One of the big questions from yesterday is...


Had it been awarded. who would have taken the penalty??

An̈d missed.....

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Sometimes we complain that they're wasting time showing too many angles here it would have been justified, the fact that they didn't show the most glaring angle throws the spotlight on them and leaves them wide open to all forms of criticism.

Didn't the rs benefit cos a camera wasn't working v wolves?

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

That's right. For clear mistakes like that the PL should have to pay a fine - minimum £1m to the club. Saying sorry isn't sufficient.

Maybe get Elton John to pen a song about it.....

 

[Toffeelover]

The latest on the penalty controversy is that Young put his feet together and dived, the pull on him was not enough !

Me, I am still fuming over this.

 

[hallamblue]

That was the most outrageous decision I've ever seen, absolutely unbelievable.

I'm not sure it was the most outrageous decision made by VAR yesterday, did you see the Bournemouth sending off?

 

[hallamblue]

Didn't the rs benefit cos a camera wasn't working v wolves?

In the fac cup. There was a camera that showed the Wolves player clearly onside, but they couldn't use it for some reason and stayed with the onfield offside decision. Luckily I think Wolves beat them in the replay.

I'll ask a very simple question.
Would that have been over turned 1 mile over the road .

Or even closer than that - 100 yards the other end of the pitch and the poor man’s Luis Suarez gets his shirt pulled it’s given and VAR doesn’t get involved!

 

[Drico]

And, by the way, the manner in which we have competed against Liverpool and United in the last month has got to be the minimum expectation from now on. Sure, United are at a half-century low - but so are we! Liverpool aren't exactly struggling right now...

This inferiority complex has GOT to be eliminated once and for all. THAT will be the real legacy of the Friedkins.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I guess substituting a 39 year old guy late in a match against recently substituted strikers from the opposition isn’t a sound strategy after all. Still scratching my head why that didn’t work out for us.

 

[girders]

Had a wee look on a Man Utd forum ,they are actually saying Young should have been booked for diving . ,bit rich when you consider they have Fernandes and Garnacho in their team .

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Ugh, Garnacho is so bad when it comes to flopping and diving. Sometimes the replay shows he wasn’t even touched and he just tripped. But he falls to the ground screaming in agony as if someone took him out with a sniper a half mile out. Then, miracle of miracles, praise the Lord, he’s up and walking again.

 

[LEONARD]

Felt like a defeat.

Also curious…. It’s irrelevant anyhow, but would love to see the foul leading to their equalizer.

Maybe I have read it wrong but sure it was for a foul in garnacho close to the touchline and then the free kick was taken 15-20 yards in.

Maybe I have read it wrong but sure it was for a foul in garnacho close to the touchline and then the free kick was taken 15-20 yards in.

That’s what I thought as well.
The players have to take some blame for not moaning at the ref to move it to the correct place.

That’s before we get on to the foul on Branthwaite by De Light which meant he could not block Ugarte on the edge of the box.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Idrissa for my MoM. A pity we couldn't get a 3rd before half-time, I feel that would have put United away. Also a pity we had such a biased referee yet again.
