When the incident, I was sure that at worse, it merited a yellow. Kind of thing that happens all the time, specially at fast paced games.
But then, when I saw the replay from the ref's angle and you can see Nani feigning injury. I knew the ref was looking to give the red card.
Nani didn't help himself by rolling around at all. He should have apologised and that would have probably diminshed the punishment from what the ref had seen.

However, for Rio to got to the ref and applaud, that is disgraceful.

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?

What a horrible post. Nani being on the floor had ZERO bearing on the decision. The referee was producing that red card from the outset, that much is certain. I don't really want to discuss the right's and wrong's of the decision because it's tedious.

As for explaining the decision to drop Rooney: he did so before the game. Welbeck was the better man to nullify Alonso and is brilliant at turning defence into attack. Up until the red card, this was working perfectly. This was all explained quite coherently.

.......

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

What a crock of sh iet, grass roots level???
you do come out with some crap
