Such a shame; i've never seen in twenty years a match of that kind.
Disgusted for life; I've seen it with my own eyes yesterday, i'm a Lille fan ok, but this is just a joke a disgrace! Beware Lille in Old trafford in two weeks, that will be a match not to be missed.
What about the way the Lille players reacted? Very sporting alright:rolleyes:.
What about the way United fans were treated? Lille should be severely fined.
You were at the stadium last night to see how United Fans were threated? or just read the "sun" (what a great paper! all the truth is in it:rolleyes: ) Lille players didn't walk of the pitch; they only went to tell the assistant about their complaint; thats the way we do it in our own league!
Wether you're a Mancheater fan, and u don't give a f*ck; which i can understand, but please if sligo was in champions league (maybe one day, who knows) and that happened to them, i'm definitly sure you would feel how i feel.
It's a great British institution! :cool:Quote:

Sour grapes of the highest order. I've never seen anything like it. If this is what Lille are used to doing then they are a disgrace.
Deliberately kicking the ball out of play to their bench from the kick -off. Their coach waving them off the pitch and inciting missiles to be thrown. God knows what might have happened if the poor linesman had dissallowed a goal wrongly for offside. Even non-United fans I spoke to agreed their goal was rightly disallowed. Shocking.
Then the referee could have been more specific, not just whispering in the ears of Giggs and Rooney.Quote:

Anyway, we'll create something on the return game.
BTW, Great game in croke park from us, against Ireland, the best Rugby side in Europe for the moment.
Inciting missiles to be thrown :rolleyes:Quote:

Having said that Lilles walk-off was pure stereotypical French - Passionate but ultimately cowardly
Lille should be fined for how the French police deal with United fans?? :rolleyes:Quote:

No whistle, no asking the players on the other team if they are ready, nothing. Play on. So why should it be any different when it's within shooting range. The only purpose of the referee is to make sure a wall of defenders(if there is one) is 10 yeards away. If the attacking team isn't bothered about the wall, then play away......
Where is the joke and disgrace from the game last night?
And if all you are interested in is throwing insults then away with you. But an argument with some foundation would be nice.
They all have there massive English clubsQuote:

Coincidently, that quote is also the utter tripe that the Lille coach who was calling the players off came out with this morning. Talk about making a fool of yourself!Quote:

That's the way its done now with free kicks. The law is very clear, Lille should have had one man standing in front of the ball until the free taker tells the ref he wants the wall back 10m. Henry has scored at least one like that for Arsenal, surely the great man is not a cheat :)Quote:

The Brits and fair play myth. Feck that shíte, some of us know better.
Wherever their fans go around Europe somehow police have uncontrollable urges to beat them up. The scum element just attract trouble. Probably the only time I enjoy watching police beating up anybody is then.
Lille to win it at Old Trafford? go ahead, make my day.
Maybe they'd been watching the US/Mexico match?Quote:

As someone else said, a free kick any place else on the field does not need the referee's whistle. I have seen this numerous times before. The ref asks do you want the wall back and wait for the whistle and Giggs said he is ready to go. The Lille players were not alive to the danger. they were asleep. Their fault and no one else to blame.
Or indeed a ManU fan ;) :pQuote:

Also "we only went to tell our lineman our complaint"?? That's intimidation and also unsporting. You should get fined for that also.
The sour grapes are coming from yourself by the sounds of it and no, I'm not a Man Utd supporter.
