Getting first to ball is now a foul.


If it was against United, Rulebook would have been follwed. And United player would have been sent off. It's amazing how refrees bottle decisions. He just knew he had to give red so took the easy option out.

 

[Jezpeza]

He didn't. He said the foul was soft.

it was. Is it really climbing when you duck and lean forward as someone behind you jumps? I always thought climbing was hand on the shoulders to stop them jumping

 

[big rons sovereign]

Shearer, Cole and Dermot Gallagher basically calling friend shit.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Bruno is so dangerously close to getting second one. We definitely need to score and get him off

 

[Berbasbullet]

Please lads get a win here!

 

[rooney2009]

We just need to pass the ball quicker
Speed up the play and we will create more chances

 

[tjb]

What's funny about the game is Burnley keep going down and getting decisions, yet are really aggressive, so when we go as hard as they do, we are getting called for fouls. Maguire's goal should have stood. Even the injury time was poorly officiated. We need to really punish them when we are in possession. One of our wingers need to drop deeper. We are taking too long to craft chances.

 

[Oranges038]

That Maguire goal is a joke of a decision, great header, perfectly placed. Defender doesn't even bother jumping, of course Maguire is going to come down on top of him.

 

[Sandikan]

He didn't. He said the foul was soft.

That was the other bloke.
Redknapp was 100% certain it was a goal. End of story.

 

[Heinzesight]

We will come out strong I’m sure. Don’t play into Burnley’s hands with all the petulant shit. They want to frustrate us...don’t let it happen.

 

[Yorkeontop]

If so, you picked the wrong argument because Shaw was clearly first to the ball. You could argue there was a follow through, but Shaw was clearly first to the ball.

Again with the liberal use of "clearly". Now we clearly have different perspectives on this incident and I can live with that.

 

[Deery]

Shaw’s was a foul tbf getting the ball or not but the Maguire goal should have stood nothing in that

 

[SalfordRed18]

He didn't. He said the foul was soft.

He literally just said ref made a mistake it should be a goal.

 

[Dobba]

This is literally what happened when Shaw broke his leg. No card, no penalty.

Guy who broke his leg gets MOTM.

 

[Ranchero]

Rashford has been awful and has been for several games.

What a load of old balls you are talking. You might as well say that Man Utd's home ground is the The Etihad.

 

[sammyhol]

I think in the end the decision on Shaw was probably about right..... but the thing is... they weren't going to give it.

The last thing they watched on the pitch side monitor (twice) was the Cavani foul.... which was a clear red. They knew it was gonna cause uproar with the Burnley squad if they sent him off... so on balance they gave the foul on Shaw.

But balance shouldnt come into it... its either a foul or it isnt... and if it was (which it was for me).... why the hell did they then go on to watch Cavani incident again...

You cant give one decision just because you don't want to give another!

 

[PoTMS]

Dyche better be saying the game's gone again in his post match interview for that pathetic decision to disallow the Maguire goal.

 

[Santoryo]

This game has been very disruptive which hasn't helped it get into any rythm. Saw signs of doing it toward the end.

One thing we shouldn't allow is let Burnley score first otherwise we'd be fecked. This means abound to give silly fouls. Was annoyed at AWB giving Burnley a silky foul when we should be trying not to gift them their most likely way to score aka set pieces and long balls.

 

[432JuanMata]

They've both been pretty poor today. It's not a game that suits their strengths.

But Rashford has without doubt had way more good moments than Martial this season to date.

Both are pretty poor a lot this season and yes if I had to pick one it would be Rashford. As I said he has decent stats this season but his overall play has been poor a lot this season

 

[90 + 5min]

You can't even analyse the game because of this incompetence or if this is done with purpose. If I was manager I would surley be sent off for saying to refeere some nice chosen words. I hope that Solskjaer, whatever the score is at the end of the game, gives a interview that is what we all think.

 

[John Keiler]

Oh man sky making the controversy shaw not being sent off is disgraceful

Cockney Scouse c*nt says ref is right - who would have thought?

 

[Acole9]

I think the Shaw/Brady they just got it right in the end. If they hadn't pulled it back I think Brady would be off.

As for the goal, that would be a trademark Burnley goal most weeks.

 

[CM]

Problem with VAR is that they cancel decisions which are obviously wrong. If ref allowed goal, goal would stand after VAR check. Crazy stuff, isn't it? Ref fecked us there, not VAR

Probably. Part of me also thinks Maguire's been penalised because he's a bit bigger too. If Greenwood does something like that do they pull it back?

 

[ArjenIsM3]

I'm still fuming about the ridiculous decisions by the ref. What the feck. What a cnut.

 

[tomaldinho1]

They are such a terrible football team, I think we've got this just keep chipping away

 

[Hughie77]

Even bloody Redknapp said it was a goal. That's saying something or hes taking the piss.

 

[Smores]

Getting first to ball is now a foul.


If it was against United, Rulebook would have been follwed. And United player would have been sent off. It's amazing how refrees bottle decisions. He just knew he had to give red so took the easy option out.

He didn't have to give a red though.

That’s what pisses me off the most. Pogba got flattened and then 1 minute later matic does the same type of foul and he blows it immediately.

it genuinely feels like friend is out there to stop us at any chance possible.

 

[calodo2003]

Mata for Rashford.

 

[Ranchero]

That was the other bloke.
Redknapp was 100% certain it was a goal. End of story.

APOLOGIES AGAIN! My brain is scrambled from the Shaw incident. Basically... the ref and VAR got it right IMO>

 

[Jim Beam]

Fuming about that Maguire goal. Absolutely nothing in it. No foul, no VAR intervention, nothing...

Just feck off

 

[Foxbatt]

Why do all of our players stop and pause whenever we get the ball?

 

[Hoof the ball]

I wish there was a stat that measured the 2nd ball attempt/won rate. We'd surely be quite low on that table. I'm watching the 2nd ball loose on the edge of Burnley's box and Shaw flat-footed, stood completely still and a Burnley player no closer to the ball somehow get to it before Shaw even shifts his body. This is prevalent throughout the team. We have one or two guys that will chase a 2nd ball but the rest don't apply the supporting pressure.

 

[Zen86]

He just took our side saying it was a legit goal

He said that after I posted... I still think he’s a bellend though

 

[Drainy]

Shearer, Cole and Dermot Gallagher basically calling friend shit.

A solid quarter of Shearer's open play goals would have been disallowed if contact was banned like in Maguire's disallowed one.

 

[Ranchero]

Mata for Rashford.

Rashford not getting the ball.

 

[Red Royal]

Give Martial 10 minutes, if he doesn't improve put Fred in, move Pogba further up and use the possession. We will still have Greenwood on the bench if needed later.

 

[red_de_pologne]

Man I hope Bruno isn’t getting a second yellow

 

[croadyman]

Bruno on 4 yellows...

Yeah Shaw is also walking a tightrope at Anfield on 4 as well

 

[MetoTTT]

Mata for Rashford.

No way...Mata.
