Derby Day - Manchester City vs. Manchester United - [R]

Mvf i could kiss you and bellamy!!!!!

Bellllllaaaaammmyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

******** yes!

Dicey moment here with the corner with just 2 min left.

Lescott just saved our match. That is why we got him.

Wtf is this shit omg... ******** you Atkinson, you ********ing wanker!

WOW... we got ********ed

Fix was in.

WHAT!? What!?

We played an extra minute and a half? Why? It should have ended as soon as we cleared that last cross in, that would have still been a minute and a half after the time they said. The FA is corrupt. Absolutely corrupt.

Was it or me or was Ferguson having a laff with the fourth ref?

insane game.

The establishment lets its voice be heard. "We want our Big 4 to stay the same forever. Thank you very much for trying to break into it in such exciting manner. We'll rake in the money from the false hope we give you. Again thank you."

That was pretty rig. Then seeing Fergie kissing ass with the 4th ref like he was thanking him for the extra time. That was just...I don't get why that's okay.

I'm absolutely heartbroken.

there are no words.

So Manure United scored in 6th minute of the extra time even though there was only 4 minutes of added time? Incredibly shoddy.

Seriously! i thoughts its against the rules to be canoodling with the refs at HT or during the game, especially in circumstances like today, where the ref clearly gave more time, it favoured one team, and then to see ferguson and the 4th ref kissing like that??? FA?? anyone?

I feel for ya bro You deserved more than that what that crappy ref gave you guys

I think I need to take a break from posting. I am absolutely furious. Before this match I had the idea that the league could be manipulated in order to continue to protect the economic security that the big four provides. But I honestly believed it was through policies that eventually created situations within the organisations that effected outcomes. I still do. But now, after that absolutely corrupt display, I believe it goes beyond policy into direct match-manipulation. It was not even subtle. We cleared it to the air twice, regained possession once, and under my many years of experience watching and playing football I know 99.9% of the time that would initiate the referee into calling the match full time. But he let them continue. Possession after possession after possession until they scored. Attempt after attempt after attempt.

I need to take a break and remind myself that as a whole this game does not effect my life and I need to accept the outcome and move on. That is difficult, though, as I have been for my life an activist attempting to end corruption in the many ways it has been identified and I have to saw no match before this has made my cynicism peak it's head as this one has. I am furious, disgusted, deflated, and questioning whether I should continue supporting with my money, time, and effort such a corrupt thing as the EPL.

Those are the only words I can muster that would be appropriate.

I blame Tevez for that goal, he should have chested the ball and kept it and not just head it off into the unknown.

Plus he gave that last freekick in the first place

I need a timeout or i'll post something and most likely get banned.
Furious does not begin to describe it.
I'll post thoughts in a couple of days.

Yeah I've gotta get out of the City section... Seeing all the United ads is making me sicker than I already am.

relax MVF, you guys are still sound.

remember, they've still gotta go to YOUR house!! revenge!!!

its probably best that you've played them early on instead of late in the season.

Also, you we're without robinho and adebayor and you STILL pushed them to the limits, deff deserved a point and wouldve had it if it wasn't for the corrupt ref and FA.

Also, look at it like this...

Yanited can't get any better, they were poor, they've been gifted two huge games now. they didnt BEAT us or you.besides, chelsea is much stronger than them, and teams like arsenal, City, Liverpool have much more room for improvement and growth.

Amazing Post.

Soccer and match manipulation is as prevalent as Steriods in Baseball.

that was simply shameful you guys deserved the point. How much more obvious of a fix can there be when SARN was practically on his knees giving the 4th a thankful BJ?

Nor do I. I don't think you'd see such a situation in other professional sports.

Good point.

At the very least, it is a shame that... for people who actually saw the match...
that a pretty damn good derby, just ruined by Creative Refereeing, and strong arm tactics
