FA might have let him off the hook with those remarks if it was a domestic match - but I think he'll now be charged by UEFA.

Narnia Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Are you saying it's not typical of the Germans then Matthew? SAF said they got him sent off by running to the ref whilst observers at the match noticed that he had put his card back in his pocket once he realised he would have to send the player off.As for it being xenophobic nonsense, he was saying what he thought about a particular type of behaviour. He could probably have included other nationalities too, but United were playing Germans.

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 The German team displayed comebackability and a resilience which dumped an English team out of the cup - this has happened many times before and is essentiallya compliment - there is nothing xenophobic about it. He didn't accuse the German's of invading Poland or even stealing the beach towels before anyone else - sheesh Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/144/#findComment-484434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy two times Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 There were actually only 5 Germans in the Bayern team and the manager is Dutch. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/144/#findComment-484436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager = French.Chelsea - 2 players (Terry & Lampard - can't count Cole as he's hardly played this year). Manager = Italian.Liverpool - 2 players (Gerrard & Carragher - don't think there are any more). Manager = Spanish.Man U - 2 last night (Ferdinand & Rooney - suppose you could add Neville & Scholes to that so 4). Manager = Scottish.So out of a possible 48 players and managers being from an English league, less than 20% of the staff are English. Probably not even bought with "English" money either!I expect my figures above are wrong and stand to be corrected.

jimmy two times Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 You also forgot Carrick for Man U. I'd also include players from the British Isles in general so you could add Fletcher, Gibson, Giggs. Man U do pretty well on this front but Arsenal's quota of British players is shocking.Anyway, my point about the low amount of German players in Bayern team was because Fergie called Bayern typical Germans.

Sandperson Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Fergie's comments are a bit silly. He likes to lash out when he's beaten and I can't see it being any more than that. I can't defend the comments if they were meant in amy sort of jingoistic way. We were knocked out by two soft and easily preventable goals and some petulism from a young, inexperienced player. The way we played on the whole gave me heart as it's some of the best play I've seen from united this season. I just hope Rooney is fit for some of the run in.

jimmy two times Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I wouldn't say Robben's goal was a soft goal Sandperson. It was absolutely brilliant and required excellent technique.

matthew123 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Narnia - its not me who is fishing..I've made my point and it is dismissed by yourself on nothing more than the belief that Ferguson is beyond reproach.

Jah Lush Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 That sums it up in a nutshell ratty and ????. Ferguson, Wenger and Benitez are the biggest moaners when it comes to refereeing decisions.
