Unsurprising really.
No-one barring Liverpool & some of their former players think they handled this in the right manner.
Edit: and nice tagline.
A good read. Nice to see our direct rivals on our side. I know it's not a competition about who's right, and something to take sides with (are you listening Uruguay?) but it's nice to know that our rival's manager completely agrees with our point of view. It shouldn't be like that at all should it? It should be 100% unanimous. Sad really.
I'm coming round to Mancini.
You're coming round to Mancini? The same Mancini acting the cnut on Sky Sports News earlier at his press conference, blatantly lying by saying he saw Rooney wave an imaginary card to get Kompany sent off, when Rooney had in fact held two fingers up to indicate a two-footed tackle, this less than a week after this very same Mancini waved an imaginary card at the ref to have Skrtel sent off.
He's a fecking wanker, and a moany bollocks.
Did he actually say that though, or did he say he tried to get him sent off?
I'm not saying I like him, but for City's manager, he's not that bad.

Mancini was asked whether Liverpool's manager, Kenny Dalglish, and players had made a mistake by wearing their now infamous T-shirts in support of Suárez, just after the Football Association's independent commission had announced its verdict. He was nodding in agreement as he replied "maybe" and he then voiced his belief that Suárez should have issued an immediate apology.
"Sometimes a situation like this can happen on the pitch but it is important to apologise for what you did. Sometimes, on the pitch, you can do something you don't want to, because you are nervous, because you don't think. Everything can happen because you don't think, because you are tired, because you are stupid, you are young; for many reasons.
"I don't think Suárez is a racist. But I think he made a mistake, probably, yes. Everyone can make a mistake sometimes. It is impossible that we are always perfect and, after that, it is important to say: 'I am sorry, I made a mistake, I apologise for this' and accept the charge."
The City manager went on to draw a parallel with his own playing career in Italy, where football has had a long battle against racism. "I have heard everything said against me and I have said some things – but not important things like racist words."
He mimed what Rooney did by waving an imaginary card in the air, whilst saying he got him sent off. One of the reporters mentioned that apparently Rooney was indicating a two footed tackle. Mancini gave it the whole arrogant "I don't give a feck, I'm right" shrug of the shoulders. He's a smarmy, smartarsed prick. City manager or not, he's a right bellend.
And I applaud Mancini and all the other club managers who have come out and gone on record to state their views ... frankly their is only one objective view available, and thats what Mancini has done.
He could have stayed quiet on the matter, he did not. My respect for him goes up accordingly.
C'mon, thats just inter club rivalry and heat of the moment managers talk. SAF does it all the time.
Some things are just MUCH bigger than football, even for those who depend on the footballing industry for their fame, self worth and livelihood. The SUAREZ racist jibes is one such matter.

To be honest I think it was just one of those Italian gestures as if to say 'oh come on ref'. It was very different to the Skrtel one.
This is pretty much where I stand on it, except that no other manager has actually gone on record to condemn Liverpool/Suarez.
What are you talking about Liam? He clearly indicated Rooney waved an imaginary card, he's been spouting off since it happened that Rooney got Kompany sent off. He told blatant lies, and when he was pulled up on lies he gave it the old who gives a feck. I don't get some United fans like for him, he's always been a smarmy knob as far as I can see.
He didn't. There were clear differences between what he did with Skrtel (running around the touchline making an obvious card waving gesture) and Rooney, where it was more of a pleading gesture of disbelief.
What were these lies? Am I missing something here?
And I wouldn't say that United fans like him on the whole, but when he gets compared with Dalglish, who is a truly despicable man, our other major rival's manager, he comes across quite well.
I wouldn't say I like him, but compared with everything else connected with City, he's above the average.
In his press conference, shown on Sky, he was moaning about Rooney waving an imaginary card, which Rooney in fact didn't do. When pointed out by a reporter that Rooney had in fact gestured a two footed tackle, he still moaned about Rooney getting Kompany sent off, for nothing. A liar and a moany shite. What arent you getting?
I don't think he is above the average, sorry, I just don't agree. You're entitled to your opinion on him. But you're opinion is wronghe's an arse.
Nah but seriously, I just dont like him at all, he always pisses me off when I see an interview or press conference. I think he's a tool.
Blah blah blah. He's a tool.
