[Random Task]

I can get sometimes ref don't get clear visual from angle and misjudge the situation. But then that's the whole reason why VAR exists.

According to Lee Dixon, VAR can only intervene if the ref has made a clear and obvious error.

 

[charlenefan]

can you imagine if we had a Ruud of RvP up front to latch on to his passes?

RVP's on the bench today isn't he?

Especially during Micah Richards’ day, you know, 2019.

 

[Stadjer]

This. Referees who get overruled by VAR receive bad grades and as a result can lose bonuses too. I am not inventing it, a french ref said it on a radio station

give the var a bonus for a good call... lets see how loyal they will be to the ref in that case

 

[Bobcat]

I’m still having trouble understanding Fred’s booking.

Its because its just plain wrong. He get kicked right on the shin, maybe the way he fell was a bit dramatic, but Dean is a moron for booking him there and the VAR people are even worse

 

[RedIan]

Looked a pen but balanced out as i didnt think it was a foul on Bruno which lead to our goal... no sweat. swings and roundabouts. Just keep playing well please. City’s defence is dodgy as feck.

 

[Kevin]

It's because they think for you to be the best team you have to dominate games. It should show his tactical ability that he can manage these games and get wins even when the other team dominate possession.

Had Martial laid the ball off to Bruno, James done better with his chance and we gotten the penalty and it would likely be 4-0 then this would be one of the best performances this season from any team. Unfortunately we haven't taken them all, so it could be an edgy second half despite the performance. Ole can't be blamed for that.

New to football aren’t you? You will find that footballers miss chances, alot of them. All football games have moments where you can go what if from the armchair. Dwelling on all these will ruin the game for you.

 

[Verminator]

They're going on about the free kick shouldn't have been given and then they debate the most blatant penalty you will see.
Agenda driven shite.

 

[Alek M]

Fred makes a move with the ball and is passed it. Otamendi tried to go for the ball,misses,hacks Fred and somehow not enough contact. Unbelievable

If Fred gets a second yellow it will be nightmare. He must be careful and not as effective in duels in midfield.

Scott will help but still. Clear and obvious error!

 

[The Red Thinker]

Michael Owen has gone down for nudges on his fecking shoulder and he’s talking about Fred playing for it when he’s been clipped. Feck off you scouse bastard. He stole a medal playing for United and has been a miserable bastard ever since.

 

[GaryLifo]

It's pathetic isn't it mate? Some of the fans on here just want to moan. City have had one shot, we have had seven, four on target. Should've had a penalty. Winning tackles all over the pitch.

Seriously baffled why people here moan so much.

I keep saying it. Unless we win 4-0 without the opposition having any shots, Ole needs to be sacked according to many very bad posts on redcafe.

 

[crossy1686]

Can Richards feck of?!?! Biased prick

There’s literally no point in him being on TV. He wouldn’t give United any credit on match of the day and asking him to give his opinion on the derby is a fecking waste of time.

He was asked about Grealish going to United the other week and said he shouldn’t go to United.

He’s fecking obsessed.

 

[Isotope]

This is a joke right? Matić has played well.

We just have different standard of "playing well".

 

[Irrational.]

Micah Richards is a pretty stubborn, biased pundit. He has no idea on how to appear impartial.

 

[mitchmouse]

Half time pundits are poor. Ok the Bruno foul was soft but he’s come from the back of him and caught him. Soft but is a foul.

How Richards can sit there and say Fred is theatrical. He got kicked in the shin. Blatant penalty. VAR can be so strange at time.

oh is that who the prat is... another one who's defending skills make otamendi look good

 

[Resch]

Plenty of times they've given penalties for flopping this season.

It is nonsense, why not giving a clear penalty prevents flopping?

 

[DevilRed]

MARtIAL !!
1-0

The execution of that strike is much harder than it looks.

 

[arnie_ni]

Fair enough, but that yellow could screw us over.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Amazing the difference it makes having someone who can actually execute set pieces well

This. It wasn’t even remotely theatrical.

It’s the kind of pen that when it’s given, you see one replay and think “yeah 100%”. Can’t believe VAR didn’t spend longer looking at it.

Not to mention we have actually pinned them in for long periods.

 

[VP89]

Martial the first player to score both home and away vs City since Ronaldo in 06/07

 

[RUCK4444]

Today during the half time break, I learned that you're allowed to kick through the back of people during derbies

I was just saying the same. The rules change for a derby apparently

Absolute horsesh*t

 

[Big Andy]

Ummmm I believe United as a club have benefited more from VAR than any other club so far?

I feckin detest it though

All that tells me is that referees make more decisions against us incorrectly

 

[bsCallout]

What does that comment have to do with anything I've said?

 

[Irrational.]

If City get anything out of this game the blame lies solely on Dean and his band of cnuts in the VAR room.

 

[Majima]

VAR says insufficient contact to go down. fecking cnuts are making excuses to cover for a shocking decision.

That's an insane excuse. The rules state contact=foul. How can they be so sure that the contact never impeded Fred? They are mind readers now?

I don't even know why it's being debated. Otamendi kicked him in the box clear as day. It's crazy.

 

[rollingstoned1]

Michael Owen on my stream saying Fred played for it, it's slight contact and probably not a penalty. fecking thick piece of shit.

Guy won a pl title with us yet I get the impression that he doesn't like us whenever I watch his punditry. Not as bad as Hargreaves though.

 

[Isotope]

This is a poor take. Matic has been good. He's had some really good interceptions and he's protecting the CBs quite well.

Agree on Dean, though.

Nope when defending. He's so slow to everything: closing, tackling, anticipating. He's good passer though.

 

[-Supreme-]

Good half, we need to be smarter with the ball when trying to keep possession particularly from our defenders i.e Shaw. I can see City getting a goal if we fail to clear the ball or play it simple and holding it for too long.

 

[Andycoleno9]

I don't trust Ole's teamtalk.

 

[DevilRed]

I'm actually really proud of the way we have improved our attack as time has progressed.

We dealt with the injuries to our best two players really well. Credit must go to OGS and his staff no matter what happens in the remainder of this match.

The potential is there to see. Imagine any other side losing their best two players and putting in a performance like this.

 

[McGrathsipan]

I paraphrase...

Sky host: VAR says there wasn't enough contact to warrant that dive

Roy Keane: But he was kicked in the shin

KeanO

 

[Volumiza]

We just have different standard of "playing well".

So what more could he do for you to think he’s playing well?

 

[The Red Thinker]

The execution of that strike is much harder than it looks.

Martial has skills more than Lingard has beans. If only he could give a feck more often.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

I’m not sure what more Otamendi could have done for Dean to give a penalty there.

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Michael Owen has gone down for nudges on his fecking shoulder and he’s talking about Fred playing for it when he’s been clipped. Feck off you scouse bastard. He stole a medal playing for United and has been a miserable bastard ever since.

He’s so full of shit, I bet he wouldn’t say that if it was a Liverpool player.

 

[Feed Me]

That's an insane excuse. The rules state contact=foul. How can they be so sure that the contact never impeded Fred? They are mind readers now?

It’s bollocks

They are getting their story straight to excuse an awful decision

People would have more respect if they just admitted error

 

[kiristao]

According to Lee Dixon, VAR can only intervene if the ref has made a clear and obvious error.

If thinking Fred dived when actually there is clear contact is not a "clear and obvious error" then I don't know what is.
If Mike Dean had not booked Fred, they could have said that maybe he saw the contact but felt there wasn't enough contact. You can't book someone for diving because there wasn't enough contact.
