Chelski look good for the Premiership title this season but my boys are not to be written off, can see a strong finish by them. Lets see who else gets a Champion League place and who doesn't ;)

This fine is nowhere near enough, but if it had happened here, FIFA would have............ I'll say no more.

It seems that Rooney is being targeted by the press once again, as he is now a Man Utd player.
His slap in the face to the Bolton defender is all it was, but I suspect Rooney will be heavily fined or given a 2/3 match ban :rolleyes:

Sir Alex Ferguson has branded Tal Ben Haim a disgrace and claimed the furore surrounding Wayne Rooney should not be allowed to mask the Bolton defender's attempt to get the England striker sent off.

To be fair - he intentionally struck another player in the face - he should have gone off for that, no question about it. SAF really needs to crack down on Rooney's lack of discipline now.

However Haim should also have action taken against him for play acting. In an interview to the BBC he said..

when Rooney hit my face I genuinely fell down out of instinct
...which, apart from being the most lame defence I've ever heard, proves he can not be trusted in a game as he will 'instinctively' drop to the floor under any contact in the game. Does 'instinct' also dictate staying on the ground as well?

Charge him with bringing the game in to disrepute for that and let's see a ban.

Hmmm the latest story in the never ending transfer rumors is that Pablo Aimar wants to come to Liverpool. :D :shocked: :eeek: :smokin: (if it was to happen which I don't think it will...prolly get a better deal from his current club)

Good result tonight for the lads :tu:

He's done it again - just when his future with United is called in to question, Giggs puts in a run of killer performances :D

Both parties are charged
What a shame :erm: the thug and the play acting faker are both being charged by the FA. Maybe it will help Rooney realise that he has to either calm his temper down or at the very least make it a little less obvious next time ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 
Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m glad both were charged and Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m quietly hoping Haim will get more of a punishment as heââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s admitted his instinct is to hit the floor and pretty much stay there. He should be used as an example to players who play act to get people like Rooney sent off.
