The Dream, The Beautiful Game

No one should be saying 'hala Madrid'

No who you are, you know that Real Madrid did not deserve to win. They played half decent for about 13 minutes after Nani has been sent off, and that is when Modric and Ronaldo scored their goals.

Mourinho has gained my respect by acknowledging that Manchester United have played better football. However, that’s what it’s like in soccer, and life in general. It is sometimes unfair, but you have to be strong and continue your journey.

Now I am a Manchester United supporter, but I feel that the referee should not be blamed. It did seem dangerous, there certainly was contact. It was a harsh decision but I reckon we should understand that being a referee isn’t easy. It is a tough job. No one is to say whether or not it was a wrong decision, as at the end of the day, its down to people’s perspective.

Now let’s move on from the defeat and focus on the FA cup and more importantly the remaining matches in EPL, particularly the Manchester derby.

On 24th March 1997, Robbie Fowler was awarded a penalty in a top of the table clash against Arsenal after being apparently tripped by Arsenal goalkeeper, David Seaman. However, instead of appealing for a penalty like most would, Fowler got up immediately and wanted to get on with the game only to be told that a penalty was to be awarded. He then turned to the referee and waved dismissively, indicating that it was not a penalty and Seaman should not be penalized. He had simply tripped and Seaman had not touched him. Despite Fowler’s honest dismissal of the ‘foul’, his protest fell on deaf ears as the referee ultimately awarded LFC a penalty. Modern footballers could seriously take a leaf out of Fowler’s book and start displaying such sportsmanship rather than dive and roll all over the place at the absence/slightest of contact.

During his last football match , a Russian player has been subbed out for his 5 year old son in the 66th minute. The other players let the kid score a goal. (x)

Still proud to be a United supporter! And always will be.
