Then he said he didn't want it, so I ended up going just so as not to waste the ticket. Then on the Sunday the club phoned me up and asked who was the person who had started the O'Neill resigning thread, which I think had come from twitter, IIRC. I think the conversation went something along the lines of "it's all over the papers" - "well don't blame for VT that - if it's not true phone the papers up, not me". Bizarre weekend. Hold on. Who from the club rang you? What did they want you to do? Why did they ring you? Who are you? Was the implication that it was libel and should be closed? Have you gotten many of these calls?

theboyangel Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I’m still annoyed with the league cup final against ManUre when Vidic should’ve been sent off in the opening 15mins. not even a yellow given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rang me because I'm a VT moderator and (I'm guessing) he got my number from Nicky Keye, who knew/knows me. The club have called me a few times (mainly Nicky, before she left, obviously) mostly to help VT members who'd posted various problems or issues - she was really good at that and a genuinely nice person, but sometimes for other stuff.

God, remember the General or Colonel or whatever his name was? Him posting here seemed like a great idea at the time but “ask Nicky Keye” as a response to everything got old very quickly.

We started like a house on fire but then the ref got involved and literally changed the game massively in Utd's favour with a series of disgraceful & clearly biased decisions. I was watching with a manc friend & even he was shocked with the decisions. It was like every time a Villa player tackled a Utd player he would give them a free kick & book our player yet for the exact same type of tackle (or in fact even worse) by a Utd Player on a Villa player usually no free kick even and no card! It ended up with virtually our entire defence on yellows and too fearful to tackle which is when they took over & scored the winner. A complete disgrace of a performance by a clearly dodgy official. We were totally robbed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
