  1. Qatar or Ineos - which owners would you prefer? | Vote now Private

    It's not equivalent, but it's also no doubt that they are buying allegiances. I'm also quite certain that Qatar wishes that fans support the bid purely on what they promise to do, and not based on other factors, such as equality or human rights. I could go on, but I guess it's no need for me to...
  2. Qatar or Ineos - which owners would you prefer? | Vote now Private

    Why would I need an example from their ownership of PSG when you can already see an effect right here, on RedCafe? How many posters would show the same support of Qatar had it been Liverpool they were buying? Why did so many Geordies suddenly support Saudi Arabia?
  3. Qatar or Ineos - which owners would you prefer? | Vote now Private

    Is it right for a nation to use football to push its own agenda on fans? Because if you actually think that buying United has nothing to do with their agenda, I have a forum full of people defending Qatar that tells you otherwise. Would you be okay with a nation that self-determined something...
  4. Has Mbappé become the poster boy for footballs greed and excess?

    Being the poster boy doesn't mean that it's true. The crowd is often wrong. After the mess with the new contract and his role in the management team, he might be viewed as the poster boy of greed and excess, right or wrong. Mbappe, and Haaland, are in the eye of the public when talking about...
  5. What kind of ownership would impact your fandom or make you lose interest in the club?

    I did bring up the Jamal murder, I don't feel it's out of nowhere but we'll agree to disagree. I'm not sure why I cannot bring that up without being accused of racism. It's a slippery slope to say that since Cantona kicked a fan we should accept whatever our new potential owners do outside the...
  6. What kind of ownership would impact your fandom or make you lose interest in the club?

    You're the one who jumped to the conclusion that I was comparing Saudi Arabia with other Arab countries and concluded that I meant that they are all the same, that might be racist, you know. But fully serious, I was comparing the quote " What owners do outside of their Man United time should not...
  7. What kind of ownership would impact your fandom or make you lose interest in the club?

    Why do we deserve to be brought back to glory? He kicked a racist bastard, but if you want to compare that to chopping up journalists be my guest. It's actually alarming to see how fast the change is coming when it's suddenly our club in this situation. The whataboutism is already out in full...
  8. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    If you give a red to Case for that you have to give the same to Ayew, who actually grabs Fred's neck with force. I'm not able to post media yet, but here's a link to another angle of the situation. https://twitter. com/fittefranz97/status/1621920538590314497 Why not show this angle? When the...

    Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett, will never forget that Leicester game...
  10. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    Was bound to happen. Do you think that it is the scrutiny VAR brings that leads to the changes in the rules? This being the second rule change this season. Normally I would look at a situation and think it's just a common mistake and you can't eliminate human error, but now that the refs are...
  11. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    Funny you would say that, as this is exactly what Rodri is doing. So if you run at full speed, but are three yards away when the ball is played by the defender, how long do you think it would take before the attacking player makes a challenge? Rodri was challenging inside of one second, after...
  12. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    Mings have stated that he didn't think Rodri would be able to compete for the ball because of the offside, so that doesn't really stand. That's how I interpret his tweet stating he didn't know of the exact rule. I would say that isn't offside, as Rodri here would be receiving the ball from...
  13. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    Well, I don't know you reached that conclusion, but it kind of highlights my point; if the defender doesn't know that the attacker is offside or not, and plays the ball as they clearly can't roll the dice on the offside situation, the attacking player will benefit from the offside position by...
  14. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    If Mings clears the ball because of Rodri's position, would that not indicate that he is inferring the play? Any defender takes that ball down if there is no one near them, saying that he could easily head the ball away is irrelevant in this case. He runs towards the ball and goes in for the...
  15. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    That goal still annoys me. How the defenders are meant to let the ball either bounce or just pass them by to make it offside is shocking, and against everything a defender learns from a young age. How anyone can say that Mings are in control of the ball one second after it touches his chest are...
