Would love someone to find all the examples of that given as a penalty in the PL in the last five years and all the examples where it hasn’t been given. I suspect this one is a complete outlier.

They’re picking the frame that makes him onside.

Proper football, that. #mufc

We’ve taken less time for goal kicks than they take for throw-ins. But you’re right.

Every single game. They are a curse on the sport. Soft refereeing is complicit.

Yeah for sure. Those scenes were completely wild, but I can understand why Senegal were so aggrieved. It was all nonsense.

For the first 85 minutes I was thinking “maybe I should switch over to something else” 😂

This AFCON final is completely unhinged and it’s INCREDIBLE

The best, most complete performance from a United side in a very very long time.

That’s more like it.

I need to get the ruler out.

The unthinkable consequence and five vital questions over Man City case City strongly maintain their innocence, with further delays adding tension, as Miguel Delaney details the important issues provoked by the wait for a verdict

Absolutely. I’d take a disappointing result against an illegitimate City but with a full 90 of genuine focus and a clear plan, because that’s what we’ve not had for what feels like an age now. Probably since the FA Cup final and that was a bit of a one-off by itself.

We need to see the second half carry the same intent and focus. This squad has had good 45-minute chunks quite often, then they’ve completely fallen off a cliff. I think Carrick will be all over them about that, whereas I didn’t trust it was a priority for Amorim. Here’s hopin’!

I just don’t think we can score enough goals to counteract the damage of the simple ones we concede. We’re asking Ole’s man management to kick into overdrive if we’ve any chance of instilling belief in some of these players. Maybe he can take Dalot’s confidence & put it in a player with talent.

I think when you’ve been so lenient with the opposition, as the team holding the lead and doing all the tricks to slow the game down, you’re only taking that red card decision as an opportunity to show everyone that you’re a big important man.

Keep holding onto that optimism on behalf of the rest of us, please. It’s unbearable.

Considering how many times we see players screaming “f**k off” at refs every week and not being punished for it

I think when you consider Hooper didn’t reckon the shirt pull foul on Cunha was worthy of a yellow card in the first half, that call seems inconsistent at best.

I don’t think we’re too far away from talking about this season as being worse than last season. At least last year they reached a cup final. I don’t think they’ll finish in a European spot this season if I’m honest with myself. The absolute hack of this.

We have arrived at the point in the timeline where governments have to carefully consider the geopolitical implications of banning a child porn website.

I expect them to miss 1v1s and big chances as default now. Dalot will never be the player he thinks he is.

I think you only start well if you score your chances. I just never see teams wasting chances against us anywhere near the amount we do against them.

Game over, I suspect.

The amount of 1v1s we don’t convert. We are so bad at it.

Snort laughed at this.

Every single corner in every single game should be given as a free kick to the defending team if that decision is the measure. Disgrace.

What is the point in VAR if not for exactly that situation? Let the game play, overturn a goal if a goal needs overturned.
