We were on so early I nearly missed it.

I'm going to complain to the BBC.

Don't worry, according to shearer and dixon, blackburns pens were ok, ours was dodgy.

I'm in the dog house for swearing at the tv, my mrs was not amused...

Emmmm, how were they wrong?

Blackburns pens were ok and ours was dodgy. That's part of what was so funny about it.

I think today the ref just gave fouls inside the box just the same as he would for fouls outside the box.

There was lots of petty fouls throughout the game breaking up play, so he had to keep consistent. lol

Don't agree with that, I think Moyes called it spot on. Contact from Samba on Fellani's shoulder was before he headed the ball, and Formica dived for both. He's good at diving, I'll give him that but he's still a diver.

Exactly. ESPN app has the goals from 5:30 pm anyway, and it's usually longer than the MOTD Lfc love fear.

Selective hearing - they called both of Blackburn's penalties 'dives' and at least one of them very dodgy. Besides it was the Lee F**king Mason show again - a walking disaster of a referee.

1st Blackburn one - was a penalty. Baxter left his leg there in the way of the direction the player could take, he looked for it but the opportunity was there and I'd expect our players to do the same.

2nd one, not a penalty, but the ref had a poor angle and he's guessed at what happened rather than not give it if he's not sure. Poor decision.

Our one, definitely a penalty. They're hardly ever given, but Samba has gone over the top of Fellaini preventing him from challenging for the ball. Anywhere else on the pitch and it's a clear free-kick without any question, so I can't see why the fact it's in the box should change that.

So for me, two good calls, one bad one.

Great post. I agree.
