Pogba had already gone, stupid of the defender to stick a leg in. It's cheap but it's a foul and a penalty.

You're talking rAbbish

I suppose you're an 'agenda' to favour UTD kinda guy

I want to know why you pretended something happened that we all saw didn’t happen , so why did you make it up .

It's a penalty by this season's standards. Not saying I agree it should be, but that's the way the rules are followed at the moment. To overturn has to be an obvious error. There wasn't an obvious error because there was contact.

Nope not for me,you do realise that you can have contact with a player in the box and it’s not always deemed a foul or pen,as I posted but,it’s disappearing slowly contact in football will be gone sooner or later ..

It’s not a pen,the game has gone any contact at all is deemed a pen now then,football will end up a non contact sport it’s bollocks ..

It is if you play for a certain team. However, we should see the same for us now that the rules have been set. Surely?

WTF, Pogba kicked the defenders planted leg initially. What are you watching? At no point did the defender, stick a leg in...

Pogba elbowed Luiz first, then kicked the back of Luiz planted leg, then kicked the back of his own calf before starfishing!! And no point did any of what you said happened, actually happen.

Bizarre post of 2021 candidate already!

United are practicing it and taking advantage.Look at the numbers.

Shouldn't players be booked/dismissed for using foul and abusive language anyway?
Yet another law of the game that Old Mother Riley and his incompetent band consistently fails to implement.

The laws used to say foul and abusive language, but I think that has changed now to something more subjective, like wilfully abusive, or similar.

I remember refereeing a game in Beswick or Collyhurst or somewhere. One guy in particular used a derivative of "f*ck" in nearly every sentence that came out of his mouth. He would criticise me using the word. He used it towards his teammates, his manager, opponents, everyone. Should I have sent him off for (incorrectly) calling me "f**king useless"? Maybe, or perhaps I should have cautioned him for dissent.

I didn't though. It made me think that although this was quite coarse language to my ears (strict Christian upbringing, amongst people who never swore), this was just everyday conversation to this player, and he would talk like this to his wife, kids, parents, employer, friends etc. It wouldn't have been fair of me to apply my own standards to him.

There are plenty of laws of the game that aren't applied correctly or consistently though.

That’s the polite way to put it. He’s talking a load of fucking shite.

According to MOTD tonight it was a definite pen. Sometimes I think I’m watching a different game
