View Full Version : Manchester United
After seeing all of the images and video I think it is safe to say that there is nobody which is exclusively to blame. The Roma fans started it but it is not as if this doesn't happen in most games, even if it is not to this scale. The United fans shouldn't of reacted in the way they did as there was nothing they could do apart from throw bottles and smack the plastic barrier. The Italian police shouldn't of reacted so harshly but you can understand why they did after all of the stuff happening around the time of the policemans death.
Basically everybody had a part to play in a situation which was always a possibility after that warning was sent out to the United fans.

As shown from the clips a women is pushed by one of the police for no apparent reason, then that guy gets hit on the head for no reason the Itallian police are complete cowards, a policeman was killed yes but it wasn't exactly English fans at that time it was a match between two Itallian teams..

Anyone can beat anyone on their day I believe, I remember we got battered about 3-0 of York once at Old Trafford I believe. It may have been 5-0 actually, my memory is rather stale. But I think you get the idea, despite United being a very good team, great this season in fact I still imagine Roma or AC Milan for that matter being challenging.
muhahaha

I can understand the Italian police using brute force and physical power if necessary. However some of the beatings they dished out simply cannot be defended, they cannot even be understood I'm afraid. Hitting someone on the head 7 times with a baton despite the fan already lying on the floor is absolutely pathetic, cowardess and inexcusable. The policeman could have killed him, it really was that stupid. I could understand the police hitting the troublemakers as they would soon fleet back but to continuously pummel helpless fans is atrocious. Fans now have dislocated shoulders, broken bones and bloodied faces.

True, maybe I should of specified that I believe they were right to react to the United fans but they definitely went over the top. I've just seen one video which shows one of the policeman hit someone, the person then tries to crawl away but the policeman grabs him and drags him back and hits him again. It is disgusting and shouldn't be tolerated but what I meant was that you can't blame them for reacting.

Everyone is to blame for various things according to the BBC's report. Missiles from both sets of fans, rushing the police, throwing seats and bottles at them. Didn't know until now that there was fighting before the game outside the ground as well.

Fair enough mate, I agree.
But as Badgerman has previously said: such stadiums appear to be a deathtrap for fans, and a haven for violence.

What sort of source is that?
All in all, most Italian fans seem like Ultras, which means that the actual ultras must be real horrid forms of life.

Those stadiums do seem a bit unplanned. If the section which the United fans were in was totally full then I wouldn't of been surprised if there was deaths. I mean if the police had rushed in and tried to beat the fans people would of been everywhere and there could of been trampling. I definitely think that the stadiums need to be looked at.
TADDEI!!
Great work by Totti and Mancini. 1-0 Roma!
Are you like anti-Manchester United?:realmad: Just get the fuck out of here if you want to talk these things. You make as if we didn't know he scored. This makes our moods spoiled more than they actually were when the opposition scores a goal.
Man u could pull a win back home in the second leg, roma's defense looked a little weak at times, i think Man u will come out with a 1-0 win, and go through.

I hope you're right mate. After thinking about it throughout most of the night, I do expect to continue in this competition and get to the next round. However, I'm not sure whether it'll just be 1-0, I have a feeling we may win 2-0. We'll be throwing absolutely everything at them and they'll crack I'm certain of it.

I'm pretty confident we can get a goal, when Rooney was getting amongst their defence they looked very dodgy and Rooney had a few good openings and Ronaldo had a good chance at the start of the second half. We are missing Scholes but Roma now have Perotta banned and he is as important to them as Scholes is to us.

Fucking hell mate, he's gloating, I bet none of your fans are guilty of any snide comments in the Arsenal threads are they? :rolleyes:
I think Manure will still go through though, I can see them taking it at home.
I think it is a case of who gets the first goal. If Man U scores first, then I think they will go through with relative ease, but if Roma scores first I think it will go to extra time...then it is anyones game. I can't see Roma winning over the 90 minutes.
If we manage to get through I don't see why we can't make it to the final, I don't see Bayern or Milan as a major threat.
Appears more violence happened than first thought, a United fan was also stabbed whilst in Rome. Disappointing to say the least, but I cannot wait for the return leg now.

