Ref Watch

[Gingers Dad]

What do you becoming?
He was the only person in the world who didnt think Rashford was offside for the goal at the swamp

Absolutely diabolic decision but it's amazing how so many pundits and ex-refs decided he was right after the event.

I had my doubts about the guy last night once I found out he was Spanish - I thought another Spanish ref who's had a few run ins with Pep and suitably placed by Uefa to fuck us over, but Pep had taken his sabbatical before Señor Manzano started his whistling wanker career. After a few clatterings of our players that went unpunished he wasn't all that bad, but only when compared to the shite that turns up in the PL.

Not sure, there was loads of shirt pulling and pull backs on our players that went unpunished at the family stand end. How the fuck Haaland’s shirt kept grabbing the hands of Bayern players I’m not sure

Ah, I pretty much as far away as yer can get, and the eyes needs taking out and giving a good polish, but they're ok for spotting any pens we don't get at that end!

I thought he was fine. Admittedly not the hardest match to ref as both sides generally behaved when there could have been wildly sliding tackles. It was interesting to see his hand gestures that a foul wasn't a booking as it had been very marginally mistimed - that at least explains his thinking.

Couple of minor errors last night but overall by far one of the best performances by a ref this season. The liner though...one job....did the ball go out of play!!!!!!!!?

Remember that goal at the World Cup, where the ball seemed miles out to the naked eye but technology showed it was just overhanging the line?

I suspect linesman have been reminded of that before this season. Seen a few now like last night.

Suppose he had the best view but looked out to me & to the unbiased fans in line with the touchline.

I thought the referee last night was excellent. The only, minor, gripe was how long it took to card Pavard.

Pavard should have been booked in the first half.

He pulled us up for a few 50-50's but let them get away with way worse on us on a couple of occasions. He also waved play-on twice when Haaland was blatantly blocked as he was looking for the return ball. Both should have been a booking (I think one of them was Pavard), and both times the play came to nothing. But apart from that he was okay.
