Milan were docked 44 points from their 2005/06 tally for their part in the Italian match-fixing scandal, meaning they will miss out on European football's premier club competition when the new campaign resumes. They will also start the 2006/07 season in Serie A with a 15-point deficit. Despite the loss of income generated by the Champions League, Milan insist they do not need to balance the books by selling their more valuable players. 'No-one will leave,' said a statement on the club's official website. Milan did sell Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea earlier this summer as the Ukrainian was eager to join the Premiership champions. However, the club has reiterated he is an exception to the rule. 'After Shevchenko there will be no others,' continued the statement. 'Milan wants to make it clear, to everyone and with the utmost respect and seriousness, that contracts will be respected.' </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 36 hours after reportedly informing Steve McClaren that he intended to keep his temper, England's enfant terrible self- destructed again and was sent off last night in Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Porto in the Amsterdam tournament. Apologists for the Manchester United forward - and they include Sir Alex Ferguson - may claim his foul on Pepe was unintentional but, if so, Rooney is becoming ridiculously accident-prone. Ruud Bossen, the referee, certainly saw things differently and showed him a straight red card after he pushed the Porto defender in the face during an aerial challenge midway through the first half. Granted, many officials might have afforded Rooney the benefit of the doubt and Pepe, who had collapsed in a heap clutching his face, leapt up unscathed once the card was flourished, but the case for the defence was somewhat undermined because Rooney - who had earlier shown an amalgam of discipline and delicacy to score United's second goal - did not seem to be looking at the ball at the time of the offence. Moreover it is difficult to criticise the referee when Rooney's hand clearly connected with Pepe's face. Co Adriaanse, Porto's manager, said wryly, "The referee was very close to the incident," but Ferguson demurred. "Rooney's sending-off was unfair; Wayne was surprised," insisted United's manager. "The player involved made an issue of it which is something which is becoming endemic in football." Asked if Rooney's reputation was now preceding him, he acknowledged: "It's becoming a real concern." Michael Carrick duly found his United debut eclipsed and Ferguson's mood was hardly improved when Paul Scholes also saw a straight red in the second half for a horribly late tackle from behind on Ricardo Quaresma. Like Rooney, Scholes will face a three-game domestic ban if the Dutch FA passes the referee's report on to its English counterpart and Ferguson admitted: "Suspensions are a real worry." When McClaren met Rooney at United's training ground on Thursday morning England's new head coach emphasised that such indiscretions must be consigned to the past. Ironically, Rooney had begun with his self-destructive urges apparently well suppressed, instead using controlled aggression to dispossess a startled Jose Bosingwa before the most subtle of touches enabled him to dink the ball over Helton, the Porto keeper. Before then Carrick had at least enjoyed a brief moment in the sun to set up the opener. His decision to pass a corner to the feet of the onrushing Scholes left Helton thoroughly bemused as he was beaten by the latter's shot. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deservedly scored a third for Ferguson's nine-man ensemble, squeezing a beautifully weighted shot home from the tightest of angles. Pepe subsequently registered an even better, longer range, strike, his rising shot arcing into the top corner, but it appeared a mere footnote to the latest turmoil in Wayne's world. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I just e-mailed this to the guardian in reply <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">The heading of the report says 'Louise Taylor in Amsterdam'. Perhaps next time she's going to be doing a match report, she could go the extra mile and actually enter the stadium so she can see the game, rather than simply making it to the right city? Could someone from the sports desk please show her this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVcnBY0j8xs And ask her again at which point Rooney wasn't looking at the ball, as she claims? Anyone with half an eye could see it was an accident, and sensationalist comments like 'England's enfant terrible self- destructed again' are more suited to the red tops than supposedly more thoughtful papers such as yourselves (apart from the 'enfant terrible' bit obviously, we wouldn't want to confuse the poor sun readers). As for 'Moreover it is difficult to criticise the referee when Rooney's hand clearly connected with Pepe's face.', that just defies belief. FIFA were very careful to clear up any confusion on this point before the world cup, where their guidelines implicitly stated that reckless use of the arm (which would be the most you could argue in this case, and would be harsh) would result in a yellow card, while a red card would be shown for an arm thrown with intent. So trying to cite simply contact as the justification for a red card is nonsense. Mark Gillespie Manchester. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Nice one.

Ronaldo admits the mentality in England is different to the one he was used to on the continent with Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese wide man claims the leniency of English referees concerning robust challenges - a point also stressed by team-mate Wayne Rooney - has encouraged simulation. But, despite claiming to have been on the receiving end of some rough treatment in the Premiership, Ronaldo is determined not to let it affect his game. "I remember in the first year at United, I was criticised a lot for going to the floor too easily. That was an area of my game where I had to change quite fast," Ronaldo told the Daily Express. "It was perhaps the biggest lesson I've learned in England. It's a different type of game in Portugal, but the rules should be the same everywhere. "If it's a free-kick, the referee should give a free-kick. But here, referees choose to ignore fouls a lot of the time. "The football is different here, with a different mentality and it's not just the players who have grown up with it, but the referees too. "But I'm not going to stop trying to beat defenders in England. I don't think I should change. I have to be myself. "Just because the referee doesn't give a free-kick or chooses not to send off someone who deserves it, doesn't mean I should become another player." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