ROME, April 4 (Reuters) - Manchester United fans and Italian police clashed during the halftime break at the Champions League quarter-final with AS Roma which the English side lost 2-1 on Wednesday.
Television pictures from Rome's Olympic Stadium showed Italian police wading in and flailing at Manchester United fans with batons with several United fans bleeding profusely from head wounds.
The trouble inside the stadium started a minute before halftime, when Rodrigo Taddei put Roma ahead and the rival supporters started to trade insults and throw objects from one section of the ground to the other.
One policeman was shown raining blows on a supporter who was lying motionless on the ground, and the pictures evoked memories of the 1970s and eighties when crowd violence and hooliganism was rife at European club matches.
A Reuters photographer saw one Manchester fan lying on the ground with blood coming from his forehead. The man was led away from police by other supporters.
A Roma fan who was in the stadium said the police made two charges against the English fans apparently in response to the throwing of missiles.
By the start of the second half the violence had calmed down.
An official at San Giacomo hospital in central Rome said one United fan had been admitted with a stab wound to the abdomen.
His condition was not critical but he would have to remain in hospital for at least one day, he told Reuters.
Italian news agency ANSA reported earlier three Manchester fans were later taken in handcuffs to the stadium's police station.
One of them was described as having a large head wound.
United fans were kept in the stadium for around 90 minutes after the end of the game before being escorted away.
As well as serious trouble at Italian grounds this season which peaked with the death of a policeman in Sicily, there was also trouble when Manchester United fans travelled to France to play Lille at Lens in February.
United had written to their travelling supporters earlier this week warning them to take extra care from Roma's "ultra" fans while in the Italian capital.

Cry me a river.
Man United are likely to go through anyway - they got the vital away goal. Roma bottled it yesterday. They should've won at least 3-1 at their own ground. The tie should've been wrapped up. If they couldn't do that, then I can't see how they're going to secure a win or perhaps even a draw at Old Trafford.
Then again, Man united have hardly been inspirational in the Champions League.

Since the Premiership is the first priority (for me) Scholes' sending off doesn't seem so bad as it means he will get a good weeks rest between Premiership games which can only be good.

i hate hearing about "first priority" every club should try to win in every competition, Man u are a big club they should want to win everything they can, especially when there having a great season.

I obviously don't want to go out in the Champions League but I would rather win the Premiership as it would just show that we have a squad good enough to compete with Chelsea.

We haven't shown that we can compete with Chelsea though, they have won the Carling Cup already and are still in the other 3 cups. If we can win the league it shows that we can go the whole way with Chelsea, if they end up winning the league then people will be saying that our squad wasn't good enough.

It is, and I wouldn't want other competitions (where we've never played well in this season) to fuck up a great chance of winning the league.
Some good and bad news for the weekend. Evra is back in the squad but Park isn't back. Hope fully with Evra back Heinze will go into the middle with Rio and Wes Brown will go to right back. It is going to be a hard game down at Fratton Park and with Chelsea playing before us they could really put the pressure on, hopefully Chelsea will drop points though as they've got Tottenham.

Fergie's right to have a go at the Premier League. Spurs having to play at Chelsea just 36 hours after playing in Spain is ridiculous. :no:
But hopefully Spurs can pull off a shock and get a draw. There aren't many other games (besides Arsenal) where Chelsea might drop points now.

True, they also had to play the FA Cup replay against Chelsea 36 hours after the Reading game.
Here's the squad for todays game,
Van der Sar, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Brown, Heinze, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Richardson, Eagles, Rooney, Smith, Solskjaer, Saha, Dong.
Personally I would like to see the same team as the one which played Roma, Solskjaer deserves another start as he was one of the best players in midweek. Can't see it happening though as Saha is basically fully fit. Evra's back thank god, hopefully O'Shea won't start.
-------------VDS---------------
Wes------Rio-----Gabi------Evra
--------------------------------
Ronaldo--Scholes--Carrick--Giggs
--------------------------------
--------Rooney---Solksjaer-----
That's my hopeful starting line-up.
vanNistelrooy
07-04-2007, 13:16
Against Pompey's centre backs I'd prefer to see Saha start. Hopefully his pace would cause them a lot of problems.
Chelsea dropping points again the Spurs team that Jol has put out? Not a chance.
Oh dear God, Richardson, Fletcher and O'Shea all starting, this game has loss writen all over it.

