It doesn't matter what he did, he's a true professional, and he always wants to win. We are his past, time has moved on!
I just wish people would praise Peter for the player that he is and give thanks for everything he did for us as a player. A true United legend.
Well said Roxyfella re: Keane. Of course if we played against Forrest now he should not have a single thought for them. And he should be as pleased as punch to give them a good stuffing.
I wasn't Peter's fault that we lost yesterday.

I'm in two minds over this one.
Firstly I respect all Pete did for us and was the greatest keeper this club has ever had, and did wonders for the team. A legend. He's now moved on and he's at City now because nobody else was prepared to take a chance with him, and he's now proving everyone he is the great keeper we all know he is. So why not show respect to the City fans and club? After all, Villa threw him away and nobody else came in for him, but City did, they should courage and Peter is thankful.
But at the same time he knows how much it hurts us all to see him playing in Blue after the odd decade he spent with us. We could never have thought he would join our biggest rivals when he 'quit English football'. We took him in from the Danish Leagues and made him in to a world famous keeper, and spent a good decade with the club and the fans. How he can just turn away and pretend to have been a blue all his life I just dont know.
He's also said City is the best club he's been with, and of course there's the Kasper incident.
I love Peter for all the things he did for us, and always will, but I cant let what he's done go.

Well I didn't see that as gloating. 
I reckon he'll celebrate City's every important goal and victory this season in that way. No more no less.
He realised that he had played his part in creating a very special day for the City fans.
And his unbeaten Manchester Derby match run continues.

Feck me I'm agreeing with Weastie. I've changed me mind....Scheichel is a traiterous twat.
There that's better.

Although i was gutted to see him celebrate so much, you have to look at it another way.
Cantona left Leeds to come and play for us despite the bitterness between the two clubs. How would you have felt if he hadnt celebrated when he scored against them?
Football is a game and Schmeichel isn`t local, a fan, nor were we the first club he ever played for. Just because he had a fantastic period with us doesn`t mean he loves us.
A player goes from club to club in his career and Man City are just another club. Also bear in mind that City aren`t exactly setting the premiership alight with their football and when they win it`s a major thing. I haven`t expressed myself very well but I hope you get the idea

Jim Leighton - he was that goalkeeper.
what was wrong with jim then? why did Weaste seem like he was trying to make a point?
I was using it as an example picked out the air-alright try Rio if he scores at Leeds. All I`m saying a player moves from club to club. If Schmeichel was a crap player for us would this thread have come up. If Rai Van Der Gouw does the same will we get the same thread?
Don`t get me wrong im as upset as anyone but we have to look at reasons.

Very useful utility player to have on the bench though. Very flexible.

I've just said that.
I dont rate him as a first choice player.

first time i think we agreed on something. don't count on this happening a lot though.
It strikes me that some people are looking for a scapegoat to vent their frustration over yesterday's result; well look to our current crop of players and their performances yesterday. Big Pete is a United legend, and a true professional. He's moved on, it happens to be on to our rivals, but deal with it. I'm sure somewhere in Pete's heart yesterday he was a little gutted for us United fans.
Well said Blythy. He's playing for a team that will spend most of the year fighting to stay out of the drop zone. Every point, every goal will count.
There's a big difference between gloating and rubbing it in and celebrating.
It's the intensity of the celebrations and the level of adrenalin involved (because it was City vs United) that make some people think that he was gloating and rubbing our noses in it. He wasn't IMO.
