Double standards

Duke – one comment:

‘For his first goal, Alcaraz was skinned so easily he was made to look like a potato by Patrice Evra’

eh?

Sorry Micky but I’ve got to go with the Duke on his take of the game.

Indeed sir….

however…… his “Being the leading advocate of the ABU Supporters Club (Anyone But United) I am incredibly biased. Let me categorically confirm that I’m probably the biggest hater of Manchester United there is out there. But can you blame me?”

……..tended to taint his report.

But hey!….free press and all that.

You may have a point there… :lol:

Thanks also to those who have contributed…..with a common sense and realistic approach.

Jason….if your thanks was aimed at ‘Duke’ then you need to read his contributions before publishing them. That, sir, is appalling.

“Being the leading advocate of the ABU Supporters Club (Anyone But United) I am incredibly biased. Let me categorically confirm that I’m probably the biggest hater of Manchester United there is out there. But can you blame me?”……he said

……and then you allowed his tirade….(Phil…..better than diatribe eh?)

Seriously you (Duke) then said……….”Connor Sammon accidentally caught Michael Carrick with his hand whilst attempting to shield the ball and immediately a red card is produced.”…..it was no accident – it was no red card either (sh one tee reporting duke).

Then this beforehand….”I fully expected us to lose against United on Boxing Day and anyone who thought otherwise is quite frankly a deluded idiot. The red card didn’t affect the result, but it’s the principle that is totally wrong.”

Deluded I may be…but from where I was sitting/standing we had their measure…on the break, and apart from Connor not making ‘the header’ we ‘could’ have made a better game of it had we stayed with a full team. May I say…….Ronnie played a blinder down the wing….with some glorious balls in there.

Different eyes and different perspectives fella…….however, please continue to give us your insight.

Safe New Year to you and all of yours……….[/quote]

I think your analysis is a tad harsh but I shall respond.

Stating early on that I dislike Man Utd was nothing but a light hearted warning to readers that the subsequent opinions might seem slightly biased or extreme but not to take them to seriously. I think you’ve taken it too literally.

I don’t see what you’re getting at with the Sammon/Carrick description. No it wasn’t a red card offence, but one was given. I fail to see what was wrong with that paragraph.

I agree with you about Ronnie, but I still don’t think even he could have got us anything out of that game. The fact we’ve lost our previous 13 against United with 11 men suggests we were always destined to lose this one.

And Standish, sorry for the shite comparison. Pressed for time and all that. :cheer:

Have a good new year guys.

Okay apologies, we’ve only lost 12 meetings with 11 men. Hardly a great record.

I still think regardless of Sammon’s red the result wasn’t in any doubt.
