[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. It wasn’t to be today with the bad refereeing again.

We’ll bounce back but this one was one I really, really wanted us to win. I’ve now got 7 brothers who are going to give me some stick!!

Ah well, such is life. It’s painful but not the end of the world. As my old Granddad used to tell me, Worse things happen at sea.

Hurry up and get well John Boy. Please!!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Surely no one is surprised, we know it's rigged.

 

[KearsleyBlue]

Biggest shafting and worst refereeing at Old Trafford since the FA Cup game and the phantom penalty in '96.

VAR meant to overrule clear and obvious errors. Linesman called it as offside. Bent as fuck.

Fuck them. Hopefully this spurs us on to another title.

We'll be nowhere near.

 

[meeesh]

we need to all have a talk about the state of things…let’s be honest we are shit (regardless of the bullshit equalizer) and pep needs to slap some sense into everyone with the rest of the season to play. I know we don’t dip into the market but our options at rw and lb need to be addressed asap.

Went 1-0 up and controlled the game,how’s that make us shit ?

 

[mexico1970]

We deserved the loss, Phil was pointless Kev is a bit shit at the minute, thank fuck Jack came on he showed a little spirit.

We should take this defeat on the chin (Obviously apart from the microsecond decisions with VAR)

 

[grant1977]

We didn’t lose because of a bad referring decision. We had one shot all game and in the main were second best. They were on the up and the second goal was laughable. Something is up with the side at the moment. We used to score for fun so what’s happened

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Shielding it from who? There was no one near him!

Akanji

 

[Constantine]

Rashford ran to the ball and our players slowed down thinking ‘he’s offside’ so he clearly got involved in the play.

But United were building up to a goal anyway. All we were doing was giving the ball away so they’d still have scored and probably won. We were a shambles after our goal.

Don't think they would've scored if the refs were not bent.

 

[alexmcity]

Those ignoring how poor we are right now and blaming it all on officiating are equally deluded.

6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.

We completely dominated them in the 2nd half up to that criminal decision.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Dont tell me, another result decided by VAR?

 

[PragueBlue]

On the offside goal, it looks to be like Rashford draws his foot back as if to shoot just before leaving it to Fernandes.

 

[Sky Blue]

Got done with a bent decision pure and simple,controlled the second half went 1 up and was comfortable,feared the worst when I saw he was ref,fucking jokers

Spot on pal. Drama queens need to read this post.

 

[Damanino]

keep continue with these shit result and our worry will be the gap to United not to Arsenal.

we need to stop the rot urgently. losing to Brentford, draw to the incredibly shit Everton and this loss today. this is bad, very bad. these three should have been 7 points easily. we got 1 point of these.

if you cant win make sure you dont lose, and we cannot even do that.

players out of form, Foden, KDB, Bernardo, Gundo especially, Haaland does not really fit. we have Alvarez with fire in his belly benched way too many times.

 

[Ajm1985]

Decision was correct, the rule is incorrect

He made an obvious action by running with the ball - Akanji and Ederson are impacted by it as either would have got closer to the ball if he stops running. The rule is fine, the application is shocking

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

We are wank

• 2nd in the league,
• +28 GD.
• Scored more goals than every other team in the league.
• Second best defence in the league.
• Currently 5 points behind the leaders with 60 to play for.

Yep. Absolutely wank!

 

[paulchapo]

Sadly the result I expected before the game. Even after Jack scored I didn't expect us to win. This team has had its day, we've peaked and too many key players are getting old together and on a downward spiral. Haaland for all his goals doesn't contribute much else and once he's isolated and marked we're playing with ten men. Our mentality and hunger has gone. Slow, ponderous, no zip or pace. A trophyless season this one. No way we're winning the league or champions League with this squad, out of the league cup and Arsenal will have too much for us in the FA cup. Maybe I'll cheer up tomorrow but I doubt it.

Oh and as for Atwell and Oliver.....no fucking words.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

At half time I got a text off a mate saying the referee was going to decide the match. I replied by saying it would only be 1 way.
Only possible consolation is that everyone has just witnessed that first hand and knows what's happening.

 

[Segga]

It’s like we are playing with 10 men when Haaland plays and I don’t blame Haaland. Zero service again today.

Rodri decent.
Foden and Bernie shite again.

 

[bluesince76]

He never stopped running towards the ball, Fernandes would've never got there if Rashford had stopped because the defence would've got there first, they were all influenced by Rashford's movement including Ederson, how is that not interfering ?

Read the rule. He could have run circles around it, it still wouldn't have been offside.
The only thing that maybe, maybe, makes it offside is I think he almost goes to kick it with his left. Only noticed it from one angle, but if he does and Ederson spots it, then he goes to save the wrong shot

 

[blueballs84]

We completely dominated them in the 2nd half up to that criminal decision.

Dominated them with a single shot on target.
