And Poundland Haaland gave the penalty away. ;)

Is that his first assist?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I don't think it was soft at all, it's ridiculous the amount of grabbing, pulling and holding that's crept into the game in recent years, would only take a couple of penalties awarded to nip it in the bud, all of that said never would I have imagined that given at the swamp.

Generally, if both players are at it, then penalties aren’t given.

Hojland was far too obvious with his pullback. Almost as obvious as Ederson is when Timewasting!

 

[yeah whatever !!]

She's nuts. That awful whining monotone voice, she doesn't even take a breath. Imagine living with that, unbearable.

Could be worse, you could be living next door to her for 24 years.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

To be honest Poundland Haaland looks ok as a player he probably score 20+ goals plus in our side he had a good effort that ederson made a good save of to! The lad has ruined his career going there!

He’ll be loaned out to Roma in a couple of years.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

My only minor gripe is that Doku didn’t come on earlier. He would have absolutely ripped the United defence apart.

And possibly given the ball away allowing them to score on the break. As per stats, Doku gives the ball away 2x more often than Grealish. Not to mention Jack was playing great and didn't deserve to get pulled off early for a player that's been in the squad five minutes.

No such thing as a brilliant Scum fan.

His dad is.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Rags complaining that ridri wouldn't have got knowhere near the ball makes it the more baffling why he would need to pull him back then?

Surprised they aren't charging Haaland for a public order offence for scoring at Old Trafford, or Michael Oliver, for that matter, for giving us a penalty. Both led to significant offence being taken in the stands.

That Haaland hey,inciting decent folk to react in a fair and decent manner,move along nothing to see here........

 

[Gaz76]

read it was 53 passes before rodris shot

Alistair Mann and Andy Morrison were saying it was in treble figures on the highlights on the OS, didn't we score one against them lot before and there was a benny hill highlights roll of it with so many passes

The only woman I know who's got cornettos for fingers.

You can just imagine her in the pub. Loud, gobby and miserable as fuck.

It wasn't given, Until VAR intervened.

Our first penalty at the swamp for 31 years.

No, I understand that it's a mitigating factor, but the prevailing narrative is "why doesn't VAR get involved all the time" and the reason why it doesn't or didn't get involved elsewhere - ie with Maguire on Haaland - is because the referee "saw" it and didn't give it in real time. VAR only intervenes if the ref has missed something.

That's not in the protocol. Referees "see" stuff all the time but it isn't what happened. That's when VAR should intervene.

 

[PPT]

Our first penalty at the swamp for 31 years.

And how much would have it been like City to miss it? :-)

 

[BringBackSwales]

yes

Good man, good kid. I wonder how many were doing that in total (despite the fact you just can’t get tickets for the rags!)

 

[BringBackSwales]

This is why Tent Peg will be gone soon, he's lost the plot, United fans I know are raging about this, they were at home in the Derby, as good as we were they were shocking it was just their general attitude

Of course I am happy at beating them but it's more fun knocking them off their perch when they think they have turned a corner, it looks to me that they fell off the perch a long time ago

Let’s not forget at the end of last season, and therefore the start of this, the rags and their media were proclaiming ten bob as the new messiah who was going to knock Pep off his perch, after their (home) league cup win and 4th place finish. Pep must have been shitting it

Has anyone found out how many touches Invisible Mount had yesterday yet?

When will VAR be used in Premier League matches?​

The VAR is constantly monitoring the match.

VAR is used only for "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" in four match-changing situations: goals; penalty decisions; direct red-card incidents; and mistaken identity.

But factual decisions such as offsides, and the issue of whether a player is inside or outside the penalty area, are not subject to the "clear and obvious" test.

If the VAR sees an error has been made in such a situation they will intervene, regardless of how marginal the decision is.

There is a high bar for the VARs to intervene on subjective decisions, to maintain the pace and intensity of matches.
