Any penalty that is saved by 2 hands is a long way from a good penalty.
Will Rashford get as much stick as Pogba for his missed penalty?
- Thread starter Ole’s Wheel

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Noticed with the Rashford one and the when Tammy got it that a few are from Arab accounts too.
So what kind of abuse has Gary given him so far?
The game's global, it'll be difficult for countries to back ID measures so the vile abuse will spread in unidentifiable locations.
The difference is you'll be here when Pogba is gone (in 12 months).
It's because everything revolves around radicalisation/extremism these days. You are either in one camp or the other, be it politics, religion, gender, whatever.
Social media amplifies it because nobody likes or retweets boring sound balanced arguments. The more extreme your views, the more people engage in supporting or bashing you (which I guess is more gratifying to one's ego than being ignored/irrelevant).
Not sure when it happened, definitely post Twitter, probably with Messi/Ronaldo, but people don't seem to support football clubs any more. They all get deconstructed into players they love/hate and the only relevance thet have is as a basis for loving/hating other clubs and their fans.
Hopefully not, two wrongs do not make one right.
Neville is a cnut, though.

Ask @GNev2.
Neville never criticises English Utd players. He probably thinks Lingard is doing a good job as our no.10.

Sounds like you want abuse to happen, the reason Neville kicked off was because of the stupid debate on the pitch on Monday.
There wasn’t none of that today. Let it go.
Rashford apparently now getting racial abuse directed at him on Twitter.
F****** disgusting.
F****** disgusting.
That we can't even score penalties is the symptom that the confidence of this lot is low, very low.
He's getting abused on Twitter, so don't know what are you on about.
Sounds like you want it to happen, pretty sure racists don’t differentiate between french or English if it comes to colour.
Not Looked at twitter since the match and also thought this thread was more about stick by pundits like Neville (on Pogba)not rascist inbreds on Twitter.
We have a number of player fans here, player fan first, United fan second. Utter disaster if a thread.Imagine calling yourself a United fan then starting thread fully intent on persuading others to slate Rashford.
The feck is wrong with you
I totally agree I'm simply saying that in general people are cnuts, I'm not defending racism at all, hate and peoples need to abuse someone anyone disgusts me, what ever form it takes.
Other than Neville and Souness especially are there any more examples when Pogba was abused by the media?
Stick for his play by pundits, not rascist shite so please don’t insinuate anything about what I want or do not want to happen.
Absolutely - glad I’m not on my own which it feels like on here (apparently your racist if you don’t like him)
I think he’s a bad influence as well, Lingard has certainly gone to shit since he started mixing with him.
Sorry mate, misinterpreted your post.
No worries.
Anyone that's played in net before could have made that save
What are you on about!? Look at the title and OP, like I did before I posted. Stick from the press and pundits is mentioned due to penalty miss not racial abuse he will or should get.
Considering the press are mostly English being as it is the English premier league, he gets less stick and more bias due to him then being English. Thus English golden boy (he’s young) and big hope for the national team.
Mentioning a country or nationality is not rascist, rascism is generally discriminating against a person of different colour/appearance. Neither of which did I mention and considering I am black myself I suggest you wind your neck in and stop insinuating that I want him to receive rascist abuse.
Well he certainly hasn’t helped his form and they hang around together.
So yes.
So yes.
To regain a modicum of sanity
- Pogba's penalty was a mediocre attempt at this level - too close to the keeper and at an easy height - a regulation save
- Rashford's penalty completely beat the keeper and rattled the post - it was a few inches from perfect
Plus Pogba looked a lo more devastated and sad after he missed that penalty, when the game ended he looked really upset. Anyway he will be in Madrid next season playing champions league football with world class players, we will be the usual shite I guess. And the media will find someone else to bash.
This is correct. Embarrassing thread.
Whats so funny?
Pogba looked more gutted, give him a pay rise ffs
Do I really need to explain?
Yeah you do, unless you believe world class players that are getting paid well dont deserve to get upset about missing a penalty.
You seem to find that hilarious with your smiley dont you.
Your defending a multi millionaire footballer because he looked more devastated and upset than another player. That money whore was probably thinking about his bonuses.
Says it all really. Just what I thought about you when I read your previous post.
You seem very bitter about the amount the players are paid, but they're fairly standard rates at big clubs. It's possible to be paid well and to care deeply too.
Come back to me next year when he and his agent take a £30,000,000 bonus pal.
Why can’t we just TRAIN PENALTIES?
Choose one (or two) penalty takers and make them take 100 (or 200) penalties every day, for say three months in a row.
After taking 10,000 penalties in training over three months, a player will be able to finally convert them during games.
Actually, it’s possible to simultaneously choose another player and make him do the same with direct free kicks
