Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[thatrapsfan]

Uefa has begun disciplinary proceedings against Manchester United following their Champions League defeat by Real Madrid on Tuesday.
European football's governing body is taking action over Nani's red card and the non-fulfilment of post-match media obligations at Old Trafford.
Nani was sent off by Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir in the 56th minute for a high challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa.
The English champions went on to lose the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
Nani's red card is subject automatically to a disciplinary review which will decide the length of ban that the Portuguese player will serve.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson reacted angrily to the sending off and did not appear for the post-match interviews, with assistant Mike Phelan taking his place. In addition, the Manchester United players did not stop to talk to the media in the mixed zone.
Uefa says its disciplinary panel will judge the case on 21 March, and a spokesman added: "There are no issues for us regarding the sending off."

BBC News - Manchester United fan calls 999 over Nani's red card

A football fan was so disgusted with the referee's decision to send off Nani in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Real Madrid he called 999.

The 18-year-old Manchester United supporter was watching at home in a village near Bingham, Nottinghamshire.

He felt the red card shown to the United winger was a crime so called police.

He later apologised for the call, saying he was caught up in the moment. Police will not take any action.
'Waste our time'

The fan, who has not been named, called police at about 21:20 GMT during United's second leg clash against the Spanish giants.

He was incensed by the referee's decision to show Nani the red card for a high challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa.

Ch Insp Ted Antill said: "While this recent example may be amusing, it illustrates the sort of insincere calls we have to deal with on a daily basis in the control room.

"They waste our time and they direct us away from genuine victims of crime, particularly if we dispatch officers out to something that turns out to be a bogus report."

He warned that prank 999 calls were a crime and said people had been prosecuted in the past.

"It's no joke. In this case, the man realised his bad judgement and apologised and we decided not to pursue it further," he added.

Nottinghamshire Police said it received 6,933 recorded hoax calls in 2012, which is about 2% of all reported incidents.

Had Tuesday's 999 caller followed Sir Alex Ferguson's example, he would have avoided a police telling off - the Manchester United manager was said afterwards to be "too distraught" to speak about the match.

The game turned after the dismissal of Portuguese winger Nani - whose real name is Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha - with Real Madrid scoring two quick goals to win the match 2-1, knocking United out of the competition 3-2 on aggregate.

what guarantees their "freedom" anyway? people think a man who changed the constitution to effectively make himself president for life and exhumed the bones of simon bolivar to conjure up liberating spirits didn't set up a contingency plan?
