In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Not a pen.. VAR
Pen given.. :/
Not a pen not even a foul, imho
Shocking decision. A dive outside of the area.
FFS was that a Fortnite celebration?
A penalty for me. He started fouling him outside the box and continued inside and his knee got involved too.
Typical Real shenanigans.Hahaha.
Of course he's the one to get fouled for a pen
Great pen for Ramos and fully deserved lead for Real. Atletico have been wank, especially when you consider that they are the home side and this is the worst Real Madrid in years.
The hand on the shoulder is outside the area
I know people here don’t rate Vinicius, but I think he’s phenomenally promising. He’s an 18 year old in a white shirt playing to a Simeone led Atlético. There’s a handful of teenagers in the world that can play at that level.
The actual foul happens when gimenez goes to ground and clips vini's left foot. What happens outside the box wasn't even a foul. Stupid and a bit unlucky, but seriously very very stupid
EDIT: right foot, not left
I do rate Vinicius.
Are there any other 18 year old players who are starters at big clubs? Maybe there is some but it would be quite surprising.
Corea first bodychecked him and then got the ball and it ended in Griezmann scoring. How did you miss that part?
Jadon Sancho
I see a very good dive
.I thought VAR would see the dive and would take the previous action(the light touch in the shoulder) as the reference.VAR is a joke.Good for us today but too confusing
Nah man, clear foul. The action happens between vinicius right foot and gimenez left tight. It's just inside the box. MAYBEEEEE Vini was already off balance and going to fall, but the moment gimenez takes out his right leg it no longer mattersI see a very good dive
VAR is a joke.Good for us today but too confused.
I agree the ref has been very confused. No consistency whatsoever. Yellows that made little sense, Case honestly should be on a yellow, and he's just been erratic in judging identical situations. Case in point, Correa's bodycheck on Vini on their goal. He'd previously left and even clearer identical foul by Lucas V on Lucas H go
I didn't miss that
A prime Bale wouldn't have let that happen
I am not saying the current Bale should play over Vinicius, he's lost much of what he once had. It is just the natural downside of starting an inexperienced 18 year old away at Atletico, where you know it is gonna get physical.
I also thought Godin shrugged him off too easily in the box once, what could have ended in a very dangerous chance if he had kept his balance.
That's what Dortmund do for a living. They breed talent for the big clubs to come and pick them up.
I'd say it's expectations that define how big a club is, not stadium attendance.
Dortmund and Real Madrid have the same number of league titles this decade and Dortmund is currently leading the Bundesliga. They are not sitting in mid table while they are breeding some talents. Ridiculous to say that Dortmund is not a big club. There are just some big clubs who give more opportunities to young players than others (Dortmund, United, Atletico, Real, PSG, Arsenal, Tottenham vs Barca, Bayern, City, Chelsea).
Great finish by Morata for an offside goal lel.
Morata scores a great goal and it's ruled out for offside. Poor guy.Wouldn't have been disallowed if it were Real who scored it.
Even with VAR Real still get help from the refs. Some things will never change I guess
This is so entertaining
It's about damn time i say!
That was extremely tight. I don't think it was clear enough to be ruled out.
VAR is literally there for such situations. If it's ruled out, it probably means it's offside
Maybe, but they could have made it clear then from the footage. Now they showed one still from a poor angle. I mean it's not a computer that decides on the call. It's some blokes in a dark room somewhere.VAR is literally there for such situations. If it's ruled out, it probably means it's offside
RIP Reguilon
It's about damn time i say!
Yeah but I do love reading salty comments on this forum.
We have refs caught on cameras in VAR rooms high-fiving each other after they make dubious calls against Real and then you read this type of comedy gold comments here.
Stay salty boys, I absolutely love it.
Btw, these thughs are not playing football any more. It's wrestling at this point. I just hope no one gets injured.
Wow, Bale lost all his pace
We'll sign him then.Wow, Bale lost all his pace
This ref is a fecking genius
It is a computer that draws the line for offside. Did you not see them showing the graphics in the first half some 10 minutes after Griezmann goal?
Every foul a yellow now
VAR has been very unfriendly to Atletico here.
Reguilon has been the perfect sparring today.
Bale scored that without shattering his ankle. Very impressive.
