Nani red card!

No he didn't, the other player actually chests the ball forward before Nan is anywhere near the ball which is why Nani's boots goes into the side rib cage and the ball goes behind Nani as the other player got there first!

You've seen what you want to see!.

Thankyou Robin. You have hit the nail on the head. It was actually a late tackle, with his studs showing from a boot above waist height. Sounds more and more like a red card to me.

It's not a case of me seeing what I want to see. If I honestly thought it warranted a red card, then I would say so, I'm not that biased towards M. United.

You're entitled to your opinion and so am I, so we'll leave it at that eh? :)

As a non Man U or Chelsea fan let me say that the above description of the incident is complete twaddle!

After all the flak that Chelsea have taken for their behaviour in Europe it was never likely that a Chelsea fan would take an objective view any more than a Man U fan.

However,the ref sees it once in real time & from one angle, he then makes an honest judgement. This call may well seem to us to be wrong but it isn't because he is the ref and, therefore, is right even when he is wrong. The alternative is not TV replays as football does not lend itself to the stop/start scenarios that the technology would require.

I think the difference is that Fish is stating facts on what happened and you are the one giving an opinion on what happened, big difference between an opinion and a fact.
 
So the concensus is he shouldn't have been sent off as he didn't mean it (as far as I can make out) what about these penalties that are given when a player is late to the ball and takes the man out, should these be given.

Eh? Of course it should be given! As a free kick should have been given last night! Cards are then given out depending on how severe the foul was...

Odd logic, to say the least.
 
Forget the context of the game and the fact it was Old Trafford. You are refereeing the Dog and Duck second XI against the Red Lion on the local red. Exactly the same challenge what do you do? I am a qualified ref and I would still send the guy off. Dangerous play is dangerous play. What happens if you don't punish it accordingly. The players take advantage and think anything goes and it becomes a nightmare fixture to ref.

and.. if you want to continue to watch this it underlines the Real madrid player running ONTO the ball and chests it forward and Nani comes into his SIDE as the ball is over him and comes with his studs up late into the player AFTER the ball has gone, FACT.

The first 2 images you show there are after the ball and proves nothing.

But the image you show on its own, proves that the ball is far closer to Nani than it is to Arbeloa - FACT.
And Arbeloa runs in to Nani before before he has a chance to get his boot out of the way.
That's how I see it, and that's a fact as well as an opinion.

Your deluded, watch the video, the Real player clearly chests the ball and gets their first, the ball is coming over Nani and the Real player is running onto the ball, Nani's foot and studs are high and the ball has gone when his studs make impact.

Your unbelievably biased!

You claimed earlier in the thread you are not being biased towards your team. So what are you saying now?

If Nani goes into the side of Arbeloa then it is Nani that has gone into him not the other way around due to the angle the incident happened at.

The video Adey shows all angles and clearly shows Abeloa is nowhere near Nani's body "to go into him" and actually chests the ball as he is running onto it, Nani's foot is high, the ball is coming over the top of him and his studs go into the Real's players ribs in his SIDE after he has chested it forward, its cut & dry mate, he's biased buddy, FACT :thup:

So in your opinion the rules are wrong then I take it?

I take it you see red golf balls through your tinted glasses?

Nani hit Arbeloa with his boot not the other way round.

I'm saying just how I see it, Man utd fan or not. Arbeloa runs in to Nani, not the other way round.

Obviously you use the same rose tinted glasses as the Man u loving premier league refs that you see at Old Trafford week in week out.......:whistle:
