The Manchester United Thread

[Tyton]

The pass from Rooney when RVP hit the crossbar - holy ****. How on earth does he see the opening for pass like that, when I have panoramic view of the pitch in the TV and couldn't see it. Lol.

There is a reason je is on TV and you see TV

That's why he earns milions per year.

Young is a ****** embarrassment and doesn't deserve to play for United. Dives constantly and can't get a half decent cross in majority of the time and his corners are shocking. Adnan was truly a breath of fresh air on the wings today and deserves a starting place considering he did more in half an hour than young did in 60 mins. And if Kagawa doesn't play soon I'm going to ****** because I don't see how the likes of Valencia and Young are starting over him when frankly, they are both playing like **** and have been for a year now.

I actually dont mind diving. Gets all the ABUS in hysterics so its fun. What I do mind tho is pointlessness and Young is pointless. And Valencia is a one trick pony whose trick has been found out.

All in all it was a bit boring today - I think MOYES should be braver and give people such as Nani/Janusaj/Zaha more chances esp in matches such as today's.

Deserved the win but joke of a decision for the penalty, young should have been off.

Second was a foul, but it wasn't a penalty. Not a fan of the rule, but its also a straight red.

Straight red is arguable, was only given because it was wrongly given as a penalty. If it was given as the foul that it was then he would have gotten a yellow considering the other defender was coming across.

Oh, this might interest you guys here, Ronaldo renews his contract until 2018, at the moment he is the highest paid player in the world.

 

[Nick Chelsea]

The dream ends here then?

 

[kitchin75]

not really as we all know contracts mean nothing

Straight red because he is the last man, and there was no one covering back, that defender was not getting there. By the rules that is a last man red.

But outside the box those get given as yellows all the time, which is where the rules are stupid. A yards difference and you have a completely different game.

The Altidore one was a perfect example, clear goal scoring opportunity because he went on to score but the foul was given outside the box. By the letter of the law he should have been sent off but was only given a yellow because it was outside the box, put that 2 yards further forward and he goes off.

But seeing that the Ref thought that it was inside the box he had to go with the red because thats what he thought it was. You cant go 50/50 being a ref in the position he was in.

The rules might be wrong, but that part of the decision is right. If he gives the foul, he should be sending him off. But you misunderstand, its notabout with being inside/outside the box/clear goal scoring opportunity. but about being the last man. Dikagoi was the last man for Palace, with no cover man in place. He has to go. Havent seen the Altidore one, but if Sagna(?) was the last man, with no cover, then he has to go too.

Even outside the box (as it was) its a red. He was still last man.

It was a little further across but it was near the same, Altidore was very clearly through and did score, the ref just blew really early on. I know it's not about being inside/outside but it does appear to influence the refs decisions more so than the actual positioning of the players at times.

Sagna one was a much more obvious foul too, not just two players running into each other.

Then Sagna should have been sent off. That's an error on his part, though I hear Atkinson had a mare.

 

[Vanjagl]

How farfetched people are with their brain when they say it was not a foul and it was not a red card? Yes, it wasn't a pen, but straight red for sure. He was last defender, and intentionally or not, he obstructed Young in 1-1 situation with keeper.

Not really. I remember Terry getting sent off against City when he fouled a player near half way line as he was the last man.

Evans got sent off against City when he fouled Balotelli, he was last man, outside the box but it was red.
