I thought Rooney was interfering with play as the keeper is never going to dive for that in case Rooney gets a touch. Martin Keown seems to know better though.
First goal was interference from an offside position - he was in front of the goalkeeper.
Second goal involved a push in the back.
Third goal was a Rooney dive - I'll give the referee benefit of the doubt and say he was conned.
United through but thanks to the officials rather than free play.
No bitterness from me. I'm quite happy to admit it's winding me up that United are getting results with the football they are playing. I thought it was just a bad patch for them at the start but this is actually the way they are going to play. I know there's more than one way to skin a cat but like I said I'm not too proud to admit that it's annoying.

Keown not a Falcao fan!
And that's 2-1 to United ...
They don't get decisions though
You sure he wasn't blocking your sight?
Rooney wins it and Rooney scores it.
Man Utd v Arsenal in the FA Cup quarter final.
Should be a good game
Well they glossed over that one nicely with barely any replays or mention - but there didnt look to be any contact from the angles they showed.
The way Man U fans are celebrating is a bit tinpot. Do they think they are playing Barcelona? And not some third division cloggers?
Will there be an open top bus parade?
There was no contact whatsoever, none. Rooney dived.
What should they do? Cry? If Preston won people wouldn't stop talking about it so they should be happy about not having to face that at least.

Ok
That was tinpot as well then
Different game if the first goal hadn't been given. Maybe United would have even won legally.
I'd like to see the player who can stay on his feet with a keeper sliding in on him that quickly.
He did leave his leg out to be clipped though.
