Manchester United v Bolton Wanderers: The fans’ view

Sunday September 28th, 2008

The Bolton Wanderers match report you won’t see in the papers or on Match of the Day…

Here’s what the various Bolton Wanderers message boards and discussion forums made of the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford…

- Cristiano Ronaldo is a cheat for diving and so is Rob Styles for giving the penalty! No-one even appealed for it! Styles should never be allowed to referee a football match ever again.

- Alex Ferguson is out of order for saying that the penalty decision was OK because Styles owes United a few decisions. High-profile whinging from managers of the top four clubs is costing us dearly when it comes to refereeing decisions.

- If it wasn’t for the cheating that led to the penalty, we might have got something out of the game because we played quite well. You certainly couldn’t fault the work rate of the Bolton players and Gary Megson is starting to get the team playing well.

- We didn’t lose because we played badly, we lost because the referee was a complete idiot.

- On the other hand, a return of four points from six games so far this season is awful, but it’s all we deserve for our negative style of play. Megson now has just two to four games to save his Bolton career.

- Gavin McCann should not be in the starting line-up, especially when Mustapha Riga is left on the bench yet again.

- It’s difficult to see where points are coming from for Bolton in the next few games. And after Hull’s victory at Arsenal, there is no doubt that it is now time for Bolton Wanderers to bring Phil Brown home. He can be the next Big Sam!
