Yellow peril! United face FA wrath after fans set off flares during Sunderland loss

Manchester United face punishment from the FA after their supporters lit flares during the 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat at Sunderland.

Flares were lit in the away end at the Stadium of Light, with some being thrown into a section of home fans.

The visitors won't have been cheering by the end of the match, however, which saw United succumb to a third loss in a week.


Flaring up: Manchester United fans chant as they set off 'pyros' at the Stadium of Light


No consolation: United's fans can't have been fired up by their sides' display in the 2-1 loss


Missile: One of the flares was thrown into the home end, with stewards left to dispose of it

Hot on the heels of a Premier League defeat by Spurs and being dumped out of the FA Cup by Swansea, Fabio Borini's penalty consigned David Moyes' men to another loss after Nemanja Vidic levelled Ryan Giggs' own goal.

Moyes vented his frustration at the penalty, which saw Adam Johnson fall under pressure from United midfielder Tom Cleverley.

Moyes said of referees: 'We're having to play them as well as the opposition at the moment. It's really terrible, it really is.

'We're actually beginning to laugh at them, that's the thing.'

Manchester United Face FA Investigation Over Flares Thrown at Sunderland

nchester United face potential punishment from the Football Association after fans lit flares during the club's Capital One Cup semifinal first-leg defeat to Sunderland.

An FA spokesman said Wednesday, per talkSPORT:

We are looking into David Moyes' comments to the media following the match at Sunderland.

We are also contacting both clubs to seek their observations in relation to the use of flares last night.

A picture of one of the flares allegedly set off by United fans was posted by the Instagram account of theawaydayfans:



While Fabio Borini's penalty illuminated the Stadium of Light and thrust the Black Cats to a 2-1 victory over their visitors, the travelling support appeared to call upon the use of flares to show their support, per David Kent of the Daily Mail Online:

"Flares were lit in the away end at the Stadium of Light, with some being thrown into a section of home fans," writes Kent.

As reported by Richard Wheatstone of the Manchester Evening News, at the beginning of December 2013, figures released by the UK Football Policing Unit indicate the Red Devils "top a Premier League table of incidents involving fans lighting flares during the current season."

The most recent incident is not the first time a Capital One Cup tie featuring United has involved flares this campaign. Liverpool fans were said to have launched similar abuse toward their Manchester counterparts during their trip to Old Trafford Sept. 25 of last year, per The Telegraph's Mark Ogden.

Although fans produced plenty of spark away from the Stadium of Light pitch, United's third loss in a week has many questioning the credentials of David Moyes, and indeed, his players.

The probing qualities of Adnan Januzaj, who played exciting football from a central position, and the hard work of Danny Welbeck, were perhaps the only outfield performances exempt from criticism during United's visit of Wearside.

Both sides enjoyed spells of domination throughout the match, but Gus Poyet's side snatched an advantage through Ryan Giggs' own goal and Borini's penalty, which was awarded after Tom Cleverley fouled Adam Johnson on the cusp of his own area.

As tweeted by ESPN, Moyes complained about the referee Andre Marriner's performance after the match:

The manager's tough start to the season doesn't seem to be getting easier. Moyes is unlikely to gain many fans by continually complaining about officials—he also criticised Howard Webb after United's loss to Spurs, per Adam Crafton of the Daily Mail Online—even when his team appear to be unfortunate.



United's more pressing concern is the form of a squad that looks terribly underpowered at this stage of the season. With Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie among those sidelined through injury, Moyes has limited quality to call upon during this busy time.

He may be tempted to strengthen his squad throughout the January transfer window and could see his frustration disappear if some of his reported £200 million budget is spent on world-class players, per Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail Online.

United's next match comes Jan. 11 in the must-win Premier League tie against Swansea.

Having already lost at home to Michael Laudrup's team in 2014, Moyes and his men need to capture three points if they are to continue battling for a place in next season's Champions League.

David Moyes Accepts Charge of Misconduct for Capital One Cup Rant



BBC Sport is reporting that David Moyes has accepted the charge of misconduct from the FA after his comments on officials:

@BBCSport
Manchester United manager David Moyes accepts an FA charge of misconduct over comments he made about referees

Ian Ladyman of the Daily Mail is reporting that Moyes will likely be fined as a punishment.

To call David Moyes' first season at Old Trafford a trying one would be a severe understatement. Pressure has been mounting against the Manchester United boss, and he now finds himself in hot water with the Football Association.

Following the Red Devils' disappointing Capital One Cup loss Jan. 7 to Sunderland, Moyes criticized the match officiating. According to the FA's official website, he has been charged with misconduct for his comments.

It is alleged the comments called into question the integrity of the match officials appointed to that fixture and/or appointed to Manchester United fixtures generally, and/or implied that such match officials are motivated by bias; and/or brought the game into disrepute, in contravention of Rule E3(1).

