[SER19]

I'll say it straight, this game has been decided by cheating. call it cheating or bias, whatever you want, call it 'rawklike' but the most important people in matches now are referees and var officials. tactics, players, talent whatever, can all get thrown out the window by these egomaniacs.

 

[Nero]

"Respect the ref". No, they are cnuts.

 

[LARulz]

Gutted for Case but it's a red card. You can't slide in like that and follow through into an opponents shin, regardless of whether you hit the ball first.

"Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play"

His foot bounced off the ball and made it worse. That's hardly his fault

 

[CM]

He hasn't had a good game but in fairness, it wasn't him who upgraded it to a red. Once VAR call him over there's only one outcome.

 

[Abraxas]

Having a go at the ref but what about Casemiro?

Experienced player twice giving refs chances to make a big decision, completely unnecessarily. Once is stupid, twice makes me wonder what the hell goes through his head because it's certainly not sense.

I hope he twists his ankle or something. Fat bald bastard

The majority of slide tackles could endanger an opponent if miss timed. Which Casemiro didn’t, it was a perfectly timed tackled, but purely unlucky that his foot bounced off the ball in a completely different direction.

 

[slored1]

Has to be sent to the lower leagues for a foreseeable future. Best league in the world and some refs just decide to steal the show.

 

[V.O.]

From the Manchester area so goes out of his way to feck us over as often as possible to show how """""neutral""""" he is. Just fecking take him off our games.

The Gary Neville of referees.

 

[hobbers]

The guy from Manchester who claims to support Altrincham.

 

[77]

Never a red and a missed penalty.

 

[sect2k]

Give over

O look a (closet?) liverpool fan, buzz off troll.

 

[AndySmith1990]

Only fault I can find with him is 1 minute added on when it took longer to check VAR. The length of stoppage time given in every game feels so random

 

[FreakyJim]

An absolute cnut. Always has been.

On what basis are you judging that?

 

[DickDastardly]

Prick

 

[DWelbz19]

Did they even review the Bella Ketchup handball?! He dismissed it instantly. He literally fell into the ball with his hands?!

 

[SER19]

var check and an injury and one minute added. ok then, that's normal and fair.

 

[DWelbz19]

On what basis are you judging that?

Martial plays in it

 

[Idxomer]

The handball incident is even worse, his hand is in the most unnatural position possible for a footballer and he uses it to stop the ball dead.

 

[Big Ray]

Two possible penalties not even looked at and a red that wasn’t. You have to wonder about an agenda here.

 

[AltiUn]

Wasn't wearing the right colour shirt to review a decision.

Probably will be rewarded with a United FA Cup semi or final if we get there.

 

[roonster09]

Exactly, he got the ball and then his feet bounced off the ball. There is no way he can stop that.

 

[Aretak]

His foot bounced off the ball and made it worse. That's hardly his fault

That's a weak argument. If you dive in recklessly then it's clearly your fault, even if it's also bad luck. You caused that bad luck by being reckless. Personally, I think it was borderline and don't think he can complain too much. Not giving the penalty for handball was a far worse decision.

 

[Shinjch]

I really don't understand a pen isn't given for that handball. Just as clear as it gets.

 

[slored1]

On what basis are you judging that?

UEFA coefficient. Definitely not on the state of refereeing though.

 

[SER19]

He hasn't had a good game but in fairness, it wasn't him who upgraded it to a red. Once VAR call him over there's only one outcome.

keep this quote for later in the season. I guarantee you will use it when a United decision is kept by the on field ref. They are TERRIFIED of being called weak or biased at old trafford and 100% over compensate.

 

[wangyu]

Harsh red
Why just one minute? I was expecting about 4 minutes
12 vs 10 men we're not winning today.

 

[Ludens the Red]

He’s is genuinely a pitiful referee. I think the red is a red in this day and age tbh but everything else he did in that game. Like he booked Martinez for basically nothing. I’m not sure how that handball isn’t looked at a second time. He also failed to book a Southampton player for clearly booting the ball away.

 

[Judas]

He hasn't had a good game but in fairness, it wasn't him who upgraded it to a red. Once VAR call him over there's only one outcome.

No? That isn’t how it works, he can still decide to stick with his original decision. The ref has the final say.

 

[Rampant Red Rodriguez]

Having a go at the ref but what about Casemiro?

Experienced player twice giving refs chances to make a big decision, completely unnecessarily. Once is stupid, twice makes me wonder what the hell goes through his head because it's certainly not sense.

Clearly he is being very overplayed, someone needs to come in to ease the burden on the man.

 

[#07]

I think if a Southampton player took out Rashford with a judo move in the box he'd still have to check the screen to give a penalty. Doesn't want to give us anything.

 

[FCAES_7]

Let's say it's a red which I don't think it is! He missed a penalty, and didn't book Southampton player even after kicking the ball after the whistle...small instances like this decides a game. Sorry but this game will be decided by him if we don't show up in the second half

 

[AltiUn]

We've got no choice but to appeal this decision anyway. 4 games is far too many to be missing on the back of that decision.

 

[Jippy]

Martial plays in it

The commentator on Sky NZ was going on about how the game was 'a great advert for the prem'. A low quality half with no goals and appalling refereeing. Great advert.

 

[Judas]

I think it’s harsh, especially if it ends up with a 4 game ban. There’s no intent, his foot bounces off the ball totally unpredictably.

 

[lsd]

We are going to have a million angry posts now about referees and VAR all saying the exact same thing and all redundant as it changes nothing

Won the ball. 1st time he had the guys shirt not his throat. Anyway.

 

[top1whoisman]

Well that's one way to get some rest.
