine that Evra in training is good on penalties but yesterdays was nearly as shocking as the one he took in the Audi cup final. Its a trophy that wont bless our cabinet this time but we may as well cement the premiership one in ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldy Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Never a sending off. Yellow maybe. Chris Foy was the worst ref in the Prem when he first appeared and he hasn't progressed much, if at all. I remember the CS was the 1st of the 7 trophies ManUre were going to win last season so let's not suggest it doesn't matter, although I couldn't be assed to go. Let some of the members have a chance of a Wembley ticket. First pen shootout win since 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fal lad Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 the com shield is classed as a friendly pidge so i think you can make the 7 subs allowed bollacks should of at least been booked, he blocked evras path, rooney received the ball and evra went for the return and bollacks checked him, yellow card for 'obstruction' the pens were piss poor, how can players of giggs experience miss from 12 yards, they get paid loads of money to win games, evra might aswell of back heeled it to fergie and walked off! it gives no indication as to where the league will go, it will be out of chelsea, liverpool and united, i think arse haven't got it in them to push for top spot, villa or spurs will finish 4th i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peppermint Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I know I am as biased the other way as Baldy and The Judge but how they can condone the thug Ballack I do not know. That incident ruined my day out at Wembley - I clearly saw Ballack elbow Evra and Mark you need to go to Specsavers if you could not see that. I wonder what people would have said if Ballack did that for his country against England - there would be an outcry. I have to agree with Baldy on one thing - Chris Foy is a very poor and inconsistent referee and I have yet to see him have a good game - there must be better referees that deserve showpiece matches. On the topic of inconsistency - Foy blew up immediately minutes before when Ballack went down and on that ocassion he started with a dropped ball so did not even give a free kick.

Guest The Judge aka RED OR DEAD Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Evra / Ballack and ManU lose possesion. Click on this link for proof that of the incident. I know I am as biased the other way as Baldy and The Judge but how they can condone the thug Ballack I do not know. That incident ruined my day out at Wembley - I clearly saw Ballack elbow Evra and Mark you need to go to Specsavers if you could not see that. Sorry Graham, but Evra was blocked by Ballacks arm on the shoulder, plenty of footage on youtube showing the incident. The ball was played onto Shrek who passed infield and ManU lost possesion, ref played the advantage rightly and ManU suffered due to poor passing. Agree that another ref may have given a foul and/or a yellow card. However, Evra clutching his face was just as bad, he is clearly trying to con the ref and get Ballack sent off. Better get used to ManU losing to Chels this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A One And A Six Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Evra made a meal of that and Utd had the advantage and lost possesion! I dont see a problem with that incident, besides Utd have nothing to complain about as Rooney was offside for his goal! Swings and roundabouts! As for Evra, he's one of the dirtiest players in the Premiership anyway, looks like he can give it but cant take it! :SM_carton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuvDRed Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Clearly no love lost between these two players,However one thing you can take from this game its between Manchester United and Chelsea for the title!!!!!

Guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Some rather irrational and biased comments. The simple fact is this. There isn't a pundit, presenter or player who did not say this was a cynical foul and should have been punished with a red card. The second thing is people say well man U lost the ball and then complained. I'm afraid it was all to plain to see that they were more concerned about the welfare of Evra than the ball. The third point and which is the most worrying is the responsibility of the referee to players suffering HEAD INJURIES. What I could not understand was that the incident happened directly in front of the referee who saw Evra go down with a head injury but inexplicably failed to stop the game so that the player could be treated. That is the referees responsibility. You can argue the point about fouls but when a referee sees a player go down like that then his responsibility is the immediate protection of the injured player.

gashead1980 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 If Man Utd's players were so concerned with Evra they would have went to see how he was once the goal had been scored instead of surrounding the ref! I was there and not one player went to see how he was they just left him lying there while moaning at the officials. They must have new he was ok.

Guest Peppermint Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Typical of this Forum on some topics! No comment from Mark about how whatever the point of contact most referees would have given Ballack a red card and some of the lenient ones at least a yellow card but nothing. I think if Gashead checked some United players did go to Evra - I was there as well and we all saw what happened. I was going to keep off this Forum in the cricket season but having put on the congratulations for Paul Hampshire I was silly enough to post other comments. Back to the Summer game. Perhaps Mark could be contemplating presenting the Club with a set of white shorts seeing he is so obsessed with the topic. As a matter of interest I have done some research with long standing followers and players etc of Newquay Football Club and they have played in black shorts on many occasions!

I dont see a problem with that incident, besides Utd have nothing to complain about as Rooney was offside for his goal! Swings and roundabouts! As for Evra, he's one of the dirtiest players in the Premiership anyway, looks like he can give it but cant take it! I would tend to agree with these level-headed comments. Evra was fouled, whoops, the ref made a mistake, Chelsea score. I think it's funny that it happened due to the fact that Evra was in no way injured by the "elbow" and could easily have got to his feet and got back in position. You lot are losing sight of what our beautiful game is all about (i.e. playing football with style, finesse and skill) and getting drawn into the cheating that modern day players try to get away with all the time. I hate cheats. If someone is injured, and require the “trainer”, they should have to leave the field of play for 10 minutes, monitored by the 4th official. If indeed they are genuinely injured, they will benefit from the recovery time. If they're not, they are only cheating themselves and their team-mates. Some rather irrational and biased comments. The simple fact is this. There isn't a pundit, presenter or player who did not say this was a cynical foul and should have been punished with a red card.

redruth_07 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Have to agree with a one and a six. It was a block, he stopped the run of Evra, yellow card max, yellow card for Evra for cluthcing his face (Rivaldo WC 2002 anyone?) Carrick lost the ball playing some silly flick, Chelsea score, end of. If they thought Evra was injured they would of kicked it out. Carrick could see the incident directly so if he deemed it not worth kicking the ball out then how can we call it a horrific injury?! The ref followed the letter of the law perfectly, if anything he should of booked Evra as it was a type of simulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashead1980 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Peppermint which players were they then? I was in the United end and the United fans were moaning cause no one went to see if he was ok. All of the players went to the ref instead, he was down for a good minute with no one with in 30 yards of him as we were all pointing it out. Either they new he was not hurt or they just didnt care!

If Ballack had man-handled ("hit", "elbowed", "shoved"...whatever) Evra in the street like that, would Evra have fallen over clutching his face and rolling around in agony? Go on, I dare you to answer "yes" and show that you have no idea about "life" in general. Anyway, I'm putting my handbag away now!