Get Solksjaer on then, he did well against Roma. I'm still confident we can get the win as Ronaldo hasn't really had a chance to run yet, just wait until they start getting tired.

You are right I was shit at Maths but that is hardly relevant. What I was getting at is them winning 6 will be enough to win them the Title in my opinion.
As I said in the Chelski thread the long you stay in the cups the better. Your lack of squad depth and over reliance on your "old" players will be your down fall.
Ferguson wanted to rest Giggs today for that reason, he would have loved to have given Scholes a chance to come off with about 15 mins.
He knows what I know and what anyone with half a brain knows. Chelski are warming up and you are winding down.

Giuseppe Rossi's goal for Parma against Livorno today:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1JP3FDQC
Ferguson has lost the plot. First he said Scholes should not have been sent off in the roma game (HAHAHA) he virtually assulated Totti with the second tackle and the first one was just idiotic. Now he leaves out key players for a game it was clear they were going to struggle in. I looked at the run-in and portsmouth away, was the hardest. Win that and you are home. Lose. and it gets interesting. I hate Chelsea, but i hate man u even more so i want Chelsea to win the prem, Liverpool or roma for the CL, watford or blackburn for the FA cup and spurs for the UEFA cup.
Ferguson has lost the plot.
That's just silly. Man Utd are still in the driving seat and I fancy them to hold on.

Wow, whatever your name is (Liverpool fan) you seemed like this is the highlight of your season. Which is remarkably sad.
As for the game, the only players who actually wanted to win were Rio, Gabby and possibly Rooney, along with Smudger coming on later. I thought the combination of O'Shea, Richardson and Fletcher was terrible enough but when Giggs came on he had a case for worst player. His passing was equivalent to that of Van der Sar's awareness lately. He only played well for maybe 5 minutes towards the very end, otherwise he was shockingly shit. Van der Sar can just stop being a pratt as well, an experienced world-class goalkeeper turns into piss overnight it seems. If we had Foster back I'm sure he would get his game next Premiership match. We need Vidic and Neville back, possibly Evra too as without all them our defence were shaky as fuck. Worse than a Watford backline, and Middlesbrough stuck 4 past them yesterday.
PS: Has anyone received their Roma tickets yet ? United appear to be fucking everyone about, or at least us.

It just depends on what you like, The Bishop Blaize has cheaper drinks than a lot of match-day pubs. However it's a modern-looking pub instead of the old traditional pubs, it just depends what you like. There's also a place across the bridge called "Lime", I haven't been in there myself but it looks alright. It always appears packed so it could make for a decent atmosphere before the game.
Finally got my Roma ticket, but because United have been so late with this, we're having to pick them all up just outside the ground I guess. But thanks to United being morons with regards to these Roma tickets, my mate now can't go it seems.

As long as Totti and Perottat are not playing I am happy.
United and Arsenal are tipped to rival each other for the signing of French international winger Franck Ribery this summer.
The Marseille winger has openly voiced his desire to feature in the Champions League next season, and he may depart France to realise his ambition.
The Daily Mirror expects Ribery to command a fee of around £13million, with long-term admirers United and Arsenal the main contenders for his signature.
Rumours persist that United are set to renew their interest in Tottenham's Bulgarian international striker Dimitar Berbatov when the transfer window re-opens.
The on-song forward was linked with United before signing for Spurs last summer, and the player himself claimed there was strong interest in his services from Old Trafford.
Martin Jol has voiced his intent to keep hold of Berbatov beyond the end of this season, but various tabloids continue to link United with a summer bid in the region of £19million.
Berbatov joins long term targets Owen Hargreaves and Nani on Sir Alex Ferguson's supposed shopping list, while Mikael Silvestre and Wes Brown continue to be linked with Newcastle.
Link:http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid=%7BB4CEE8F A%2D9A47%2D47BC%2DB069%2D3F7A2 F35DB70%7D&newsid=416553
I like the news of Ribery(perhaps our new number 12 or 17). I'd prefer him over Nani(even if he's Portuguese) because he's got more experience which will help us for the following seasons and because he can play on both the right and left sides of midfield and forward wings.(LMF,RMF,LWF,RWF) He's good at tricks too, so is Nani but I still prefer "Scarface". There's also a young guy from Marseille, name's Samir Nasri( He's French although his first name is muslim) He plays very well both for his club and the France Senior National Team.
And I think we'll need to get in a new defender after offloading "Alien-head" and "Brownie".
I can say that our attack force is pretty good(apart from the fact that Ole will retire this or next season),
We've got:
1. Wayne
2. Saha
3. Smudgy
4. Dongy
5. Ole
6. Rossi
If Ole and Smudge are leaving it leaves us to 4 which is alright but then IF, only if Rossi goes on loan again, we can get a forward on loan, someone like Guddy or buy a young attacker like Babel from Ajax(don't think he'll be expensive.)
Concerning our midfield problems I still maintain that we must get some one like Sneijder, Kevin Nolan or someone in the mould of Viera or Roy Keane.

