17.2.15 Preston North End v Manchester Utd


Let me just clarify the details surrounding the 3-1 win by Manchester United.

Falcao did Fuck-all.




Wayne Rooney manages to stand five yards from the goal line, just to the right of the keeper, and narrowly avoid the ball as it passed him en route to the back of the net.  The keeper was most certainly distracted by Rooney's presence, and did not act or move in the way he would have if Rooney had been elsewhere.  In simple terms, if Rooney hadn't been there, the keeper would have saved the shot.  Thus, Rooney's interference with the play was indisputable.  However, a goal was awarded.

Wayne Rooney manages to leap over the keeper's outstretched leg, and fall over.  There was no contact at all, and yet he was claiming to have been tripped.  The resultant penalty saw Rooney score.

Marouane Fellaini managed to effect a small push in the back on the defender before scoring.  As the push was a small push and not a big push, the goal was allowed to stand, even though the defender was most clearly affected by the Manchester player behind him.

All three goals were contentious, to say the least.

Lucky cunts.
