"Dived"?[edit]

To the user who claims that "fell to the ground" implies contact between Rooney and Campbell, what makes you think that "dived" is any more appropriate? "Fell to the ground", in fact, only implies that Rooney fell to the ground. An example of wording that would suggest contact would be, "Campbell tripped Rooney" or "Campbell brought Rooney down", but "fell to the ground" is completely neutral. – Pee Jay 17:25, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

because wayne rooney dived to win the penalty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Currymeister (talk • contribs) 19:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cause[edit]

I read elsewhere that the reason for the melee was because the Arsenal players, in anticipation of a draw or win that would leave them 50 games unbeaten, were wearing T-shirts underneath their football tops that read "50 not out". After the final whistle, some United players offered to swap shirts, which the Arsenal players - obviously enough - refused. The ill-feeling caused led to the tunnel brawl. --77.102.114.99 (talk) 07:21, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here goes. If you're unfamiliar with my approach, I will copyedit the minor details myself for both of our benefits, and anything left over I will enquire that you change. '''tAD''' (talk) 19:03, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