I think Roma were robbed. Man Utd were extremely lucky on each goal, and did not deserve to go through. Their movement and commitment was appalling. Tactically, they were unprepared, unimaginative and not at all creative.

I saw all the goals and Smiths was the best, great team move. It's a good time to get Smith back with Saha not being fully fit and he should chip in with a couple of goals.

They are reporting the trouble outside as Italian Hoodies battling with the police. Bollocks.
My mate was at the game and said that the Mancs tried charging the Roma fans (none of whom are Ultras as the don't travel Away in Europe)
and after about 3 attempts the Roma fans threw a few bottles back.
Poor old United and they call us the Self Pity City. Fucking Hypocrites. While I am against the innocent amoung them getting a good hidding from snidey Ities Bizzies I know what these gobshites who call themselves Fans are capable of.
Every Year we go to United and we see the kind of selective policing that they put on show and invariably a few of us get our Heads kicked in. What is done ? Fuck all.
United come down for a Cup game and are met by a group of Scousers. A few items were thrown but none landed on their target and it was not possible according to court records to see who threw them. The whole thing was deemed a "riot" when it was anything but and not one fucking dig was thrown. Prison time all round.

As a football fan you live for nights like that for your team. WHAT a performance and the higlight of the night was seeing Smith score. I love smudger.
UNITED!! UNITED! UNITED!

for the first time, it was worth it waking up at 2.30 am in the morning even though I have school later that morning. Really liked Fletcher's performance last night, one of his best!
Great seeing Ronaldo scored 1st and 2nd goal in CL too

Marvelous in every way. A glorious example of counter attacking football with pace and precision. What better way to beat an Italian team (albeit one that doesn't exactly play like the Italian stereo type).
Well played Smiffy, put pressure on the centre backs constantly and Fletcher stopped the midfield from settling into any kind of rythm.
Recon a wager was agreed during the match between the lads to see who could chip the keeper, Rooney from half way line, Smith edge of area and Oli left foot later on.
Sky crack me up.
They are reporting the trouble outside as Italian Hoodies battling with the police. Bollocks.
My mate was at the game and said that the Mancs tried charging the Roma fans (none of whom are Ultras as the don't travel Away in Europe)
and after about 3 attempts the Roma fans threw a few bottles back.
Poor old United and they call us the Self Pity City. Fucking Hypocrites. While I am against the innocent amoung them getting a good hidding from snidey Ities Bizzies I know what these gobshites who call themselves Fans are capable of.
Every Year we go to United and we see the kind of selective policing that they put on show and invariably a few of us get our Heads kicked in. What is done ? Fuck all.
United come down for a Cup game and are met by a group of Scousers. A few items were thrown but none landed on their target and it was not possible according to court records to see who threw them. The whole thing was deemed a "riot" when it was anything but and not one fucking dig was thrown. Prison time all round.
Another classic example of double standards. Fuck Sky Fuck Man United and Fuck your Hooligans who one minute want a scrap and the next minute are crying on You're on Sky Sports because the got a kicking when they were after a fight.
I haven't seen Sky Sports yet but they usually just pick the most dramatic interviews to twist things it has to be said.
I was right next to everything flaring, whether I missed anything I don't know, but I strolled into it all at around 6pm I think. From what I saw mate, the Roma fans were certainly the more imposing of the two sides. They charged down us first, and that's when loads of people backed into the Megastore and what not. Then something on the far side happened and I'm not sure whether it was Roma or United fans, but there were hundreds sprinting somewhere. After all the taunting from both sides and gestures, it all started to kick off with about 50 United guys rushing towards the crowd of Roma fans. They soon seemed to back away though after Roma started through bottles and other shit. Soon after the Police arrived, yes, the Police were barely there when it was all happening. The Police were shite as well, they seriously hadn't really turned up until it was beginning to die down.
What I didn't like to see was some from the Roma section I believe hurling bottles and what not at the Police horses. I don't think the Police did enough though to really squash the mayhem, they just stood around for the most part. They may not have beaten anyone to death but they were fairly late to get into the action.
I don't want a hostile reply from you though mate, since it seems it's being kicking off in this thread lately. I'm just saying what I saw, as I was literally yards away from the scenes.
IT WASN'T A DREAM!!!!
I like woke up today and it really happened!
A little late but great game by united against Roma, as I was supporting Roma at the time, Cracking highlight real.
Carrick's goals where brilliant. Good luck the rest of the tourney unless Milan faces you guys. :D

