United thread 2020/21

[Tugay One Cup]

We can safely say Luke Shaw’s dad doesn’t take the same view as Solksjaer.

But it perfectly explains why Bruno Fernandes looks like he needs a fucking sandwich or two.

Ole setting the 'we don't do this' narrative by using his own son and personal upstanding moral fibre. But he gets to a point where you see him pausing through the story in order to get what he's about to say straight in his head.
My money is on him trying to come to terms with getting out such ridiculous words that have been given to him by baconface.

Notice how he kept looking to the side in the interview? That's Baconface holding the cue cards.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

The same double standards as the pisscan?

There’s a fucking shock!

Spurs and United are the two biggest playacting (cheating) teams in the PL. The referee just ignored incidents on both sides yesterday. Rashford, Fernandez, and Pogba were diving constantly. The other tactic, also used by Chelsea, was uninjured players going down to try and prevent a breakaway attack and slow the game down. I am sick to death of it. Cheating backed up by VAR is destroying the game we love.
That's why I had no issues with the Rodri incident last week. Ironically I thought the kick on his knee was a clear penalty but he went down clutching his face. It was pathetic and I reckon the ref overturned the decision purely on the basis of the amateur dramatics by Rodri. Pathetic and I don't want to see any of our players doing it even if it costs us decisions.

So is the Prem full of child abusing managers!
We have Solskjaer not feeding his kids and Dyche kicking his around the garden

Don't worry. Sir Marcus is on to it...

 

[hertsblue]

Just seen the paperboys comments and at least the average one has hit back.
If there is 1 team that cannot moan about other teams play acting its the rags and just typical of the media not highlighting the weekly diving by them when reporting this.

Fortunately Jose is taking a stand against starving children.

Yesterday the rags got the 2nd goal out of doing this.
Penedez goes down and Spurs break out of their area with Luke Shaw out of position and behind the ball.
Shaw clearly shouts / gestures to put the ball out and the rags all stop, pointing at their player lying there with no head injury.
Spurs kick the ball out.
Play resumes and the rags (now in their correct positions) "sportingly" play the ball back to Spurs and then apply the pressure. Spurs never really got a grip on the ball and lose it. Bam. 2-1 to the rags.
A promising breakaway for Spurs to a goal to the rags inside a minute....

Teams need to play to the whistle and refs need to be strong when the complaining comes in when this tactic backfires on the likes of the rags

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I am concerned about the contnued absence of Anthony Martial ..............presumably suffering from malnutrition after receiving his punishment from OGS for his pathetic injury faking.

Correction, rags players aren't guilty of such things.

Fucking hypocrite

 

[Lupo]

Jim Shite is incredulous at Son's actions yesterday and says its no wonder Cavani wants to go back to South America!

 

[manimanc]

How noddy can say son was playacting when he has a full squad of them falling over is laughable. Fernandes is a cheat, how nobody has took one for the team and absolutely twatted him baffles me, you'd want to nail him everytime.
But they all do it, get clipped and scream, that isn't in them already, it is trained into them.

Burnley use this one, feigning head injuries to ensure the game is stopped when the opposition are breaking on them

Remember that league cup semi final back in January when Martial did a pathetic attempt at conning the ref? Diaz stood over him and told him to get back up, they are the master of play acting. No other team in the top four divisions has received more favourable decisions than the rags for last 3 years. Their manager is now calling them an honest team, they shouldn’t be anywhere near 2nd place with the outside help they get.

its been a much slower process than united fans would have liked, but gradually they have become a pretty useful side. Theres been a lot of wasted money along the way, but the signings of fernandes, AWB and Maguire combined with the development of rashford, greenwood and mctominay have turned them into a pretty solid, energetic and clinical side. With the help of the refs along the way of course.

Sadly and incredibly considering the appoitment of OGS, I agree with the assessment.

Pretty sure that the Govan pisshead is still pulling the strings however, as his past managerial attempts were pretty shite as Cardiff fans will confirm.

The Nowegian fuckwit will do as he's told , including hypocrisy .

They did it twice at corners against us to stop City counter attacks. It's a despicable tactic because it puts players with genuine head injuries at risk. The referees need to get a grip on the cheating epidemic in English football. It's an insult to fans.

Yep a despicable cynical exploitation of serious head injury protocols

I think they know that everything looks like a foul when viewed on VAR and is likely to get punished.

What they needed was a reality check and I think OGS has done that. The squad he took over was full of dross. They still have a lot of dross but they now play like they have to earn a result and the effort and back to basics approach is paying off. The problem is how long will they put up with being a high energy (less quality) outfit?
