That lad James is building a definate reputation for all the wrong reasons

but, but, but it's because he is so quick......

 

[Gingers Dad]

They will be looking back on Louis' days as a golden period if this keeps up.

Edwards or van Gaal?

 

[Blue tube]

Has there been an explanation on that penalty shout? At the time I thought it might be because the foul started outside the box and var can’t give free kicks only penalties

Edwards or van Gaal?

Edwards & his rotten meat built the club. He is royalty so it goes without saying.

But LVG's team is like Barcelona compared to this lot. Daley Blind will get his own statue, with a watch, stopped the very second Smalling scored v City.

(PS what did I say those fucking Spurs tossers would do, after running about for 90 mins v us ?)

No, it shouldn't matter where the foul started. That's why you often see defenders holding until they get into the box and then suddenly let go. As far as I can tell, it's because they determined that the decision to not give a penalty wasn't clearly a mistake by the referee, because it's subjective. The question remains what actually would constitute a decision so obviously wrong that they will overturn the referee's decision, because so far, I don't think they've ever overturned a decision, and all VAR is achieving is to highlight all of the referee's bad decisions even more.

It was an attempt at a joke in reference to running off with a model etc ! oh well

 

[give it to gordon]

I see the young lad from Swansea they bought was booked again for simulation or diving or cheating

That’s 2 times in 3 games

Some call it the united way - to me it’s just cheating

I think the more shocking thing about the simulation/dive is that the ref's are booking utd players for it !!

Absolutely - Ashley Young was/is a diving cheat but never got booked for it .

Tide turning ?

 

[WEMBLEY76]

As Rashford was lining up to take the penalty the Rags were singing nick back paddy whack song,then it got stuck in their throat for some reason...
