Match Thread | Man Utd vs Man City (29/10/23)

[Silva&Silva]

Doesn't matter how many times they look at the penalty decision, 10, 100, 1000 times, Haaland is still scoring at the Stretford end.

They’re shite but we have regressed. Is this actually a Pep team? Limp at the Emirates, also here.Not going to win this league by being conservative.

Stick to the music big fella! ;-))

Keys and Gray think penalty.

Tierney didn’t spit the pen (foul on Stones too) and it’s a good job it was on Oliver on var as he doesn’t like being disagreed with

Yep, deliberate barge by Fernandez into Grealish that put him off the pitch, stonewall yellow card in any other match. Players ranting to the ref several times which is now supposed to be a guaranteed yellow, none of them punished.

Cmon blues!

Scandalous decision incoming for utd. It's why they have us that early penalty. I'm paranoid I think

 

[its a Barm]

Fuckin hate derby's so nervous not a pen for me but happy to take it need next goal

 

[Blue Til Death]

He’s another dickhead. Spends his time cultivating an image as a harsh critic of utd, but in matches like this he shows his true colours. Wanker.

Dog Wanker to be precise..!

 

[Don Karleone]

Right, put it to bed lads

On the pen:

To me the reason is Hojlund‘s positioning whilst using his arm.

If he’s next to Rodri or directly behind him it’s not given as we know this is extremely common in the box on set pieces.

Hojlund is too far from and on the wrong side of Rodri so his arm is all he can use

Not just use of the arm though was it, he had hold of Rodri's shirt from the furthest point, thus making it impossible to run forward.

It wasn't just the arm blocking that was the problem.

 

[I'm Blue]

Keys and Gray think penalty.

So it's not then? ; )
