Match of the Day - 2018/19

[mat]

Mane quite clearly and purposely runs towards the ball when it's played.

Offside.

Simple.

But..but...that's allowed. Because of its not given Merseyside will be in full victim mode.

Mane was onside when he scored. Should have stood.

He was offside in the lead up. Free to Arsenal is the correct decision.

Great performance from referee Probert for the Cardiff v Leicester game, first of he misses the handball save off the line by the defender (penalty and straight red) and then the insensitive pr1ck books Gray for taking his shirt off to show a message to the dead chairman, what a shocking moron !

Vardy was offside so shouldn’t have been penalty & red anyway. But to support your argument, the officials missed that too

Blame the laws of the game for having no flexibility.The referee was left in avery awkward position as his expression displayed,had he not booked him then he would probably have been sat with his feet up,or found himself officiating at FC Rag,next week.

Going forward......Common sense/discretion needs to be introduced,as,occasionally,like yesterday,some incidents and decisions warrant special consideration.

Personally speaking though,and putting myself in proberts size 9's.......i'm pretty sure i'd have kept the yellow in my pocket and taken any subsequent disciplinary action squarely on the chin because sometimes doing the right thing is far more important than any fucking rule book.

As a manager i do rate Eddie Howe but for fucks sake man you got that completely wrong :
"Manchester United are a world class team".
What the fuck have you been smoking son ?

Was annoyed watching the usually good NBC commentary - lost count the number of times he said (when losing and even at 1-1) "this isn't the Manchester United we have come to expect...."
Like how many years has it been since they were a proper force? Yet the myth of the rags must be kept going.......

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is what should have happened

Perhaps he also posted his CV off to Woody last night!

So next time a player takes off his top to show respect to the dead in Syria or Palestine or one of his close relatives the ref should always allow this ?

 

[Pigeonho]

Ref had no choice.

Unless the PGMOL discussed it before the game and told Probert, any messages, Yellow them!
