I might use this for one of your posts in the Greenwood thread. Ta mate.
Challenge accepted, you’ve been @‘d in the relevant thread. Don’t disappoint, hopefully more relevant than you pitching up on a United forum to whine about us getting a deserved penalty.

Was Don Hutchinson actually I think? Not sure. Either way, they're full of shit. All United haters
Oh Sherwood was doing coverage of our game in the studio for Sky Sports on Soccer Saturday, I had it on whilst simultaneously watching our match.

Key word being 'might' eg. I might put you on ignore or I might have better things to do like counting the moon.

Utd got lucky with the red card, I think Boly gets around but it's not a clear and obvious error and it's not certain so shouldn't use VAR and Red must stand.

Pen is a dive, not as ridiculous as the one given for Liverpool last week but it's more of a booking than a penalty. There is some contact, like with the Liverpool one so they can't ask the ref to check it. Pretty obviously at this point they need to change the procedure because a tiny bit of contact doesn't mean it's not a clear and obvious error and the ref should take another look at calls that probably lead to goals.

Nonsense. It’s a foul.

I’m not nuts - I’d argue that refs making the correct decisions is hardly the gotcha moment you thought it was, that sounds nuts to me. Especially after the calamitous decision we got at Spurs. For what’s worth I think the overall state of refereeing is poor and not that there’s a specific agenda against specific teams - although refs do try to “equalize” poor previous decisions
Fair enough - that's a more balanced take. Sorry for calling you nuts in my previous post.

I'm not sure you're doing what you think you're doing, because it makes no sense at all.
I made a response to his post in here about United’s penalty & he starts talking about MG. We didn’t all agree on MG & that’s fine but at what point can we move on & keep other threads on topic? My replies are as irreverent as his was. He’s moaning about 2 decisions in the United game & instead of discussing those, cause I thought this was a forum, up pops MG again.

Agreed, One thing for sure is is more of a foul than the danger free kick given to Forest for a none challenge by Dalot at 79' on Morgan Gibbs-White. Our players need to be taught how to turn a nothing challenge from opposition into a free kick. Everyone else does it to us.

fecking hell, the Fergie years really left a scar on every other team and fan in this country didn't they.

It's such an easy excise for opposition managers when they play Utd. Any decisions go our way, regardless of if they're clear and obvious and they come out and say its typical Utd ref bias and millions of fans around the country just lap it up because that's what they want to believe.

There’s no controversy on either. Forest player slips and drags Bruno down. Clear contact on Rashford knee to thigh.

Which means Dermott Gallagher will say the ref got both wrong on Monday.

As suspected :lol:


It's truly mind blowing the meltdown that follows us getting the slightest of decisions.

The Onana thing against Wolves. (Allison and Ederson have done similar). Today with Rashford and the Red Card.. All these things happen in plenty of games throughout the season with barely a whimper except when it's United that are the beneficiaries then it's full on hysteria

Marginal call goes against Utd - these things happen, it all evens out

Marginal call goes for Utd - this is a clear example of corruption

It was one of those orange cards, I could definitely see us mad if it was the other way around. Regarding the penalty it's a soft one I dont think those should be given but the are since VAR was established so cant really complain much.

Did anyone hear anyone say anything, let alone see a replay, of Bart Verbruggen punching Soucek in the head with both hands simultaneously, leaving him with a concussion and having to be subbed off?

I mean, considering that the goalkeepers' leeway in challenging for the ball was all the rage just a week ago?

Yeah but what you’re not seeing is that United benefitted from a correct decision which of course warrants investigation!

I’d be more mad at our player being such a fecking idiot than I would be the referee giving a red.

Would be keen to see this.

This is the problem we now have with the uproar over the Onana non penalty (which, as we’ve subsequently seen is often not given anyway) and the red card taken away from Mac Allister which I’ve never seen happen before for similar challenges.
Every lost game is going to result in complaints.
It’s a shitshow made by the officials and their overlords

there is nothing marginal today, both stonewall.
I thought the pen was stonewall and the red card was one of those where sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't.

It certainly wasn't a howler or anything like that, Forest are being pathetic here.

So the closing segment on BBC score is the United penalty ‘controversy’.
Infamy, infamy
They do this because it drives clicks and views. I can almost guarantee that network executives encourage pundits to say outrageous nonsense and create "controversy" out of thin air.

Every penalty Chelsea have ever gotten is a dive, then. Show me literally a single pen Chelsea have gotten that isn't.
