Tempers flare over United's controversial Champion's League football victory
Manchester United snatched a vital 1-0 Champions League last 16 first leg victory in controversial circumstances against French side Lille.
Ryan Giggs scored directly from a quickly-taken free-kick with seven minutes left but that incensed the Lille players who were still trying to construct their defensive wall.
The game was briefly held up by protesting Lille players at Lens' Stade Felix-Bollaert as the home side seemed set to walk off the pitch.
Their behaviour incensed the United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I have never seen that before in all my years in football," steamed the United handler.
"That is a disgrace and UEFA have to do something as that was pure intimidation of the referee.
"Its a disgrace. However whether we should be awarded the tie is an area I wouldn't go into. It will take an hour or two for me to digest what went on out there. They the Lille players tried to get my players to go off the pitch and that is disgraceful," added Ferguson, whose players have been known for intimidating referees over penalty decisions down the years.
However Fergie's outburst drew short shrift from Lille counterpart Claude Puel.
"I don't know how that man (Ferguson) can allow himself to comment like that about this. He should have said nothing," stormed the 45-year-old.
"The team wished to make a complaint about the goal and didn't want to leave the field. They were just making a protest.
"In France the tradition is to make a protest at the first pause in the game and then after the match."
It was an unfortunate way to end a thrilling second half that swayed back and forth.
There was a brief spurt of activity during the first-half at the United fans' end of the stadium as four away supporters scaled the pre-Hillsborough style fences and tried to unbolt the gates.
They were quickly apprehended by the French police and despite some sustained goading from certain fans, the match proceeded without another incident.
I look forward to Lille players taking the ball in penalty area & chiong into the goal, thus taking this controversy to the next level! -
Wow, didn't know MUFC had Uefa officials in their pockets too.

1) if you did, they did take the ball into the penalty area, and chiong into the goal. But in the process, they pushed the defenders to the ground.
So that's okie with you? if you say fine, then fine lor.
2) if you did, then you would have seen half the team walking towards the side of field with the coach waving to the players coming off.
3)I am unsure about tradition, but after acknowledging the goal, you go to start the game with a kick in the middle of field. You kick the ball out and then you start to complain. Make sense to you? Shouldn't you complain immediately after the goal?
If all your answers are "yes, that's fine with me." Well, that's fine with me too.
Just make sure you said fine when your supported team get the same crap, Okie?
I believe you are unbiased and intelligent fan..right? -
they should walk off and become thailand no 2

you should catch the other game, 5 goals leh.. -
unlike AFC, where national ties are also considered, No team in UCL dares for fear of being ban, and that's mean $$$ lost.Originally posted by pierre^^:they should walk off and become thailand no 2
MUFC can't afford that, Lille or any of the 15 UCL, only one.
so naturally, everyone will try to "defend" that they did not walk off.
What happen is after the goal, Lille went to middle of field, kick-start. And then kick the ball out of game, went to side of field to have a conference.
Perfectly normal, right?
"Yes", answered all MUFC haters..
rem, whats come around goes around. -

What the french coach is saying is that they are making a protest, and they can't find a UEFA delegate to protest. so they gather all players together while the game is still on. Make sense to you? -
no answers? Must be Chelsea right?Originally posted by iceFatboy:just for interests, which team in EPL doesn't "cheat" accordingly to you?
They are the most angelic, most loved and best respected EPL Team.
And they don't have to resort to any "cheats" to win.
Right? I totally agree. -
a win is a win.......
-
And the officials got it right wad..No?If not sme copy and paste the rules about taking a direct FK here?
-
Did you see the Ref whistle for the free kick? or else dun tok c0ck as if yr mouth is farting!
This incident is no diff fr that Italy league incident where the ball-picker ownself throw the ball into an opponet's goal to help his home team win.
-
Wat makes U think i woke up 2 catch the ManU show? U dun tell me what me show 2 watch retard!Originally posted by iceFatboy:since you already established that MUFC's cheater, why wake up so early to catch the game??
you should catch the other game, 5 goals leh.
Anyway for yr info, the everyone who saw the news on this match agreed that ManU cheated to win this match! of course, that excludes ManU fans like U. -
the ref does not need to whistle to indicate the start of a free kickOriginally posted by fucmusppl:Did you see the Ref whistle for the free kick? or else dun tok c0ck as if yr mouth is farting!

such is the pressure to win nowadays that players will resort to anything to win it. this is the reality..
whether or not its ethical or professional is another story.
anyway, pls argue constructively, don't use any vulgarities. -
They learn from Thailand larOriginally posted by pierre^^:they should walk off and become thailand no 2 -
they should implement a rule stating that any direct free kick @ the opposite half should have a whistle b4 the ball can be played
anyway man utd really disgrace english football by winning in such a way -
Don't come & act blur lah! Reading, Watford, Spurs.....all these EPL matches got MU cheating stamp on it.Originally posted by iceFatboy:What's is so like MUFC to do? How is it correlated to drawing against Reading?

but does not matter they are going to get knock out for sureOriginally posted by allentyb:a win is a win....... -
Why are we arguing when the result is already set?
Just saw the highlights, saw the free kick, saw the goal, saw the celebration. Somehow I felt that they should not celebrate it that way as its not really glorius
