Never mess with the soccer gods! Gave himself bad karma with the whole Greenwood thing...Injured. Will be out for two or three weeks due to a sprain. Of course, he misses the Leipzig game in CL.

I'm ashamed to be English
ah yes because spanish players are so famously sportsmanlike and mannerly when it comes to refereesI'm ashamed to be English

He's always been a tool you could tell but he's a great player.He’s turning out to be a bit of a tool. Great player though.
Ehh, don’t think they’ll punish Gil Manzano for this. Not often refs get reprimanded in Spain.He's absolutely right to be fair. There's a reason we didn't see a goal disallowed like that since 1978...
Ref probably stood down for a week at least.
It's a criminal error for a pro ref, even a school boy ref ain't blowing up as a cross comes in.Ehh, don’t think they’ll punish Gil Manzano for this. Not often refs get reprimanded in Spain.
Sucks to miss Jude again though. I think the default is something like 3 games for comments at the referee. Guess he’ll be well rested for the CL at least.
I’m personally more annoyed by the disallowed goal against Sevilla back in October or whenever it wasIt's a criminal error for a pro ref, even a school boy ref ain't blowing up as a cross comes in.
No idea La Liga ref procedures but I'd be shocked if some action wasn't taken for it.
I hope he gets brexitedI'm ashamed to be English
No, he didn't, It's the ref that disgraced himself. I'm with Jude on this. I mean, how would any of our players react if this happened to us. Look at Vinicius.

the key word been MINIMUM in the added time, no ref calls it whilst in that position.He had played over the allocated time and blew the whistle. What was he wanting the ref to do?
“ah I see you still went for that and it went in, I’ll just blow it now and pretend the first one didn’t happen, add that little bit of extra time on so you guys can win”.
I’m with you. I would be furious if that happened to United, and I have no idea how people suggest Bellingham react. It’s a virtually unprecedented course of action for the referee to take. Been watching football, actively, for well over 3 decades and I’ve never seen that before. So for it to happen in a big match is beyond absurd. And people want Bellingham to do what exactly? Shrug his shoulders, say “oh ok then”, and calmly walk off? No….the guy is doing what any of us would do in that situation and throwing a fecking fit. A well justified fit. Absolutely incompetent, and/or cnutish refereeing.No, he didn't, It's the ref that disgraced himself. I'm with Jude on this. I mean, how any of would our players react if this happened to us.

Exactly. There’s a reason the players are all going crazy, because none of us have ever seen anything like that. It just isn’t done.the key word been MINIMUM in the added time, no ref calls it whilst in that position.
A tool because he cussed out the ref? Sometimes you are faced with such bald faced cuntishness and incompetence, that you just have to call it out. Players are people, not robots. If I had a goal disallowed like that in the recreational league I play in, I’d be calling the ref a cnut. Let alone in a big match like this.He’s turning out to be a bit of a tool. Great player though.
Agreed.Exactly. There’s a reason the players are all going crazy, because none of us have ever seen anything like that. It just isn’t done.
I love how some people in here are trying to normalise or justify what we’ve just seen. . It’s nothing short of outrageous.
How dare you
He blew the fecking whistle while the ball was mid air after a cross. feck that, precedent is generally set that if you're going to blow it blow it before he even gets a cross off (or honestly when they are recycling around the edge of the box)I for one fully support what the ref has done. It is a bit ridiculous that a team can get minutes of additional time to try and score if they can apply enough pressure (the ball is in the final third so the ref will not blow)
If anything, it should happen more often.
I know, I watched the game.He blew the fecking whistle while the ball was mid air after a cross. feck that, precedent is generally set that if you're going to blow it blow it before he even gets a cross off (or honestly when they are recycling around the edge of the box)
I'd be livid too.
He just really fecking wants to win. Nothing wrong with it. He’s right. That’s what this team needs. A lot more passion and grit and to stop players like this from signing with anyone else. Even more so than Haaland I think this is the worst one to have missed out on since Robben/Benzema kind of thing. He’s future England captain too. It made too much sense. If he’s ever available even for a huge world record we have to go for him, not that he’ll join us but maybe he’ll get bored after a CL or two or get homesick.I’m with you.

They should. I find it funny how refs feel they have to keep playing just because the ball is in a dangerous area.the key word been MINIMUM in the added time, no ref calls it whilst in that position.
It's got nothing to do with simping for Madrid.He won't get his red overturned. Sets a bad precedent. Can't curse in a ref's face like that.
Also it was already 1:40 mins over allocated extra time. Some cry babies here and in the La Liga thread who love to siimp to Real
Ah you guys have the league all but sewn up anyway, better off keeping him fresh for a tilt at the CL.Ehh, don’t think they’ll punish Gil Manzano for this. Not often refs get reprimanded in Spain.

Cry babies? Virtually everyone in here is a United fan and almost completely neutral in this. The overwhelming consensus is that this is completely outrageous referring. You are in the vocal minority that thinks this is okay, and to get your point across starts calling people names. If anyone is showcasing a lack of emotional maturity, it’s you.He won't get his red overturned. Sets a bad precedent. Can't curse in a ref's face like that.
