Giggs to pull a fast oneRYAN Giggs won't hesitate to pull a fast one on Lille again at Old Trafford tomorrow night despite the outrage he caused in France.
The furious French outfit walked off the pitch in Lens after the United winger's quickly-taken free-kick secured the Reds a controversial Champions League first leg winner.
A diplomatic incident ensued after referee Eric Braamhaar allowed Giggs to take the second-half free-kick before the Lille wall and keeper were ready.
Lille took their case to UEFA claiming Giggs strike was illegal and the referee had violated the laws of the game.
But they had their protest thrown out by the European football's governing body's disciplinary committee.
The French club appealed but last Friday saw the decision upheld.
The row has rumbled on since the incident in the Stade Felix-Bollaert and the French club arrived in Manchester today still seething.
Audacious
The second leg tomorrow night, with United leading 1-0, now has a real edge to it.
But Giggs is adamant he won't be afraid to repeat his audacious set piece should the opportunity arise.
"All the fuss over the Lille goal in France won't bother me when I am on the pitch at Old Trafford," he told M.E.N. Sport.
"I asked the referee could I take the kick quickly. The ref came over and said do you want the whistle, and I said no, I'll take a quick one.
"So I said to Wayne, put the ball down, and that was it. I was pleased to see it go in, if it hadn't I probably would have had a few words from the boss!
"The last time I scored a goal like that, no-one thought about walking off the pitch. I was just amazed by what was happening around us. We didn't know what was going on.
"I have done it before and on Saturday at Liverpool I asked again for a quick free-kick. I asked the referee but in the end it wasn't on.
"If it is on, I will ask again tomorrow night. But if it is not, I won't. It doesn't matter if there is a huge fuss again. I am not breaking the rules so I would do it."
United will progress to the quarter-finals if they overcome Lille and continue to repair the damage done to their European reputation over the last few seasons.
The Reds are already well on the way to putting things right in the Premiership after failing to win the title since 2003.
Giggs knows the blow United landed on rivals Chelsea on Saturday, when they beat Liverpool at Anfield in his 700th appearance for the Reds, was a serious one.
"We've won against our biggest rivals and it will have a massive impact on the championship," he said.
Better
"We are digging results out now and that is what we haven't been doing over the last two or three seasons.
"That is what wins championships not the four or five-nils. It's scoring in the last minutes of matches that does it.
"It would be a lot better if we were still winning them 4-0 but sometimes you have to grind a result out.
"We have been there in the last two years where Chelsea have just kept on winning.
"You just have to try and keep winning but it does have an effect on you when the games are running out. That is crucial.
"Before Fulham we'd have probably settled for four points from the two games if I am being honest but six points from two difficult away games is brilliant.
"Defence won us that game. We didn't play particularly well, But I think we had the feeling that if we did get a chance in the second-half we would put it away.
"When we went down to 10 men, we knew we were up against it. Luckily we had that break and John O'Shea put it away.
"Chelsea are now running out of games to catch us so all we've got to do now is keep winning games.
"We are in a healthy position as a team, but we have still got to go out and get the results.
"As for me, there's no better way to celebrate playing 700 games, I can enjoy it now. To come to Anfield is the most difficult game to play in."
Giggs insists the fear that each game might be his last spurs him on to continue winning.
He now has Sir Bobby Charlton's United appearance record of 759 in his sights.
Giggs has played a part in each of United's eight Premiership titles to date and has been a key component of the side which could claim a ninth this season.
Giggs insists he is now just savouring every last second of action, saying: "Because you get older, you try to enjoy it a lot more.
"The aim is to win every game and every competition because it might be the last."
... As for Evra, i'd prefer seeing Heinze playing in this one... giving them a good kick or two...
