And then allowed him to get kicked, without anyone getting yellow.
Disasterclass.
WTF did I just see. Surely there is some other context to it. If not then Moss should be relegated.

I just think it invites trouble though. You can't be surprised if someone comes an cleans you out, and no one wants a pointless injury.That’s ridiculous. I’ll never understand the ‘showboating’ thing. If you are good enough to do rainbow flicks and take the piss out of the opposition then good on you, it’s up to the opponents to get the ball back and go and score a goal. I’ve never understood how it’s ‘unethical’ or unsportsmanlike, it’s entertaining.
Yes, exactly. After the 2008 FA Cup game against Arsenal, Nani was criticised by some people for doing the 'seal dribble' when we were 4-0 up - but I kinda felt that the Arsenal players trying to kick him off the pitch in the process were far more unsportsmanlike.That’s ridiculous.

Again, the emphasis on the wrong thing. Why do we just accept it that if you try a clever trick, some thug will attempt to end your career? Maybe we should stamp THAT out of the game, instead of technically proficient players entertaining people.I just think it invites trouble though.

It's a legitimate way to defend a lead. Inviting trouble? So is being in the penalty box trying to score a goal. Wtf are you on about.I just think it invites trouble though. You can't be surprised if someone comes an cleans you out, and no one wants a pointless injury.
Spot on, the rainbow flick was to try and attack anyway, so it’s not like it was to kill the game.Again, the emphasis on the wrong thing.

100% agree. Showboating is a part of the game.That’s ridiculous. I’ll never understand the ‘showboating’ thing.

Ah the old "she was asking for it" defence. Absolute nonsense. Ref should be binned.I just think it invites trouble though. You can't be surprised if someone comes an cleans you out, and no one wants a pointless injury.
In that scenario we should be pissed off at our own inability to win the ball back off them rather than their audacity to keep it and do a few neat tricks.When we take off our rose tinted glasses and turn events around. United 3 goals down, Burnley players doing rainbow flicks and passing the ball around the corner flag, then we won't get this pissed. It's football grow up.
Moral police Jon MossJust seen it. What the feck has it got to do with the officials? Just goes to show they think they're bigger than they are
A referee can never reasonably accuse it of a player in any circumstances.I think you could reasonably accuse someone of taking the piss if they’re several goals ahead and taunting opposition defenders just to make themselves look good.
Absolutely insane to accuse Pogba of that while trying to preserve a narrow lead.
ManUtd weren't 3-0 up and was in luxury position. We were 2-1 up and Pogba was wasting the time by keeping the ball near the corner flag.When we take off our rose tinted glasses off and turn events around. United 3 goals down, Burnley players doing rainbow flicks and passing the ball around the corner flag, then we won't be this pissed. It's football grow up. Of course, Moss is tits. All prem refs are.
I think they can. A quiet word in the ear of a player who is taunting already beaten opponents is good refereeing IMO. Obviously, that’s not the scenario here.A referee can never reasonably accuse it of a player in any circumstances.
