I went to Sunday's game United v Liverpool and as such sent the following letter to the Liverpool Echo. Unfortunatly it doesn't look like it will be in the fan news section
. Anyway, here goes.
==========================================================
After being a United fan for over 40 years I can safely say ive seen the good times and the bad times. From Denis Laws back heel that helped see us down to the second division, and the highs of doing the treble in 1999.
Watching the United & Liverpool game yesterday was certainly a match to remember if your a United fan. However, I couldn't help but be disappointed about the way Sir Alex conducted himself in the after match talks if what was said in the tabloids is true.
According to papers Sir Alex accused Torres of diving when O'Shea got in a clumsy tackle with him just outside the box. I do think Torres took advantage of the situation but don't we all at times in such a heated derby...
However, before accusing Torres of Diving he should take a look in his own backyard first. Watching the first half Nani was no different in a tackle with Konchesky running down the right wing. It was just a case of handbags at dawn. The way Nani went down was nothing short of scandalous in my opinion. He took a dive, simple as. Was anything said? Nothing.
Moving on late in the second half Nani was at it again. Only this time he should of been sent off. He got involved in another tackle with Agger inside the box. Did anyone see the swallow that flew over Nani's head before he went down? The poor bird lost a feather that landed on Nani's head which forced him to go down as if a ton of bricks had just landed on him.
To accuse Agger of bringing him down was a absolute disgrace. Once again Nani took another dive, it was all to embarrassing even if your a stone wall supporter of Manchester United you can't defend the indefensible.
So come on Sir Alex, if your going to play the game be fair. Nani as good as he is was bang out of order for deliberate diving on two occasions.
