Just make it a challenge system. If a manager is stupid enough to risk wasting one of his challenges on a corner, then so be it. If they end up getting a poor call against them in the 90th minute, having run out of challenges due to using them on throw-ins, then tough titties.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Ozil's had enough
Ozil looks well mpressed lol.
I think City will soon start giving away free tickets and I wonder even that will help filling up their stadium.
Fernandinho probably MOTM for me. Such an excellent player..
He isn't utter shite.
It's an annoying result and they have got some luck in these big games. But let's face it, they play absolutely spanking football, and that's what is more troubling than these decisions here and there.
The reason good teams get decisions is they create enough opportunity to benefit from a mistake, or a 50/50 call.If this had happened vs. United, it'd be "well, we have some shit calls go against us, it's about time something goes in our favour, bla bla bla". A City fan can probably dig up past shit decisions against them too, so this evens it out for them, I guess
It was alleged Fergie had the officials in his pocket when we were at our best. But it was always we'd create a shitload of openings and either we'd score or eventually an offside or pen decision would go for us.
Shit teams don't create enough to increase the odds of getting an officiating error. But they still moan the big teams get the decisions.
Nooo, don't ban Santi, he single handedly keep the football threads alive
It actually looks more empty than it really is, because of the light blue seats. Everyone knows that empty red seats doesn't look as empty
Imagine being knocked to the floor by Ozil. I'd retire out of embarrassment.
Football fans are spoiled by PL today. This just finished, Chelsea - United next.
To be fair, the only reason the PL and football in general are what they are today is because the sport has penetrated borders. You should be thankful that there are international fans. Without them, the oil money would've gone to MMA or something and you would be fighting for survival with Palace.
City don’t need the added advantage of refereeing decisions as well.
The dive to win a penalty against Burnley was similarly brushed over as nothing just like the two decisions today. Silva should of had a retrospective ban for that one as well.

The international break is up next, it will be interesting too see if the international break, will affect them this time around. Anyway they are yet to play us and Tottenham twice and they are still yet to play all of those teams gain Arsenal and Liverpool away and Chelsea at home.
Spanish government clearly jailed the wrong individuals.
If you can't even upset Guardiola, you're not a great manager, are you?
We were a bit leggy today, still far superior and doubt even without the marginal offside that arsenal would have scored another
Nope I'm not though I am English born. I don't say stupid things like Manchester is blue when I only get there once or twice a year. I also don't lose my mind when someone asks me not to call them a bastard for no reason like santi.
There's a Grinner comment on his profile page from over a year ago that says it all.Nooo, don't ban Santi, he single handedly keep the football threads alive
Predictable result anyway. Arsenal big matches are the most predictable ones in the league.
31 points, 31 goal difference.
May as well give the trophy to citeh now
Not that hard. Look at how much Silva and Jesus manage to move while Xhaka et al are just standing there, appealing to the ref. I mean, Silva runs down towards the line, receives the ball with his back to goal, turns around, runs a few yards, and the Arsenal players haven't been able to move more than three yards. In the first image, Koscielny is about half a yard away from where he ends up in the third one, having moved half a yard in the other direction in the middle picture. Meanwhile, Silva's ran about 10 yards and turned around with the ball, and last time I checked Silva wasn't that quick.
I've got no issue at all. I've grown up in Ireland since I'm 5. My issue is santi having a meltdown, calling us bastards. Then he's asked to not do that and makes a quote about a place he's never been.
And yet the amount of calls that went against us when Sir Alex was around was pretty bad at stages.
Something something can’t win the league if we lose to Chelsea.
Not normally one for the early-season dramatics, but if we don't beat Chelsea today it's really hard to see anybody catching them.
Unbelievable how many empty seats there are for such a high profile match, surely their following should be increasing domestically?
Tbf we need extraordinary results to counter city's run. Which means no, draws against Liverpool or Chelsea aren't enough.
Exactly, the more 50/50s you create, the more calls you are going to get.
Just like when peolle ask “why dont we get penalties anymore?” Because we dont drive at pace with the ball into the box any more.
This
Two goals symbolic of recent Arsenal. Bad ref decisions gifting two goals to City. But both goal sequences show the mentality and tactical issues with Arsenal players switching off in the crucial moments. Lacazette looked good at least for a minute.
And no more feck ups against shite like Huddersfield and Stoke.
Yes we have to go for the win. If we do and they beat us then fair enough. If we look happy with a draw I will be furious as that will never be enough to catch City.
Really looking forward to this game, massive pressure on both teams here I think it will be simply a case of who doesn't bootle it.
That offside decision killed the game. Would have been good to see us trying to nick a draw going into the last 10 minutes.
Im starting to hate City as well. I was indifferent to them winning things at the start but its just shit having a lottery winning football club hammer each team every week.
