They did feature it, and the conclusion was he didn't try and head butt him........like Fellaini didn't spit.

Surprised they showed it,not surprised they reached that conclusion,I would wager the conclusion would be different if it was united delayer placing their forehead on the ref.

Yeah, looking at all the Vines , it really is nothing , just the papers trying to sensationalize something out of nothing.

Yes, I'm led to believe that Rafael had pubes by the time he was 4.

On his head.

What about you? Did you go blind when your balls dropped?

I don't know, do you think you'll go blind when your balls drop?

FWIW, I reckon that Hart went to talk into the referee's ear and Oliver suddenly turned his head around, making it look like something it wasn't.

By why does Hart need to run out of his goal, chasing down the ref when all he did was block Hart kicking the ball. Not exactly something to get angry about, and why does he need to get right into Michael Oliver's face?

Its embarrassing how footballers react these days. We certainly need FIFA, UEFA and the FA to stamp down on this. In other sports players wouldn't dream of reacting in such a fashion. The consequences are too high and players have a respect for officials.

[E65Ross]

That Fellaini is a right nasty piece of work though isn't it. Elbows people, spits etc. I wish this stuff would get kicked out of football; why not do retrospective analysis with video? It'd soon stop it happening.

Absolutely. Hart bellowing in the ref's ear/face, Rooney asking for a yellow for whoever, Chelsea surrounding the ref at every opportunity, most players shouting obscenities at the officials whenever it doesn't go their way. If the refs just flash yellows for every occurrence and players end up being sent off for two yellows it'll soon slow down.
Refs aren't protected by FIFA, UEFA and the FA though.

I think you are miles out on this.If someone did that to me they'd get a punch in the face,it was intimidation a clear violation of the refs personal space and very aggressive,and towards a ref completely unacceptable.

I do like a good stat or two.

- Van Gaal has four less points and two less wins than Moyes at this stage, having spent £122million more at this stage of the season

- United have their lowest points tally after 10 games since 1986 (when Sir Alex Ferguson was brought in)

Anyone else think LvG is getting a spectacularly easy ride from the press?

Yes, though he hasn't been blessed on the injury front. The difference is they are beginning to play better football, unlike with Moyes.

If Moyes had been able to bring in 65 million quid Maria bloke then I'd have expected an improvement in the football to though....

Moyes always was a bit defensive in play though, a bit conservative. Everton really should have won at least one cup during his time there, we beat some great teams in some cup runs, and went out against a lot of dross too. A team like Everton only can win cups these days, yet it's been 20 odd years now.

Totes amazeballs. If you were in this position you would take Moyes over Van Gaal would you?

Just missing the one game, not serious according to his twitter account.