Erm...Liverpool fans attacked the ambulance that Alan Smith was in when he got injured. Enough said!
It was undoubtedly the best game I've been to, it had absolutely everything needed to create a quality match. I certainly don't condone violence or hooliganism but I think the early sparks and scraps helped build a better atmosphere in and around the ground. The place was buzzing throughout the game and it's definetely safe to say we got the upper hand on the Roma fans when singing for the majority of the match. I believe this is the first match I've ever been to at Old Trafford where pretty much the entire ground has been singing and what not. It proves that Champions League nights are incredibly special, they always have that extra something to take a game from great to extraordinary. The whole place was rocking on a lot of occasions, it was incredible to be a part of.
When we first got our tickets at the Office, they said "North East Quadrant Tier 2" and I thought lord, it might be a graveyard night. And when I was strolling up to my area, I saw some padded seats nearby and again thought - graveyard. But, shockingly, everyone seemed to be going for it, standing, jumping, singing, it was something special. I haven't even got onto the game itself yet either. :laugh:
I loved the fact we were going into the game 2-1 in a way, because we had to come out of the blocks with aggressive attacking football. That we certainly did. Smudger was superb, constantly closing down the Roma defence and forcing them to play panic balls. It was the perfect example of defending from the frontline. Fletcher also played top draw, and he chased every ball down and helped open up the play along with Carrick and Giggs. There was always that extra pressure of Carrick to score more this season, and recently he's been answering the critics so I couldn't be happier. Both very well taken goals, especially the second, it was an absolute beauty. The first was nicely comforted into the net, but with so little power the keeper should have at least tried stretching for it, although his view may have been blocked, I don't really know. Ronaldo again was shining extremely well, in the opening few minutes I was unsure whether it was going to come off for him tonight. However he just outdid himself with the performance, he was unreal. Even the many tricks he was trying in the latter stages were being pulled off well.
It was good to see Van Der Sar being the controlling goalkeeper we all know him to be. Plucked several crosses out of the air with ease and made one or two decent saves when called upon. Overall though, his job wasn't too difficult considering we raped Roma. I honestly can't say any one of our players last night played poorly, or even average. On another note as well, the Referee had a very solid game, allowing free-flowing football and making the correct decisions 95% of the time. He should be chuffed with his performance, I'm sure he slept easy on the night.
The scoreline was astonishing, it felt so good sticking it to the horrible Roma fans. I'm still dumbfounded by the brilliance of the performance and 7-1 victory. The football on show was class A, we probably could have beaten any side in the world last night from by playing like we did. It felt quality being involved in the night, and I'm sure I won't ever forget this match. I'd also like to point out Sweey, you were right, you posted saying United would win easily. I doubted that and stated it'll be a struggle, I guess I was wrong. :laugh: Not only did we slaughter them, we did it without the likes of Vidic, Neville, Scholes, Saha which is even more respectable. They're 4 very key players to our success this season, this just epitimises the spirit of the team. I do feel that the crowd last night were the 12th man though undoubtedly, the noise generated was amazing and I haven't witnessed anything like it.
From what I've heard and seen Roma actually made you look better than you were :tongue: Doni was asleep most of the time and Chivu probably had his worst night ever.
Anyway, I don't want to take anything away from you, a superb performance and a deserved semi-final spot!
So have any of you sat in the North stand. If so whats it like?

