Incredibly silly from him. Especially considering he's never usually a particularly aggressive player.
Don't need/ want players like that.
I wonder what he'll say about this on his weekly blog. You don't expect comedy gold like this from a player like Mata, who's usually quite intelligent and laid back player.
Moron. Absolute moron.
But but he's world class.
Both were just silly yellow cards for him to get. What was he thinking.
Pretty stupid cards that will likely cost us one of the most crucial games of the season. Disappointing after being captain last week
Idiotic and he knew it. You could tell he was even trying to pull out of that. Just stupid.
Second was just mistimed, albeit a real swipe rather than a tackle. First was daft. No obvious danger from the free kick. Ffs, gonna be a long afternoon.
That's his first red card.
I'm not arguing he is world class by any means but how exactly does a red card affect that?
I suppose you could say a more common sense, less c*nty ref would just have a word there. I'd say at least half the refs in the prem wouldn't send Mata off for that.
The most stupid post I have ever read.
Shit happens.
Mata haters are loving this. Some posters care about about some of their drivel happening than a good Manchester United result it seems.
What a perfect name for this post.
Did you need or want him when he won the game on Wednesday?
Or when he picked his username...
Sad thing is he was our best player before that stupidity.
What a Coq.
Pathetic.
It's so great we got rid of Smalling then.
Exaclty. FFS some need to get a grip.
Guy just won us 3 points the other day. He made a stupid mistake and was slightly unlucky to get a second yellow. It was a late challenge but you would think the benefit would be given to him. Referees always seem to want the limelight.
He's been a passenger in quite a few matches this season then 4 days before a big game vs Liverpool he got himself sent off
Inexcusable really.
he was playing well too.
pity.
pity.
Yep. Ref saw a very very rare chance to make a name for himself sending Mata off.
For fecks sake, the guy probably makes about 10 fouls a whole season, so 2 in one game is gold dust to a ref.
You just have to laugh. Moronic but I guess it happens from time to time.
I do think hes also unlucky. You will see players commit 8 fouls before a booking. His first was just daft given the timing of it. The second was mistimed, rather than malicious. Surely the ref should have a word with him rather than just, bang, second yellow.
Like the Smalling sending off vs. City last season. First yellow for blocking free kick going nowhere. Stupid
Basically this. Idiotic, but it happens to everyone now and then. Mata is literally the last person in the world you would expect to get a yellow let alone 2 yellows like he did. Shit happens. That's about it. Sucks for today and hopefully it doesn't cost us, but people are going way overboard.
Bet you were always defending Keane and Cantona though, when they did truly stupid sending offs.
Well...if you supported United back then..
A stupid first yellow, but at the time I was thinking thank god it's Mata. There's little chance of him committing a foul for a second booking. 1 minute later and I was feeling a little foolish.
Worst thing is that he was the only one playing relatively well before he was sent off. Idiot.
I'm not even mad, that was just so uncharacteristic of him. It's fascinating in a way.
Yeah. It ruins the game. The ref should be ensuring that the game remains 11v11.
A word would have sufficed.
Big difference between getting sent of vs a rival and sent off in a must win game vs West Brom. Don't beat west Brom no chance of getting top 4
That was in no world a red. You dont give a player second yellow for such a light foul!
It was stupid, but red is no way justified.
Its like every tackle where ball is not cleanly won a yellow card now

WTF has Mata done to deserve being mentioned with those two legends?
