United (A) Post Match Thread

The "United Way" in action.

Loved Bernie's reaction, but why are they shouting paedo at Phil?

After 4 billion years of life and evolution on this planet, the United DNA has a number of strand missing that allows their knuckle-dragging morons to function and grow. Fuck knows how they reproduce!
What utter dicks I didn’t know my hatred for them could grow but seeing that has taken it to hights
 
its funny, i used to fucking despise them, like properly properly despise them. But see now, see the past 8 years, they've been nothing more than an occasional inconvenience for us. I still throughly dislike them, but they dont get under my skin like they used to
Oh i hate them. The ‘old’ united rears its head on a regulator basis and reminds me why i hate them
 
Thats not what happened. Jesus touches the ball to try and go round Telles, Telles then swings for the ball touching it very slightly but then follows thru and kicks Jesus. The question is whether that touch negates what comes after. According to the current laws it doesnt.

Getting the ball first has minimal relevance as to whether a foul has occurred. There is no reference to making contact with the ball in the section relating to Fouls and Misconduct in the Laws of the Game, but it may be considered by the referee in deciding whether contact was careless, reckless or excessively forceful.

There are six offences in which contact is made with an opponent that cause a direct free kick to be awarded: first one below

  • kicks an opponent carelessly, recklessly or with excessive force

So clear pen as tackle was careless even with the slightest of touches to the ball
depends on which amgle is shown tbh. the one i saw makes it look like the defender swings his foot, gets a glancing blow and then his foot jabs into the turf and jesus kicks into it at the same time.

the one you saw shows from the reverese , you can barely notice the touch at that angle and it looks more like the defender swipes jesus’ foot away.

in summary is it a clear and obvious error? or do they stay with the refs decision - and this season they have leaned towards doing so.

and i’m fine with it
