A lot of blues have selective memory syndrome!Was fearing the worse when i saw we had Madley yet again esp after Chelsea at home but was surprised by him today, didn't fall for the Rags diving (you know Oliver/Attwell/Taylor etc would have given them a free kick for that Rashford dive).
Only gripe was the time added on, remember his 4 minutes only v Chelsea. 1st half i though 3 added on was too low considering they were time wasting from every set piece and no idea where 8 came from at the end either.
Expecting the usual v Dippers though, reckon Taylor or Oliver
This week was fair. We were badgering the ref about added time because of their time wasting the whole game so can’t really complain when he listens and adds it on.A lot of blues have selective memory syndrome!
Stones injury - 30 secs
Flare on pitch and Doku sub - 1m 30 secs
Onana fake injury - 1m 15 secs
Evans sub - 45 secs
Rashford sub - 30 secs
VAR check on Ederson - 30 secs
United double sub - 30 secs
Onana time wasting-? secs/minutes
2 goals scored- 2 minutes
So comfortably 8 minutes surely?
Sending off is 5/1I wonder what odds you'd get from a bookie for a red card for a dipper or a penalty to us?
True, when it was 1-1 late on I remember being thankful that quite a bit would be added on.This week was fair. We were badgering the ref about added time because of their time wasting the whole game so can’t really complain when he listens and adds it on.
There would have been no complaints had it been 1-1 when the board went up.
Obviously not a City game, but a result that could have a huge impact on the title race.

Chris Kavanagh might have something to say about that with the 3 points he won for them at the Etihad disallowing a perfectly good goal Simon Hopper would say he’s deserved one as well stopping a last minute City attack v Spurs robbing City of a potential 2 more pointsIf the dippers win the title by 2 points. Tierney should be given a winners medal with them.

Overblown ! Why ? Forest get the ball in the corner and everything is totally different. They could force another corner and possibly score from it, they could look to run the clock down anything. That was a monumental fuck up.I work in Nottingham with a lot of Forest ST holders, they said the atmosphere at the end of that game was one of the most hostile in years. It being Liverpool did have a bearing on it too.
Have to say though, I watched all that game and although a big error, I do think it’s being overblown at the same time too, which I get due to what happened afterwards. He did the same error in the first half too though so it just came across as incompetent to me.

99% of the time, you are not <1 minute from the end. Forest might or might not have won, but they get the ball back, it almost certainly rules out a scouser winBecause 99% of the time it doesn’t have that outcome to it. I’ve seen far worse decisions that have led much more directly to goals. I say it’s overblown because Forest didn’t lose directly because of that decision, which is what a lot of people are saying.
That doesn’t mean I don’t think he should have greater punishment than just a week off though - like I said, he did a similar thing in the first half so he’s clearly incompetent. That he’s not even got a week off and is on VAR this weekend is a pisstake.

Can remember a game,might have been Blackburn where they were attacking the scoreboard end and the ref plays advantage after a foul in the penalty box, they miss the chance(think it was Cole) and he then goes back and awards a penalty.yep. hence why VAR is needed.
prior VAR a ref can point to the spot whenever he feels like. blows my mind people would prefer that.
Totally agree with you, the only problem is, had it been 1 - 1, i suggest to you, there would have been no more than 3 minutes added on.This week was fair. We were badgering the ref about added time because of their time wasting the whole game so can’t really complain when he listens and adds it on.

Yeah, I can't believe he thought an attacker would allow himself to be held and dragged about by a defender in order to gain a scoring advantage.Had almost nothing to do but managed to miss a pen and give Copenhagen a free kick instead.
Had no effect on the result but, he could be a concern in a game that was in the balance.
