Amsterdam Tournament

Man Utd 3-1 Porto
Inter Milan 1-1 Ajax

I thought Man utd played quite well, especially when they went down to 10 men & the ref was just stupid. Rooney did not deserve to get sent off.

While Inter didn't perform to their usual standard, mainly because I think Mancini hasn't finished on the transfer market, I really think Inter need a new striker.....Luca Toni?!

It was 9 men, Scholes went aswell, how was Carrick?

**Dr. Bob Kelso** · 04-08-2006, 23:09

Luca Toni would surely be where the smart money is for next Inter striker.

**Rambo** · 04-08-2006, 23:10

Carrick was ok

What kind of side did Inter play, were some of the players who featured in the world cup missing??

Hi,

Well, first off, I must confess that I didn't really watch these games live, although I got the chance to check the replays later on. Now, more specifically, about Rooney's red card... please, are you THAT blind?!... Come ON, he just showed that he's not the poor little victmized angel that pretty much all of you stood for! He's a great player - no doubt about it! -, but he's as bully and agressive as any other player; what, you're going to say that he didn't hit FC Porto's player on purpose? Was it just ANOTHER accident, like when he stamped on Ricardo Carvalho?! He IS a dirty fouling and tackling player, no matter what...

I'm sorry if I'm annoying any of you guys, but these kind of things have got to be said (gosh, I wonder if it were the other way around - a Portuguese player hitting Rooney).

Cheers

actually it was an accident. Plus that porto fag didnt help himself when rolling on the ground, constantly having sneaky peeks to see if Rooney got sent off

He might have a temper, but even the Portugese must see that that was never a red card.

No one is saying he is an angel he didnt deserve to be sent off in tonights game but he did in the world cup vs Portugal. Portos player did the same thing to Solskjaer the ref let him off, im afraid the ref just wanted to make a name for himself.

Before getting up the porto player made sure he was sent off, its only a friendly anyway no big deal.

Sneijders goal for ajax was brilliant.

I really don't know what else I can say!... Whatever, keep blaming the portuguese cheats as you always did (and will!)...

Cheers

**Ziss** · 05-08-2006, 02:40

Portugirls are cheats, I'll keep blaming the poofs as much as I like.

If it was an accident he has got real problems. He is going to get sent off everytime he goes for a header then because his arms came up and he led with his elbow.

**Rambo** · 05-08-2006, 09:39

Like I said in the Man utd thread the sending off was bullshit. One Porto player done the same thing to Solskjaer and I thought it was worser than what Rooney did.

The Italian league starts later than all others, therefore Italian teams start pre-season training later and are always a little bit behind. That has more to do with it than Mancini's transfer requirements. There will be a new striker soon though.

Obviously I'm going to defend Rooney's case here but I'm certain I'd do the same if was an Arsenal player being shown the red. The decision was stupid, simple as that in my mind. Its clear as day that players need to push their arms when jumping for leverage, its happened so many damn times without people even recieving bookings let alone a red. As manutd4ever pointed out, Solskjaer was on the recieving end of a flailing arm not long before the Rooney incident. If the ref is going to try and officiate he could at least make himself fucking consistant. Worst-case scenario is that we may have to suffer in the Premiership now due to some dumb-arse referee who couldn't officiate a Sunday League game.

The only thing right about last night was that the officials were sponsored by SpecSavers.
