Whitey Grandad

You can’t blame Mike Dean for the offside goal. That decision was made hundreds of miles away. Nobody on the pitch thought it was offside, not even the well-rehearsed Manchester Utd back four. Everything else though...

No matter how generous you are I can’t see his action as an error of judgement. To go flying into someone with your leg stretched out straight in front of you is only going to end in one thing. The ball was on the ground so why was his foot two feet of the ground?

I think he just got fed up waiting for Stockley Park to show him something and went with his original decision. In all the time that he was stood at the monitor he was only shown the one camera angle from a long shot and most of that was a frozen frame. You can see him saying something to the fourth official with a puzzled look.

When Mike Dean went over to the pitchside monitor they didn’t show any replays, just a still image. What was the point of that? Even Dean seemed confused by what he was supposed to be looking at.

What on earth was he thinking? It wasn’t an attempt to get the ball, he wasn’t trying to force McTominay in a different direction, he just went flying in with his leg straight out. Roy Kean would have been proud of that.

Let’s be honest. We all knew it was going to be a snooker score when Jankewitz got sent off

It wasn’t 10?

Last time Bertrand got sent off by VAR for doing nothing wrong.

Govern! I was trying to think of his name. They both engaged their feet before their brains.

The TV companies have bought the coverage and now they’ve bought the game too. I said this at the beginning about VAR. TV has gone from being a spectator to being involved in the matches.

The whole concept of VAR is wrong. It cannot be accurate for such close borderline decisions. Huddle raised the point about the timing of the ball being hit being vague and both he and Ferdinand say that for any defender in the future the decision will be to clear the player out rather than get sent off for trying to avoid him.

What really annoys me is that Martial feels that he has to cheat to win a penalty. They were winning comfortably anyway. That is despicable.

Yes. Stupid isn’t it.

Cheating c**t Martial. That’s a f*cking dive.

They are all checked. You just don’t get to see it at home. McCarthy doing his crouch out of the way act again.

Once again the freeze frame shows a blurred ball.

We’re gonna win 5-4 !

There are plenty of other kids with dreams that would love to have the same opportunity.

Yep. His head wasn’t in the right place and this could finish his career at the top levels.

Yes and we so often lose from a winning position that this should make sure that that won’t happen.

Me?

Not exactly that but his temperament is very suspect.

Right. Let’s win the second half

You tit Savage. Cavani’s foot is only on the line because he fouls Ramsey.

Don’t you just love VAR?
