Media Thread 2020/21

[Asa's left peg]

Every challenge in the champions league, that is remotely showing studs, whether the ball is won or not, is deemed a foul and usually a booking. We've seen this so many times over the seasons. Like it or not (and I don't) that's how it goes. We benefitted - this time.

Where did Darke get his pronunciation 'whoreland' from?
His dord dud not have a strange pronunciation

Not half as bad as Jonathan Pierces' "Bonjamin Mondy".

Is it just me, but it seems that the media consider that the dippers result last night was better than ours. Very strange.

Gives them a chance to roll out the famous nights bollocks and the false hope of a dipper comeback to their masses of plastics.

I see the BBC have found a reason to keep United relevant ;-

A good test of the BBC’s impartiality will be next Thursday. Will they show United losing to bottom club WBA to hand City the premiership?

Heard Gerry Marsden's considering a comeback for this one

We failed to get an away goal unlike them ;-)

Don’t go down holding your face then ffs! Tbf, agreed they were out of order, but they were using ammo provided by one of our players.

It was a horrible shit thing to go down holding his head, and should have been booked for it. If however he went down holding his leg, I think the penalty stands.
But we don’t need our players blatantly trying to cheat, especially when they know it will get reviewed by VAR.

What pissed me off about Jenas and Darke was their refusal to think. Everyone saw Can get booked last night, immediately I assumed it was for dissent, they assumed it was for the foul so when the penalty was over turned they couldnt understand why the card was not rescinded. I even saw the ref telling Can after he cancelled the pen that the card was for gobbing off. The 2 muppets didnt.
Even in the second half they were still on about the strange decision not to overturn the card.
Further they immediately assumed the penalty was for a kick in the head which they set about proving wrong. Not once did they say it could have been given for a kick on the knee. It is amateur at best, pathetic at worst.

Sticking the boot out behind you and connecting with Rodders knee/leg to me was still a pen, what didn't help was him going to ground clutching his face.....that's not how we roll at City.

We'd better not sign Kane then.
