Nani ....embarassing silence

Watched the Utd game today in the pub and the Nani incident when he took a ridiculously easy shoulder and acted like he needed help was greeted with silence from all the Utd barstoolers. Previous to this they were shouting abuse aat the tv , at Gerrard, at Torres , at the ref , etc etc but the place just went into silence.
The kind of , sweep it under the carpet shame, I really wish he didnt do that silence.

I proposed the question to one : If Giggs went over right now and hit him an almighty boot in the hole would you applaud ? His response was 'hed probably be a legend all over the world.

Would you like to see it happen. One of your players walking up to a fellow team member that dived and giving him a kick up the arse.
I would

Ye id say a top manager would love to see a player strike a team mate

United fans are hardly going to start shouting abuse at him now in fairness Athlonecelt. Same way Liverpool fans wouldn't shout abuse at Gerrard or Torres or better still, Irish fans when Keane does it now and then.

FIFA don't care about football, I think thats obvious, and as for FIFA Fair Play, dont make me

Yes thats really likely to happen a scripted football game


DAMIEN DUFF HAS DIVED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR IRELAND AND FOR HIS CLUBS- SO HAS ROBBIE KEANE

Nani was an absolute disgrace today..just when u think the lad has turned a corner and become a good player..he goes out and plays like that..diving all over the shop

True players dive but I think Its worse when they stay down for so long as if everybody watching are completely retarded and believe what they are in pain. If you hit Drogba in a night club , does he really fall that easy ? and stay on the ground ? Nani took a shoulder today. A f**king shoulder. And stayed down for minutes. Nobody, absolutely nobody in the ground even considering he was hurt. I knew it was bull sh*t, his team mates knew it was bullsh*t, Liverpool players knew it was bullsh*t, Fergie knew it was bullsh*t, the td fans knew it was bullsh*t. How on earth could it hurt ?????????? As a football fan , how embarassing to say thats the game we love, Imagine the Kilkenny/ Tipp hurlers watching that sh*te. Then up he gets and runs off. NOT A WORD FROM FERGIE. Not that youd expect it, but he has a go at everyone else.   How refreshing it wud be if he was just left there to get up and trot off.