Don't get me wrong, United were tremendous last night, but as someone who looks out for Roma, I must say that Doni should be shot and I have never seen Chivu like play like that.

I agree with you about Chivu. I'd say he is one of the better defenders in Italy.

Doni Played terrible. He loves coming off his line. About 4 of the goals he was too far out and Rooney, Solskjaer and Smith all tried to lob him at some point aswell.
I think Ferguson wanted Bayern München by the look on his face.

That said this United are better and this Milan arn't. Interesting that two players have really come of age, Kaka and C.Ronaldo.

Liverpool, no questions.
Liverpool, no questions.
Quoted in agreement. We have proven that we can beat Liverpool whereas we have never really done it against Chelsea. It also looks like Chelsea are getting back to their best so they would in my opinion be the hardest team to play in the whole of Europe.
Liverpool for me as well. I wouldn't mind playing Chelsea either, beating them in the CL final, FA cup and the Prem would be quality.

Chelsea being a good team doesn't bother me, in fact, Liverpool are easily a better CL side in my opinion. It's just the history between United and Liverpool which would make for a better final.
Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer admits his club could be tempted to sell midfielder Owen Hargreaves when the transfer window opens.
United have been consistently linked with a move for the England international and allegedly still have an offer on the table for his services.
Beckenbauer told German television channel Premiere: "If it is right there is an offer of 25-30m euros (£17-20m), then I would seriously consider it.
"I think the board also think this way to satisfy the needs of the player."
Hargreaves has openly voiced his desire to move back to England on several occasions, with Sir Alex Ferguson making no secret of his admiration for the 26-year-old.
Just been reading about this, I wouldn't mind getting him but for £20m it would be extortion. I would think £8m would be a fair price but as he is English his price was always going be bumped up.

Ridiculous if we went for him. It's not as if he's a young potential world class mid either. Money is needed elsewhere or to be put to better use.

i get the whole scenario man...just why suddenly pop up and say this now.
I've seen Hargreaves yesterday. Tried to cross it from the left with his left foot, t'was the most terrible cross I've ever seen.
You are better off buying Van Bommel if you were to go after a Bayern player. He's a right cunt, but he has a killer mentality. Or Lucio, it's surprising how much attacks come from him.

A couple of years ago I wouldn't of minded Lucio but nobody is going to break the Ferdinand-Vidic partnership. I would like to get Van Bommel if he was cheap even if he is a prick.
Lucio as a DMF?
I think he could do a job there.
Anyway, rumours over here say that you guys are interested in our iceman guddy. Any thoughts?

I suppose that Ferdinand could go DMF but I wouldn't want to break up a great partnership and I can't see it happening.
Once again maybe a few seasons ago Gudjohnson would of been a good buy but he is getting on in years and what we really need now is a poacher. I am confident that once we have Saha, Smith and Rooney all fit and then maybe get another young striker then our attack will be strong enough.

As I said earlier, Ryan Babel, Klaas Jan Huntelaar or Chinedu Ogbuke(He scored 8 goals in his last 8 games, according to Wikipedia) would be good choices.
Then we'll need one winger IMO either Frank Ribery or Nani would be fine and a good centre-midfielder, i.e Wesley Sneijder, Kevin Nolan or Nuri Sahin.
And I'm pretty sure we'll get 3 of these players(SMF,CMF,CF) for no more than 25 million pounds, i.e the price we were going to pay for Hargreaves.
As you have noticed I mentioned 3 Dutch guys. It's nothing racist, it's only the fact that they are great young players. Given the good coaching, advice and guide they'll become world-class.
