Mr Nimbus Posted 13 March, 2023 Share Posted 13 March, 2023 They have all the advantages over us in the world. Multi million pound team, proven league winner as a manager and they cry because a ref doesn't bow down and hand them what they think they are entitled to. Also, that Rashford dive was absolutely horrendous 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 13 March, 2023 Share Posted 13 March, 2023 Even the admin who runs Man Utd’s Facebook page went with a screenshot which looks like an even, 50:50 challenge, rather than the much clearer angle of him jumping in both feet off the ground and going studs first over the top of the ball. Even taking my Saints glasses off, I can’t see how anyone could defend a challenge like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, the challenge was out of control and dangerous. We have seen them from United players any number of times in previous games at Old Trafford. The difference yesterday was they got punished 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No memory for McTs volleyball antics but ABK nailed on handball and consistency required for reds because someone from Chelsea or Arsenal didn't get a red. So salty!

Hawkswood Posted 13 March, 2023 Share Posted 13 March, 2023 Regarding those two points, firstly the red card. I think a lot of us fans remember the rules of a few years back where that decision is a 50/50 however these days its quite clear that with that type of challenge, however unintentional, is going to end with a red. Regarding the penalty, I'll just say what I've been saying to my mates the last couple of years....I really haven't got a clue what is and what isn't a penalty anymore so I just stay out of it.

gecko Posted 13 March, 2023 Share Posted 13 March, 2023 An very unexpected and welcome point. It will all be for nothing if we can't back it up against Brentford - that needs to be 3 points and another good performance to put everyone else under much more pressure. One win moves anyone in the bottom 9 a lot of places, so it's going to be a hell of an end to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Karloff Posted 13 March, 2023 Share Posted 13 March, 2023 There were two decisions that any rational football fan would agree could have possibly gone either way (I'm not even going to dignify the Rashford or KWP ones). Yet judging by the endless moaning from the United fans you'd have thought there was a government-level conspiracy against them. Just the level of outrage when they don't get a couple of decisions is something to behold. When Taylor saw the VAR image of Casameiro's studs on Charley's shin did he really have any option? And interestingly Casameiro and even his team mates didn't seem to give the ref a hard time in their usual fashion. I think he knew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always fast forward through the `analysis' and post match interviews. Both boring as fuck, so didn't really care about that. Would have liked to have seen much longer highlights, but I perhaps the BBC are only permitted to show so much/many minutes of action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All matches are recorded so why can't we see full matches on demand after the weekend? I for one would sign up for that and Sky would benefit from the subscriptions. Access to football on TV is still stuck in the dark ages it seems, a bit like the censorship of Lady Chatterly's lover (spoiler alert: twas the gardener) when we were young lads. For now, the extended highlights on the Club's website give a far better flavour of the match than the few minutes shown on MotD that was. Overall I thought we played quite well with encouraging glimpses of the fast inter-passing style that we came to love before management took leave of its senses…. and we had over 50% possession for a change.
