7 Minutes in...Ji-Sung Park slots a goal away.

Unfortunate slip by Gibbs to allow Ronaldo's cut-back ball to Park.

1-0 Man U. Arsenal need to score three.

I was going to put a note on the thread-title saying you're not allowed to post, but I didn't think it's need it 'cause you wouldn't look into the thread anyway. But you're a cunt anyway. And also for reporting me.

2-0

Ronaldo drives a free-kick from about 25-30 yards out, and beats Almunia. Arsenal need 4.

Poor ol' Fletch.  Shit decision to send him off.  On a positive note,  bugger all in the trophy cabinet again for Arsene

Fletcher got sent off?

Did it deserve the red card, or was it two yellows?

Straight red. Ref viewed it as "denying a scoring opportunity", when everyone else saw it as "perfectally exectuted and times tackle"

wait what.


He pulled back him back and kicked his legs out from under him... from behind.


Clear penalty imo, and if you're going to call a penalty, it's a red card. Harsh, yes, but you can't stop giving out red cards because nice players lose the final.

Jebus: only barely, and that was after the shoulder pulling had started...

He took the ball away from the player before he knocked him down. Perfect tackle.

That was nowhere near a penalty, there is no argument against that being a fair tackle.

The "he touched the ball" argument is a bit weak.....if you go through the back of someone and get the ball you still give away a foul, it's in the rules.

Now obviously fletcher went around the side not the back, barely touched the ball and demolished fabregas. I don't think he moved the ball enough out of Fabregas's path to stop him scoring. Fabregas was still favourite to score, and he took him down = foul. He was last man, so it's technically a sending off.

It was a harsh red card to get, no doubt.

If you saw the view from the back of the two players you'll understand that he blatantly got the ball. the ball was going straight to goal untill Fletcher kicked it off to the side.
