MrRed Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Jeffrey Schlupp: Man Utd to discuss deal for Leicester striker Leicester City could be on the verge of agreeing to sell Jeffrey Schlupp to Manchester United, reports BBC Radio Leicester. Schlupp, 20, has been on trial with the Old Trafford club for more a month and featured in two under-21 games against Liverpool and West Ham last week. Jeffrey The Ghana international is mainly known as a striker, but has also played as a left-back for the Foxes this season. "We'll be discussing this week what the next step is," boss Nigel Pearson said. "As soon as we find that out we will let you know. He has done well." German-born Schlupp has only started 12 games for the Foxes, having come through the club's youth set-up, but has made a further 23 substitute appearances and also had a loan spell with Brentford in 2011. Former Leicester manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who gave Schlupp his debut, told BBC Radio Leicester: "He's a very, very good football player with very good talent. I wanted to keep him. "If he is ready for Manchester United, I do not know. It is a big thing for him but would be a big loss for Leicester if it happens." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I actually bet Madrid to win in 90 minutes but I'd written it off. Nani is a diving poser but I'm sorry ref, you got that wrong and f***ed up a good game of football. Shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I have to agree - the ref was awful, he allowed RM to foul at will and no way was that a red card shameful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossfinn Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Correct decision by the ref, should have sent Ferdinand off at the end, what kind of attitude to be showing the young kids of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellred Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 It was a red card. You can go in work your foot raised that high. And you can't say he didn't know the player was there either as he should have looked! In any case if that had been against UTD in the league we all know I would have been given. Karma? 5555 As usual childish behaviour from the players at the end especially Ferdinand. Hope he gets some sort of punishment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 A few observations on the game as I saw it . Was Arbeloa himself lucky to stay on when he was booked in the first half? On first sight I think he was lucky. I have'nt seen it a 2nd time. Hopefully it will be on the ITV highlights programme. IMO the red card was harsh. Arbeloa rolled over twice needlessly but there was no mass appeal by the RM players. I think they were as surprised as MU at the sending off. Should RM had a penalty when Rafael cleared off the line?. Higuan's header was going in when it hit his hand and stayed out. After the 2 RM goals they went to sleep and MU came very close to scoring a few times. If they had equalised with a few minutes to go they could well have score another such was the pressure they were excerting even with 10 men. Feel free to disagree with me.

redrus Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yeah, tough one. I think the ref spoiled the game with a very harsh red, it seems only Leeds fans think if was a red. Yellow at most. Anyway, that was not Real's fault, they went on and did a job, we had our chances after that too and, on another night possibly but, it was not to be. Well done Madrid, I will be following your fortunes now, good luck Ronnie lad, your respect did not go unnoticed..!! redrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Career limiting decision for that ref if Mourinho had voiced the opinion he must surely have had about 'the decision'. As it is we are just getting the 'please employ me' appeals this morning. I don't agree with the ABU voices saying defo red card, but do agree that Ferdinand is a lucky boy not to have got a red at the end. Frustration does not justify haranguing a ref like that.

nev Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Careless, reckless, using excessive force“Careless” means that the player has shown a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or that he acted without precaution.• No further disciplinary sanction is needed if a foul is judged to be careless “Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, his opponent. • A player who plays in a reckless manner must be cautioned“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent. • A player who uses excessive force must be sent off So which one was it the ref decided?: excessive force my ass, reckless maybe so a yellow at most. Anyway we lost we have the league to concentrate on and the Fa cup,cannot mull over this it was plain to see it was a bad decision and even after they went 2-1 up we still had our chances, stayed 11 v 11 we woiuld have won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post carmine Posted March 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2013 Debate that all you want, it wasn't a red. Absolute shocker. Up until then i thought that Ferguson had got it right. The ever improving Raphael doing a great jod containing Ronaldo with the superb Giggs. Fergusons decision to drop Rooney wasn't looking a poor one either. Then that stupid piece of refereeing turned the whole game. You have my sympathies. That was wrong. Now hopefully Arsenal will get totally and utterly drubbed by Bayern and nice to see my pick Dortmund still travelling under the radar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazwjb1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Referee changed the game,this article shows his record, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2288321/Manchester-United-v-Real-Madrid-referee-sent-John-Terry-Mario-Balotelli-Steven-Gerrard-Gary-Cahill-Graham-Poll.html. Portugal objected to him refereeing a game against Spain because of his ties with Spain. Another article about twitter accounts: http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/referee-cuneyt-cakir-has-a-twitter-account-follows-real-madrid-cristiano-ronaldo/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Chelsea and Arsenal have suffered the hands of UEFA referees and now its United. Champions league will always suffer because of poor or corrupt refs. The truth may never come out (as in Marseilles under Belosconi) but it is not hard to see.

Agree with everything here Carmine except: Yes Fergie had the tactics just about right. I thought though that RM were already starting to get the measure of the game in the second half before the red card. I'm not so sure that the result would have been any different with 22 men on the field. RvP was a bit of a disappointment I thought (not sour grapes - I never blamed him for moving on) The Arsenal comment! I hope Spurs win the UEFA Cup by the way, so I guess that makes us different types of football fan (yeah I know your response already – a ‘real’ one and a ‘prawn sarnie’ one). It’s a pity there’ll be no EPL team in the quarters since I don’t know when without looking. Scuddamore must be squirming a bit to see the EPLs much vaunted dominance so clearly exposed. It has been a poor season for EPL football, giving the lie to the Sky commentators oh-so-choreographed and carefully inserted plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 i'm not going to get into a big debate about it because i'm just glad united got beat, but i can see why the ref gave it. dangerous play, serious foul play, straight red card. nani's karate-kicked the opponent in the chest. big majority of continental referees would send anyone off for that, doesn't matter who or in what match. this "ruined the game" nonsense is just silly.

We won't get into a debate so i'll leave it with the one post!! That was never ever a sending off. He should be hauled over the coal for that. Whether it ruined the game is probably relative to whom you want to when. However it changed the game at a time when Utd were the better team and created a situation Madrid needed to get themselves back in it. At that stage Utd were in control. Nani is an absolute tool anyway but It was also crap piss poor refereeing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
