Banana-gate | Bananchester United

I think the way it all panned out was mildly amusing. The last half an hour was comical as hell on the sidelines. Rashford was coming on with 30 minutes to play, then Young was getting ready, then someone realised that two subs had already been made so both couldn't come on, then Rashford went to sit down, then Jose wanted Rashford on rather than Young so they switched places, then Mata scored, then there was all sorts of panic on the bench and Jose told both to wait, then Jose went to talk to a fan for some reason (or was it a doctor?), then bananas were thrown on the pitch, then it seemed like Jones who had been on for 10 minutes and barely moved a muscle needed an inhaler, then Jose started peeling a banana, then he gave the banana to Young who was stood there in the full kit, then Young handed the banana over to Rojo who swallowed it in a jiffy, then Jose started peeling another banana which looked like it was meant for Mata but no one knows if he actually received the banana, then Jose realised added time was approaching and he was yet to make his third sub, then Rashford was told to get ready, then he was told to hold on because there were still 3 minutes left of added time, then with 1.5 minutes left there was a perfect opportunity to bring on the sub but Jose didn't realise how many minutes were left, then he asked the 4th official how many minutes were left but by the time the official answered the ball was back in play again, then Jose told the official to make the sub at the next possible opportunity, then Fellaini gave away a daft foul at the edge of the box, then Jose was in the official's face telling him to delay the sub in case of extra time, then Romero made a heroic save, then the ref blew the final whistle and it went completely unnoticed that Jose failed to make the sub he was trying to make for well over 30 minutes.

You can't come here and tell me this is usual procedure in tennis. No fecking way.

Annnnndd theeeennn?
 
I gotta admit, that was amusing. It was a rather dire match all in all. I'm now curious; do they bring bananas to the stadium? Keeping in mind that bananas just don't last very long...
 
Fcuk I wish the world had already stopped adding 'Gate' onto everything. We all know it's fecking wrong.
 
Is there another set of fans who take the piss out their own side like we do :lol:.. I find it hard to imagine sets of other fans having the sense of humour to do it

Someone please make a video version of this story. I am begging you.
 
Good move by Mourinho. Rostov were beginning to get back into the game so we needed to bring banana on to try and control potassium.

:lol:

Special mention to Jones who looked as uncomfortable on the left back position as anyone but managed to skin a defender brilliantly, followed by an incredibly heavy touch that led to the ball running out of play. Looked fantastic.

It was a banana skin moment
 
When that potassium craving kicks in!

Tho Rashford will be upset with the fact that banana got to get in before him!

Who's that Argie in the red?
Who's that man we all adore?
He plays with Smalling, Jones and co
He's that superstar Rojo
And he won't let nobody ever score

Stolen from here. But a good one

Great post
 
Was their a betting line on whether Rojo would eat a banana on the pitch like Wayne Shaw and his pie? The FA is probably diligently looking into it.
 
Rojo's banana
Rojo's banana
Have you ever seen it?
Rojo's banana
Youngie held it,
Held it in his hand
Jose gave it, like Giggsy to yer mam
Rojo's banana
Rojo's banana
Have you ever seen it?
Rojo's banana

Not very hygienic either passing round a peeled banana.. Couldn't Rojo come over and peel his own once Jones was finished doing his Bradley Wiggins impression?

I did wonder why Jose was peeling the banana, then passing it to Young, then onto Rojo. Extremely unhygenic and bear in mind that each of these people must've touched the ground or the football...which had been rolling in the grass, which was wet and had plenty of saliva and phlegm.

It's the equivalent of taking a banana.
Peeling it.
Then rolling it on a patch of grass, which has previously been walked on and spat on, by 12 people.
Then saying, "anybody want to eat this?"

And we wonder why some of our players are afflicted by illnesses. :lol:

When you said Wayne Shaw, I though that this was a joke about W.Rooney and L.Shaw eating all the pies...but there is actually a player called Wayne Shaw, who plays for Sutton and he did eat a pie while on the pitch.
You couldn't make this up if you tried. :lol:

Keane says it was staged.

It probably was.

I think Jose was just trying to make a point a point that United are playing too many fixtures close together and the players are getting tired. Like he's been doing in all his recent interviews.

Did you not see Jose speaking to the fan?

If by fan, you mean someone got paid by the club to analyzing opponent... IIRC Mourinho destroyed a fan against the Ukraine team at OT in EL group stage telling him/tem stop playing with his laptop (Edit: mistook it's not a laptop) & focus on the match/ scout the opponent better...

(Around 0:12)


Same fan (Around 1:50)

I believe the contents of the inhaler work as an anti-inflammatory on your lungs because they are tightening up. I don't think it offers some kind of advantage otherwise.

My non-asthmatic friend took my inhaler and found his peak lung capacity increased a fair bit (for about 20-40 mins).
