Thinks for himself
If someone is sliding straight at a player then I think it should be a foul. But Shaw was kicking the ball. I don't know how he's supposed to kick without a follow through. There are some situations where I say the player needs to just pull out of the challenge. This wasn't one of those times. For me it was a clean tackle. With that being said, if an argument can be made to say that it isn't a clean tackle, then that must also be correct. Funny thing this game of football. If an argument can be made to say something is or isn't a foul, then they can both be right. Just depends on how the ref saw it. So this time, Shaw gets the foul against him. As for the Maguire goal, that was absolute robbery. If someone makes an argument to call that a foul all I can say is they are 100% wrong. It was poor defending and their player got caught flat footed. Maguire has every right to go for that ball. it's not his fault the defender just stood there. That is a goal every day of the week and our rivals would be going crazy right now if Burnley scored that same goal and had it called back. In the end, the only positive I can take is that we won the game so that gives us the right to b*tch about the ref because had we lost we would just sound like a bunch of poor losers. But this is a good thing. I remember under SAF we would have a ton of calls go against us but our rivals would always forget about them. But that's what champions do. Champions win even when the ref is against them. Today we could have very easily sat back and felt sorry for ourselves for the bad calls. But we didn't. We went on and won anyways. Not I'm not saying we are going to win the title this year, but that is exactly what title winning teams need to do. Win even when the ref is against you...Shaw foul - I hate the foul rule when you win the ball but momentum goes into the player. It used to be a great tackle but now it’s deemed a bad foul. As much as I hate to say it, it’s a foul in 2021
Maguire scored a brilliant goal and should have stood
