The worst thing about farcical officiating

The one that's been irritating me recently is the idea that Rashford was very clever to leave it for Fernandes. It's utter bollocks. Fernandes is obviously the one that gives him the call to leave it. If Fernandes hadn't done that, Rashford would have clearly taken on the shot oblivious to the fact that he was offside. When a player knows they're offside, they slow down and make a show of demonstrating that they're not interfering, they don't just run after the ball as normal.

A similar thing happened in the first half. A ball came Rashford’s way, clearly in an offside position and he refrained from touching it initially, knowing as soon as he did, the flag would go up. But then he couldn’t resist anymore and kicked it anyway. No doubt if Fernandez was a fraction of a second later on the scene, he would have shot himself.
 
Bar the OTT headline, Wheeler agrees (in the small print) the goal shouldn’t have stood.

Just had a look back over recent derby fixtures. The last time we had a penalty in the derby v them in league was in 2007.

United have had 12. That's incredible.

I think if you look at the stats over a longer period it would be even more startling.
