[Archived] Mancs V Rovers Carling Cup Second Leg

[RevidgeBlue]

Have to disagree with Will, I thought the atmosphere from the 6000 Roverites was blinding at the last OT semi final. "You've only come to do your shopping" - sums the job up perfectly.

I'll be there. Part of me is loath to contribute a single penny, let alone 31 quid, to Glazer's mortgage debt but it's a semi final and I can't not go and support us in those circumstances.

Plus the more I rerun Wednesday's game in my head the more I think we can pull off an upset if we take our A game to the Theatre of Merchandising.

Also have to disagree with Will the support last time was brilliant..

That was also the utd view, on their messageboard they stated that the rovers support 6000 was louder than the 9000 south coast muppets who had been there the previous week in the FA cUp 3rd round namely Pompey

Q...When do tickets go on open sale?

yup.

Think they will appeal it though. Thought it was a little harsh myself.

[sleepyjack]

I think he will be, doesn't he miss the next three games?

United might appeal successfully though. It never looked like a red card offence to me.

edit: pff, too slow.

stop Rooney and you stop united

it appeared today that uniteds other players are not simply on the same wavelength as rooney.

united now HAVE to progress in the fa cup and they now MUST win their in the middle league game.

Rovers have an opportunity beckoning and with a rested Bellamy its looking 10/1 odds are inviting

Well, one good thing about yesterday is that it has weakened the Mancs for their game against us. Cristina will be unavailable (might have been a tad harsh but there is no denying that it was late, dangerous and with murderous intent- even RFW has said he was wound up after a decision which went against him) whilst there seems to be a growing expectation that both RFW and Rooney will face charges for the half time fracas yesterday.

Quite apart from the suspension(s), losing 3-1 at Citeh has ended the Mancs good run and shown them to be distinctly ordinary. And as for Evra, hope he plays like that against us.

The Mancs have Liverpool next Saturday which the scousers will be really up for as they will move ahead of the Mancs with a win. It will certainly be a very tough game and no doubt more histrionics etc.

That should be a cracker of a game! Probably the 1st time in alot of years, Liverpool will feel they`ve got the better team. Expect fireworks for that one!

Even better- it's the Sunday 4pm game so we have an extra day's recovery over them.

Here's hoping the Mancs get a good kicking off Burton mid-week as well. RFW has got to put a few more first teamers into the team for the replay surely?

[SAS]

lets hope that liverpool game is very dirty and several get sent off including shrek

[greggyk]

could be suspended anyway. Reports in todays papers say he insulted the ref at half time and could face a ban.

[1864roverite]

Rooney to be charged ? UMMMMM interesting. I wonder how this one pans out.

Rooney 3 game ban for that abusive behaviour

Nelsen banned for 1 game for stating the truth

makes you wonder ????

[Claytons Left Boot]

Whilst getting my daughter a ticket for the Bolton game at dinner time yesterday, I enquired about the United cup tickets. Are there plenty left? Pause - wry smile - yes. I'll be getting mine at the weekend.

Come on Rovers - only one game off a cup final.

[Hasta]

I'm getting the train over but, if it goes to extra time and penalties, anyone know if you can get a late bus back to Blackburn?

[cn174]

Just checked the last national express train, but that goes at 22.45

One of your best bets may be to buy a ticket for away travel, go to the game on the train, then get back on away travel, because getting the last train (and bus) at 23.08 will be pushing it

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

What's the chances of the Rooney situation being resolved and having his possible ban active for the second leg?

Ronaldo definitley banned for the second leg ... If we can get those two out of the picture that's a start at least.

[philipl]

No doubt there will be headlines one way or another about Rooney and Ferguson when the Referees reports are analysed by the FA at lunch time.

Ferguson has said that Scholes is out for another two weeks with blurred vision.

[Presty On Tour]

rooney, ronaldo, scholes out, fergy maybe banished to the stands, giggs, van big lips, and saha down with food poisoning!!!

[Hughesy]

United have challenged the red card and have their hearing tomorrow. Give him an extra ban for challenging the decision
