Common sense.
Normal.
Typical football view.
There are lots of rival fans that are trying to find a way of interpreting the rules to suit there predictable stance that it was a red.
But the truth is, even life long Liverpool fans like Phil Thompson know that it was a joke.
Its embarrassing when rival fans try to argue the obvious.
You can bet if that incident happened in United's favour they would all be claiming that the ref is biased.

It is also very arrogant for the manager not to
make any post match interviews.
Explain why he left out Rooney from the starting
line up, SAF?
.......
Why should he have to explain his decisions? He can do what he likes.
He was far too emotional to give his views in a rational way 10 mins after the game, I'm glad he stayed away.

Other fans only wanted him to give an interview so they could cry about him slating the ref. It's pathetic.

Exactly. Opposition fans will certainly miss him. Of course, they won't admit that.

Your making yourself look a clown here, dragging something up from 7 years ago, your telling us to over something that we disagreed with, a lot of people have said it wasn't a red a few have said it was but the blôody goal your whining about i bet you couldn't find 1 Utd fan that said is was a goal so your comparison is way off the mark!!!!

I find it hilarious that some fans are telling us to "get over" something that happened only four days ago. Whilst i agree that what has happened cannot be changed and therefore we need to move on, i see no problem in United fans discussing an incident (an important incident) with each other, especially when said issue is less than a week old.
Furthermore, this article was about something on Gilette Soccer Saturday only a few hours ago so again, what's the issue with talking about it.
Two things:
1) If opposing fans are so tired of us talking about the red card, then why oh why are they on our board reading posts which are clearly about the red card? Leave us to it if you really find it that tiresome.
2) The fact that this particular time it is a Spurs fan telling us to get over it makes it all the worse. Although i generally have few problems with Spurs fans, it is rare that a week goes by on forums where Tottenham fans don't bring up "that" goal at Old Trafford. Yes, it was clearly over the line. Yes, it was an awful decision. We accept that; it's not as if we're debating that issue. But as has been mentioned above, the incident was 7 years ago so how can a Spurs fan sincerely tell us to "get over" a 4 day-old incident when so many Tottenham fans are clearly still hung up on a 7 year-old incident.

morespurs is sarcastically clapping a ref worse than telling a ref to f off?

It is quite funny how people continue to say it is red and how they know people who are refs and all said it was def a red.
Know one has even mentioned discretion, I coach and ref kids of all ages up to 16, if I saw that happen with a good view I would try to use common sense.
Nani was looking at the ball trying to control with his foot. He had no intention of trying to hit/kick Arbeloa.
If we start giving reds for this, football will become non contact.
Be careful what your wish for.........

I thought the red was harsh, but I've got it's supporting mates who ref at grass roots level and they said if it had been in one of their games they would of sent him off.
Ref perspective it will always be a red
