By ratboy moaning about the assault on him by the ref no one is talking about the clear push on the defender for the rags goal.
Or the foul that Shaw committed at the same time as the penalty foul.

Who decides which incident has priority. The attacker being fouled or the defender being fouled.

Look over there

Howard Webb about to issue an apology to the rags and instigate a rule change where if they miss a penalty they are allowed to retake until they score.

I heard a rumour that Webb has order the players to come back this afternoon so the penalty can be retakes

True,

Your use of "bonfire" night had me scratching my head for a mo' though, :-)

It's just one of my little idiosyncrasies.

When I was a kid, I always thought November 5th was called "Bomb Fire Night" because of the fireworks (explosions) and fires in the neighboring back gardens.

Halloween wasn't really a thing back then. Autumn was all about collecting fire wood and other combustibles, making dens and scavenging penny for the guy.

It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realised a rest bite was spelt respite.

School wasn't really a thing back then either. ;-)

Not seen a clip but how hard did the ref hit ratboy ? Does it wind him ? Did he need emergency medical treatment ? Why did ratboy take the penalty if he was so upset he couldn't concentrate on kicking the ball ?

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

It’s hysterical how Fernandes single handedly pretty much saved them from relegation last season and now they’ve all turned on him after 2 games

 

[mexico1970]

I don't know how he carried on after that, the ref could have killed him.

 

[Shirley]

Kaveh Fuckwit.

They’ve bought a 80 million pound player for 40 million….

Without being too biased with my blue tinted specs. But that incident to me should have been a free kick to Fulham. The foul by Shaw behind Bassey on the other Fulham player started first and IMO the Fulham player would have challenged for the ball.

We all knew it would be United that benefitted first from these new holding rules. I would wager there will be other holding incidents that are overlooked when it's United defending a corner as well!!!

 

[Tracking back]

Exactly!

That Club has got a history of entitled mardarses.

 

[Tracking back]

Gary Neville.

That made me chuckle.

What should have happened was that VAR said there was a foul from both clubs and they should have cancelled each other out. Instead, if we're giving the benefit of the doubt, we could say that the rag who was fouled was slightly closer to the flight of the ball, which is another bullshit trend in football. The "would he have got there?" question that they seem to ask about fouls in the box these days, which basically means if you foul the player early enough, there's no chance of him making it into a position where the authorities will deem it penalty worthy.

I’ve just seen a headline on the BBC website, which reads something like,

Rags' new-look attack has teething problems.

What it really means is rags' new forwards are just as shit as their old ones.

...there's quite few on the Caff who'll agree with you

our game against this lot will get spicey if we continue playing as bad as we have prior to it...on and off the pitch....

But what is the actual ruling when two fouls are being committed at the same time. Any refs on here ?

 

[Vienna_70]

It was hardly a big collision, was it?

And I had to laugh at AMoron not watching the penalty being taken.

Where are you measuring from the wolves game when we was on for treble
