It was clearly accidental. And the player who accidentally handballs it doesn't put in in the goal. Therefore no offence.

Keane then. Whatever you call him, he's got more integrity than most people who work in the media. If Utd are sh't. he will say so. As a player I hated him. As a pundit, I like him. He speaks with his heart and isn't in to placating Man Utd fansKeano ..

Yes not really time to change buses after work, so tended to go to the team nearest their factory, so MR more reachable from East Manchester, Gorton etcWasn’t Trafford Park the largest employer in factory’s in 1950s & 60s, wouldn’t that have had a bigger impact on crowds. Finish work Saturday at 12pm, then a few pints until they close just as the football starts?
Im not sure if any truth in it but my old fella used to talk about how many people worked there.

Won’t be the first time VAR got involved after he final whistle.I expect the game to be declared null and void before the draw for the 5th round. Re-played game to be awarded to the rags to keep the TV companies happy.

Used to go to Pontefract races years ago, and their 1st race always started about 2.15 or 2.20.In most factories the shift would be 6am to 2pm. That is why the traditional k.o. time is 3pm. No absenteeism (one shift only Saturday), just time for a pint and off to the match. People think that the rags is a Catholic club (which it isn't) because Trafford Park had thousands of Irish immegrant workers whose nearest game would be at the swamp.
Pretty sure this was to allow the miners coming off shift, from the colliery nearby, to get in the course and get their bets on

Yes. Compare to commentary on City (and on City women) where most of the commentary is on the opposition - “how do you think team x can hurt City?” “From team x point of view, its been a solid 20 mins”. “that was what team x needs to do more of, hit it long etc, target Zinchenko etc”. You get none of that with the Rags.Imagine being a Middlesbrough supporter en£watching that last night. It was endless eomanalysis, reminiscence and drooling over the rags. It really isn’t acceptable to the other clubs in the Premier League- I did think it was so unbalanced.
As for Dixon, he’s a nob and trying pitifully tone funny he’s more of a nob,
As for the Boro goal, it was legal according to the rules. We could all see it was a legal goal and for them to keep on undermining the rules pissed me right off.
you can bet if united and ronaldo score that so called hand ball goal it gets washed over and not even talked about. they got away with a offside goal vs west ham and VAR and the media said nothing.Yes.

Said during the game to Mrs Kippax, wheres the romance of the FA Cup gone?Imagine being a Middlesbrough supporter watching that last night. It was endless analysis, reminiscence and drooling over the rags. It really isn’t acceptable to the other clubs in the Premier League- I did think it was so unbalanced.
The commentary was so one sided it could of been mistaken for an Alf Ramsey's 11 vs Hitler's SS
It is rather odd that tv companies constantly run with the thread of supporting the ‘big’ 6 (minus 1…) clubs.Yes.

even with United’s 1bn (ha!) ‘supporters’ the majority of viewers will be hoping for the other team to win, no matter who they are.
but they alienate the vast majority of their audience by concentrating on the ‘big’ club.
I get that they pick a ‘big’ club to televise matches for, because it drives the audience, (it will always be bigger than a level 3 vs level 4) but I think they misinterpret the reasons the majority are watching. They are watching not to want the ‘big’ team to win, but to lose. And the majority are far more interested in the story of the other team and how they played than the repeated ad nauseum bollox of how the ‘big’ team played.
it’s noticeable that the ‘big’ team fans are all ‘not interested’ in football anymore, but that’s just united, and previously Arsenal spouting off. The lower tiers and grass roots football (ie anyone other than the ‘big’) is flourishing.. and yet tv companies just pander to the ‘big’ and ignore their far bigger potential audience.
‘Big’ football is on the cusp of eating itself, but it only has itself to blame by belittling the majority.