Moyes was particularly upset about a penalty that his team conceded in the 64th minute of that match. The score was tied 1-1 at the time, but Sunderland's Fabio Borini converted, and United was never able to recover.

Per Rob Parrish of Sky Sports, Moyes questioned the officials' decision-making and motivation in a post-match press conference.

We had a player booked for the same challenge the other day, for doing the same thing. It's up to the referees, they're making their minds up. It looks as if we're having to play them as well as the opposition at the moment. It's really terrible, it really is, we're actually beginning to laugh at them.

Moyes comments likely stemmed from frustration regarding his squad's recent struggles. Manchester United appeared to be back on track after a good run in December, but they are currently in the midst of a three-match losing streak with one-goal defeats to Tottenham, Swansea City and Sunderland in succession.

The club's confidence has been called into question, but Moyes is unwilling to blame their struggles on that, especially after winning six straight in December, according to Manchester United's official Twitter account.

Manchester United ✔
@ManUtd
More from David Moyes: "Not winning can obviously affect your confidence. But we weren't talking about confidence when we won six in a row."

Moyes isn't the first EPL manager to criticize match officials this season, and he is unlikely to be the last. The FA has rightly punished offending managers; however, it may be time to look into the inconsistent officiating that has plagued Premier League contests.

With that said, Moyes' gripes appeared flimsy at best. With Manchester United clinging to seventh place in the EPL, the former Everton manager is grasping at straws in an effort to turn the season around.

If nothing else, perhaps the passion he showed will inspire his players to raise their game to another level moving forward.

Cisse and Evans charged by FA

Manchester United player Jonny Evans looks on as Papiss Cisse of Newcastle appears to spit


Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse and Manchester United defender Jonny Evans have been charged by the Football Association following the 'spitting' incident in Wednesday's game.

Television pictures appeared to show Evans spitting at Cisse as the Senegal international rose from the turf after the pair tussled for the ball with the game goalless.

Cisse stretched out to grab his rival in response and seemed to spit back in Evans' direction.

Cisse has since issued an apology for his part in proceedings, although Evans has denied spitting at his opponent and the FA has acted swiftly in charging the pair.

“The charges relate to an alleged breach of FA Rule E1[a] in that in or around the 38th minute of the game the two players spat at each other,” read a statement on the FA’s official website.

“The incidents were not seen by the match officials but caught on video. Both players have until 6pm on Friday 6 March 2015 to respond to the charge.

“In Premier League matches, if an incident has not been seen by the match officials, a three-man panel of former elite referees will be asked by The FA to review the footage independently of each other.

“They will then advise what, if any action, they believe the match referee should have taken had it been witnessed at the time.

“For an FA charge to follow, all three panel members must agree it is a sending-off offence.*

“In this instance, the decision by the panel was unanimous in respect of both players.”

Northern Ireland international Evans has denied spitting at Cisse, while his manager Louis van Gaal has come to his defence.

"I was totally unaware of any spitting incident and had assumed that the issue at the time was with the challenge and his attempted retaliation to the tackle from the floor,” said Evans.

"During the game, Papiss Cisse and I spoke about the incident and it is clear by my reaction in the television footage that I was totally surprised by any suggestion of spitting.

"It is not in my character or in my nature to spit at anybody, nor is it something I have ever done or would ever do. It is certainly not something that I did last night."

For his part, Cisse admitted he spat at Evans and apologised for his actions in a statement issued shortly after Evans’.

"I reacted to something I found very unpleasant. Sometimes it is hard not to react, particularly in the heat of the moment,” said Cisse.

“I have always tried hard to be a positive role model, especially for our young fans, and yesterday I let you down.

"I hope children out there playing football for their clubs and schools this weekend will know better than to retaliate when they are angry.

“Perhaps when they see the problem it now causes me and my team, they will be able to learn from my mistake, not copy it."

Udah resiko Om Penk.
Kalo udh tertangkap bersalah gitu,,ya harus diterima hukumannya.
6 pertandingan wajar untuk orang yang meludah begitu.
Ngapain pula Evans ngeludah begitu dan ngapain pula Evans ga mengakui kalo Evans ngeludahin cisse. Wong jelas-jelas udah ketangkep kamera kok.
Lupakan Evans...andalkan bek yang ada aja, yang mainnya ga perlu meludah ke pemain lawan.

[eyeofday]

mungkin menurut Evans yg ketangkap kamera itu ludahnya Cisse yang jatuh kembali karena gravitasi bumi :-D

kalo dirunut dari awal sih menurut saya Cisse yang nendang duluan bikin Evans emosi, cuma disengaja apa ga itu ga tau. Bisa aja cuma gerak refleks.
entahlah, yang penting McNair Blackett dapat kesempatan lagi

[rondwisan]

Cisse kena banned 7 match ya, dan doi mengakui n menerima hukuman FA
Tinggal Evans nih, ancaman 6 match, sementara ini di media gk mengakui kalo ngludahin Cisse ..
